Investigation of radiation-induced surface activation effect in austenitic stainless steel under ultraviolet and γ-ray irradiations

The radiation-induced surface activation (RISA) effect will be applied to the core design in supercritical light water reactor (SCWR) in order to achieve a high performance with excellent economy and safety. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the RISA effect in the candidate fuel cladding materials in SCWR such as PNC1520. The change of weldability due to RISA effect and the related microstructure analysis were performed in oxidized PNC1520 and 304 stainless steel with various oxidization periods. The phases contained in the surface oxide layer of the present specimen were identified as Fe₂CrO₄, γ-Fe₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃. The lifetime of 13.8 days for wettability improving factor was confirmed in the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Meanwhile, the long life of 13.8 days and short life of 0.8 days for wettability improving factors were identified in the γ-ray irradiation. Based on the fact that the band gap energies of Fe₂CrO₄, γ-Fe₂O₃, and Fe₂O₃ were, respectively, 2.1, 2.0, and 2.2 eV, and the photo energies of UV and γ-ray irradiation were 4.48 eV and 13.3 MeV, it is therefore clarified that the hydrophilization on the oxide layer is ascribed to the RISA effect.     

Distortions and tensile properties of 15-5PH steel cylinders with EBW and heat treatment

15-5PH steel is one of the martensitic precipitation-hardened stainless steels, which is extensively applied in the aero shafts, and electron beam welding is a significant procedure to manufacture the parts. To verify the dimension accuracies and properties, EBW with oscillation was employed on the cylinders of 15-5PH steel. The welding distortions were measured, and the microstructures and tensile properties of the joints were investigated. The weld appearances of the cylinders were smooth, and the morphology was parallel. After EBW, the shrinkages of the cylinders were above ?0.22?mm, and the welding distortions were ?0.66 to ?1.1‰, and the straightnesses were less than 1‰ due to the distortions. The martensites and a few austenites were in the welds of the cylinders after heat treatment, and the microhardnesses in the welds were 445 HV0.2, which were bigger and more homogeneous than those of the as-welded. The tensile strength and yield strength of the joints were respectively 1300 and 1150?MPa, which were higher than those of the as-welded joints, and the elongation rate of the joints was 10%. The microstructures and properties of the cylinders conformed to the aero shafts, which was attributed to the microstructure transformation with oscillation EBW and heat treatment.     

Friction stir welding of API X70 steel incorporating Ti-dioxide

In the present work, the microstructural evolution and hardness of HSLA X70 joined by friction stir welding were investigated. The FSW was applied to HSLA X70 with and without the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) powders. To evaluate the microstructural features and hardness of different weld zones, optical microscopy and Vickers microhardness measurements were applied. The results show that the distribution of TiO₂ powders is strongly dependent on the applied friction stir processing, which in turn changed significantly the microstructure and hardness profile. In this regard, the optimum stirring action resulted in a homogeneous and fine dispersion of particles leading to the domination of an acicular ferrite phase with a hardness of 370 HV. On the other hand, the lower stirring action resulted in coarse particles as well as the development of the polygonal ferrite structure with a hardness of ～185 HV.     

不锈钢酸洗污泥对烧结黏结相与平衡相的影响

 不锈钢酸洗污泥安全填埋占用土地且难以消除对环境的危害,将酸洗污泥作为烧结配料使用有望回收其中铁、铬、镍等金属,并充分利用其中的熔剂组分,实现酸洗污泥在冶金企业的闭路资源化利用。铁矿粉配加酸洗污泥烧结黏结相强度试验表明,随着酸洗污泥配加比例的增加,黏结相强度先增加后减小,且随着碱度的增加整体减小,当酸洗污泥配加比例为10%时,试样中赤铁矿、磁铁矿质量分数最大,枪晶石质量分数较小,在碱度为1.5时于1 280 ℃焙烧4 min,试样的黏结相强度最大可达15.12 kN。平衡相烧结试验表明,配加酸洗污泥能改善烧结矿质量,铁矿粉配加10%的酸洗污泥,碱度为1.5,1 300 ℃烧结240 min后,烧结矿的矿相组成和微观结构最好,综合性能最佳。     

热力学分析MnS夹杂物析出与控制

 为了深入研究与控制重轨钢中大尺寸MnS夹杂物,针对目前热力学计算MnS析出行为问题,提出在应用时需要根据实际条件做相应的选择进行计算。在比较了目前几个常用的热力学数据后,基于U75V钢中MnS夹杂物形成过程,建立了适合计算MnS夹杂物析出的分段计算方法。研究表明,采用FactSage 6.4商业软件计算MnS析出温度为1 631 K,与平衡热力学参数计算的结果1 694 K相差63 K。该方法可准确预测MnS的析出行为,降低了热力学分析MnS析出的难度。在1 473、1 573 和1 673 K 3个温度下固溶硫质量分数分别为0.000 67%、0.001 67%和0.010 8%。在铸坯轧制之前的开坯和保温温度为1 563 K时,需要将钢中硫质量分数降低到0.001 67%以下,才能有效控制大尺寸的MnS夹杂物。     

304不锈钢不同精炼渣碱度下夹杂物的演变

 为了提高304不锈钢的产品质量,结合生产实际,利用热力学计算和扫描电镜能谱分析方法, 研究了硅脱氧条件下,LF精炼渣碱度对304不锈钢在LF精炼、连铸过程夹杂物变化规律的影响。试验结果表明,随着冶炼过程进行,全氧质量分数和夹杂物数量依次减小。304不锈钢采用1.75高碱度炉渣,可以得到较低的全氧质量分数和夹杂物数量,但是夹杂物中Al2O3质量分数高,夹杂物熔点高。采用1.53低碱度炉渣,钢液中全氧质量分数较采用高碱度炉渣高,但是夹杂物中CaO、Al2O3质量分数相对较低,SiO2和MnO质量分数较高,夹杂物熔点低。针对304不锈钢产品可以采用不同的生产工艺路线来满足产品的不同需求。     

热处理对超级13Cr不锈钢组织及拉伸性能的影响

 为了研究热处理工艺对超级13Cr不锈钢组织及拉伸性能的影响,采用了光学显微镜、X射线衍射仪、透射电子显微镜、显微硬度测试及应变速率拉伸等试验方法。结果表明,经过水淬和油淬处理的超级13Cr不锈钢组织及拉伸性能相差不大。但相比于水淬,采用油淬的试样经回火处理后塑性得到更大提升。淬火试样经回火处理后,组织变为回火索氏体。随着回火温度升高,材料的塑性先增加后减小,硬度与强度变化则相反。620 ℃回火试样含有逆变奥氏体,强度塑性组合较好。二次回火能够增加超级13Cr不锈钢中逆变奥氏体含量,但塑性变化不明显,强度下降较大。     

超高强韧油井管合金设计与高强韧机制

 为了揭示1 000 MPa级低碳加铌钒钛微合金钢的高强韧机制,研究了S1(w(C)=0.09%)与S2(w(C)=0.17%)两种合金成分的油井管钢成分-工艺-组织-性能关系。试验表明,两种成分试验钢经水淬后的组织分别为板条贝氏体加少量马氏体和马氏体加少量贝氏体的复相组织。两种成分钢经过450~600 ℃、30 min的中温回火后,组织中均出现碳化物析出,且S1试验钢回火后的屈服强度基本不变,抗拉强度下降了约70 MPa,S2试验钢回火后的屈服强度与抗拉强度迅速升高170 MPa左右。溶度积公式的计算结果表明,两种钢的水淬组织中铌、钛元素析出彻底且析出物的体积分数都很小,因此回火铁素体基体中的VC析出强化对S1试验钢回火后屈服强度保持不变以及S2试验钢回火后屈服、抗拉强度提高起到重要作用。
