Alloy optimisation of bainitic steel for large plastic mould

Based on the phase transformation theories, especially the T₀ concept of bainite transformation, alloy optimisation of bainitic steel with carbides has been carried out aiming at the produce of plastic mould with large cross-section. The effect of manganese and silicon on proeutectoid ferrite and bainite transformation is explored by dilatometric analysis, XRD and different microscopy techniques. The results show that after the alloy optimisation, the transformation of proeutectoid ferrite is suppressed and when the cooling rate is lower than 0·1°C?s^??1, the new lower bainite transformation appears by decreasing carbon capacity of austenite and promoting carbide precipitation. Industrial production proves that the optimised alloy SDP1 can meet the demand for the plastic mould with the thickness of 1050?mm.     

Influence of the Preheat Treatment on the Microstructure and Properties of X37CrMoV5-1 Steel

The technological properties of the hot-work tool steels depend on their microstructural quality induced by the production process and the heat treatment. One of the frequently applied methods to improve microstructure is preheat treatment. The treatment of carbonitriding X37CrMoV5-1 steel has been investigated in fluidized bed furnaces. Thickness and phase composition have been conducted using optical microscopy Neophot 32 and scanning microscopy, JEOL 5400, after etching in nital.     

Improvement in Stress Corrosion Crack Growth Resistance of an Austempered Cast Steel by a Novel Two-Step Austempering Process

An investigation was carried out to examine the influence of microstructure on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) growth behavior of an austempered high-carbon (1.00%), high-silicon (3.00%), and high-manganese (2.00%) cast steel. Compact tension specimens were prepared from this cast steel as per American Society for Testing Materials standard E-399 and were given four different heat treatments to produce different microstructures. The SCC behavior of these specimens was studied in 3.5% NaCl solution. The test results indicate the K_ISCCvalue of the material increases as the austenite content increases. Significant improvement in SCC resistance was achieved by using a novel two-step austempering process. Intergranular crack growth was observed in all these specimens.     

Cu－Zn－Al合金中贝氏体的有序性

本文用Ｘ射线研究了Ｃｕ－２０Ｚｎ－６Ａｌ（ｗｔ％）合金中贝氏体结构的有序性，并与马氏体结构进行了比较，实验表明，从高温Ｂ２母相和低温Ｌ２１母相生成的贝氏体中（１１５）和（２０５）衍射峰或（１２１０）和（２０１０）衍射峰是重叠的，对生成的贝氏体进行一段时间的保温或缓慢冷却处理，其衍射峰的特征并不改变，这与马氏体（１１５）和（２０５）衍射峰或（１２１０）和（２０１０）衍射峰的分离特性不相符合。说明贝氏体结构有序度与马氏体明显不同，它的形成不可能继承母相的有序度。

试样薄化导致的Cu－Al贝氏体／马氏体组织变化

加热到１１７３Ｋ的Ｃｕ－２５ａｔ；％Ａｌ合金块状试样经７２３Ｋ６０Ｓ等温淬火后其组织由片状的“羽毛状贝氏体（９Ｒ结构）和β＿１＇马氏体（１８Ｒ结构）组成。当试样被离子束轰去进一步薄化后，在足够薄的区域内生成了许多２Ｈ结构的薄片马氏体。初步分析认为该薄片马氏体形成的原因是由于贝氏体生成时在试样内留下了高的应力场，当试样薄化到一临界厚度以下时，试样区的三维约束条件松弛使试样内的应力场触发了薄片马氏体的生成。这些薄片马氏体是通过位于贝氏体界面上位错的重新启动而长大的。     

Nb微合金化建筑钢筋微观组织与屈服行为的关系

采用力学拉伸试验、显微组织观察等手段，对屈服平台长度不同的Nb微合金化建筑钢筋进行了金相组织定量分析，并对无屈服平台的试样进行了时效处理。结果表明：贝氏体含量影响着钢筋屈服平台的变化；随贝氏体含量的增大，钢筋屈服平台长度逐渐缩短直至消失；一定温度下，长时间的时效保温处理可使得钢筋的屈服平台得以恢复。在此基础上，讨论了贝氏体的影响机理、生成原因以及改善措施。

Combined effects of high-temperature rolling and ultrafast cooling on the mechanical properties of low-carbon steel

The role of ultrafast cooling (UFC) on the grain refinement of ferrite, the precipitation behavior of cementite particles and the mechanical properties of a mild steel (Q235 grade) was evaluated by applying laminar cooling and UFC and varying the finish cooling temperature ranges during UFC after hot rolling. While UFC refined the ferrite grains, it accumulated the degeneration of pearlite, resulting in complete disappearance of the laminar pearlite at relatively low finish cooling temperatures. The minimum mean size of spheroidized cementite particles reached ~110?nm. Meanwhile, the enhancement of UFC on tensile strengths of mild steels mainly resulted from the grain refinement of ferrite and the precipitation strengthening of cementite particles; however, the contribution varied with the finish cooling temperature of UFC. A modified Ashby–Orowan model was also used for evaluating the yield strength increment of medium plates. This work will provide a theoretical basis for the diversity control of microstructure and for developing stronger and tougher mild steels by introducing UFC technology after high-temperature rolling.     

钢中贝氏体相变热力学

应用综合理论分析的方法研究了钢中贝氏体相变热力学.指出以往的KRC,LFG模型不适于贝氏体相变驱动力的计算.在进行相变热力学分析的基础上,依据γ→αB γ1→BF γ1转变机制设计了新的计算模型,并估算了Bs温度下相变阻力为105 J/mol.指出相变不仅与驱动力有关,而且取决于原子扩散能力.在贝氏体上部温度区,可以依靠界面扩散进行台阶长大;在460 ℃以下的某一段温度,可能以原子热激活跃迁无扩散机制进行贝氏体铁素体形核-长大过程;在Ms点稍上一段温度,可能以切变方式进行.
