Q235碳素钢不同热变形条件下退火过程的织构分析

利用扫描电镜、背散射电子衍射(EBXD)和X射线衍射技术研究了三种方式热变形后保温时铁素体的长大行为.结果表明,回复、再结晶和长大的相对程度与第二相粒子的状态及铁素体的取向分布有关.形变强化相变产生的超细铁素体中形变储存能较低,退火时难以发生静态再结晶,而以晶粒长大为主,铁素体因第二相出现较晚而充分生长:A1温度以下纯铁素体区形变的铁素体虽然形变储存能最高,形变量最大,但第二相钉扎最明显,铁素体仅发生部分再结晶,<111>取向形变晶粒比<100>取向形变晶粒更明显地被削弱;α+γ两相区形变时,铁素体(亚)晶粒发生回复式长大,<111>取向晶粒和<100>取向晶粒有不同的再结晶倾向.     

珠光体对铁素体动态再结晶的影响

利用光学显微镜,探讨等温退火工艺中退火温度和保温时间对C-Mn钢组织的影响,尤其是对铁素体再结晶、魏氏体和托氏体相变的影响。研究结果表明:加热温度在750℃以下时,以铁素体回复再结晶为主,退火温度升高及保温时间延长均能增加铁素体再结晶程度,但晶粒长大不明显。退火温度在850℃以上时,相变发生在冷却过程中,以魏氏体、托氏体相变为主,且保温过程中奥氏体晶粒越大,冷却时魏氏体和托氏体转变量越多,铁素体含量越少。     

共析钢温变形过程的组织球化与超细化

ZrC/奥氏体相界面形变诱导相变动力学

研究热模拟单向压缩条件下含ZrC粒子的低碳锰(铌)钢在形变诱导相变过程中的铁素体转变动力学关系。研究结果表明:添加ZrC粒子使试验用钢奥氏体晶界的形核率明显增加,影响形变诱导铁素体的形态、分布及晶粒细化效果;高温变形时由于形变诱导的作用,铁素体转变量随应变的增大不断增加,而铁素体晶粒的细化主要是由于动态再结晶的作用,试验用钢在形变诱导相变的变形温度TAe3～TAr3之间的低温区进行变形(TAe3为形变诱导相变的开始温度,TAr3为形变诱导相变的终止温度),可以加速铁素体形核;同时,一定粒径和体积分数(0.6%)的ZrC粒子作为形变和再结晶核心,不仅阻碍位错的运动,而且造成位错密度增大,因而提高α-Fe形核率。在温度为900℃、应变速率为1s-1的条件下,试验用钢获得超细组织对应的ZrC粒子临界体积分数为0.6%。     

含钒超细晶双相钢的细化机制

利用铁素体+马氏体+贝氏体的初始显微组织结合冷轧和连续退火的方法达到了细化晶粒的目的,通过这种方式制备的双相钢中有63.8%的铁素体晶粒尺寸分布于0.5～1μm,有53%的马氏体晶粒尺寸分布于0.5～1μm.针对该现象研究了基于铁素体+马氏体+贝氏体初始显微组织含钒超细晶双相钢的晶粒细化机制.分析认为,细化机制主要有三个方面:第一是形变对显微组织的细化,包括为了得到铁素体+马氏体+贝氏体的初始显微组织而进行的热轧和冷轧;第二是冷轧态显微组织的再结晶和快速奥氏体化;第三是钒的析出物阻碍奥氏体的长大.     

铌微合金化钢中热形变奥氏体的再结晶与沉淀过程研究

本文对10MnNb钢热形变奥氏体的再结晶和沉淀过程进行研究,并与16Mn钢作对比,以判别铌的影响。铌的微量添加使形变奥氏体的动态回复与再结晶过程得到延缓。无铌钢动态再结晶的表现激活能为30.4kcal/mole,而含铌钢则为74.9kcal/mole。铌的添加亦明显地阻碍热形变奥氏体的静态回复与再结晶;在800℃时,含铌钢的静态再结晶几乎完全被抑制。形变奥氏体的再结晶有两种方式:一种是应变诱导晶界迁移,但不是主要的方式,主要的是通过原奥氏体晶界或退火孪晶界上形核并长大。形变奥氏体中的应变诱导碳化物沉淀和未形变奥氏体中碳化铌的静态沉淀研究表明:0.357的应变量可使碳化物沉淀过程加速两个数量级。再结晶过程改变了沉淀粒子的尺寸与分布。这是由于再结晶前沿界面引起沉淀粒子快速粗化所致。本文对再结晶和沉淀过程的交互作用的微观机制进行了探讨。铌抑制再结晶过程的原因是由于溶质原子对晶界或亚晶界的拖曳效应以及碳化铌沉淀粒子对这些晶界的钉扎作用。根据铌对热形变奥氏体再结晶与沉淀过程的影响规律,对优选10MnNb钢的控制轧制工艺参数作了分析并提出了建议。

In situ observation of austenite grain growth behavior in the simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone of Ti-microalloyed steels

The austenite grain growth behavior in a simulated coarse-grained heat-affected zone during thermal cycling was investigated via in situ observation. Austenite grains nucleated at ferrite grain boundaries and then grew in different directions through movement of grain boundaries into the ferrite phase. Subsequently, the adjacent austenite grains impinged against each other during the α→γ transformation. After the α→γ transformation, austenite grains coarsened via the coalescence of small grains and via boundary migration between grains. The growth process of austenite grains was a continuous process during heating, isothermal holding, and cooling in simulated thermal cycling. Abundant finely dispersed nanoscale TiN particles in a steel specimen containing 0.012wt% Ti effectively retarded the grain boundary migration, which resulted in refined austenite grains. When the Ti concentration in the steel was increased, the number of TiN particles decreased and their size coarsened. The big particles were not effective in pinning the austenite grain boundary movement and resulted in coarse austenite grains.     

送装工艺对板坯再加热过程奥氏体晶粒细化的影响

连铸坯下线至加热炉的温度制度及其表层组织演变与热送或粗轧裂纹密切相关.基于热模拟实验分析了送装工艺对奥氏体转变特征和再加热晶粒尺寸的影响.高温共聚焦激光扫描显微镜原位观察表明,含Nb J55钢在双相区700℃热装时,组织为晶界膜状先共析铁素体、魏氏体和大量残留奥氏体,再加热至1200℃,奥氏体晶粒大小、位置都不变;单相区600℃温装时,组织为大量铁素体+珠光体,再加热至1200℃时,奥氏体晶粒明显细化.马弗炉模拟SS400钢双相区不同热装温度发现,铁素体转变量至少达70%时才可细化再加热后的奥氏体晶粒.在临界转变量以上,基体中铁素体转变量越多晶粒细化程度越明显.

Influence of original microstructure on the transformation behavior and mechanical properties of ultra-high-strength TRIP-aided steel

The transformation behavior and tensile properties of an ultra-high-strength transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel (0.2C-2.0Si-1.8Mn) were investigated by different heat treatments for automobile applications. The results show that F-TRIP steel, a traditional TRIP steel containing as-cold-rolled ferrite and pearlite as the original microstructure, consists of equiaxed grains of intercritical ferrite surrounded by discrete particles of M/RA and B. In contrast, M-TRIP steel, a modified TRIP-aided steel with martensite as the original microstructure, containing full martensite as the original microstructure is comprised of lath-shaped grains of ferrite separated by lath-shaped martensite/retained austenite and bainite. Most of the austenite in F-TRIP steel is granular, while the austenite in M-TRIP steel is lath-shaped. The volume fraction of the retained austenite as well as its carbon content is lower in F-TRIP steel than in M-TRIP steel, and austenite grains in M-TRIP steel are much finer than those in F-TRIP steel. Therefore, M-TRIP steel was concluded to have a higher austenite stability, resulting in a lower transformation rate and consequently contributing to a higher elongation compared to F-TRIP steel. Work hardening behavior is also discussed for both types of steel.     

Effect of initial microstructure on austenite formation kinetics in high-strength experimental microalloyed steels

Austenite formation kinetics in two high-strength experimental microalloyed steels with different initial microstructures compris-ing bainite–martensite and ferrite–martensite/austenite microconstituents was studied during continuous heating by dilatometric analysis. Austenite formation occurred in two steps:(1) carbide dissolution and precipitation and (2) transformation of residual ferrite to austenite. Di-latometric analysis was used to determine the critical temperatures of austenite formation and continuous heating transformation diagrams for heating rates ranging from 0.03°C×s?1 to 0.67°C×s?1. The austenite volume fraction was fitted using the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation to determine the kinetic parameters k and n as functions of the heating rate. Both n and k parameters increased with increasing heat-ing rate, which suggests an increase in the nucleation and growth rates of austenite. The activation energy of austenite formation was deter-mined by the Kissinger method. Two activation energies were associated with each of the two austenite formation steps. In the first step, the austenite growth rate was controlled by carbon diffusion from carbide dissolution and precipitation;in the second step, it was controlled by the dissolution of residual ferrite to austenite.     

Effect of microstructure on the impact toughness of a bainitic steel bloom for large plastic molds

The correlation between the impact toughness and microstructural characteristics of a large bainitic steel bloom has been investigated. The study focuses on microcrack nucleation and propagation in the basic cleavage plane. To analyze the phase transformation during the wind-cooling process, the temperature field of the bloom was acquired by computer simulation, and a continuous cooling transformation experiment was conducted. The results show that compared with the surface of the bloom, the toughness of the bloom’s core is decreased by the increase in proeutectoid ferrite and the coarsening of tempered martensite–austenite constituents. The proeutectoid ferrite decreases the toughness via its effects on carbide precipitation, the formation of martensite–austenite constituents, and the bainite transformation. The relatively large tempered martensite–austenite constituents are conducive to microcrack nucleation and propagation.
