Ultrahigh cycle fatigue fracture mechanism of high-quality bearing steel obtained through different deoxidation methods

The mechanism of oxide inclusions in fatigue crack initiation in the very-high cycle fatigue(VHCF)regime was clarified by subjecting bearing steels deoxidized by Al(Al-deoxidized steel)and Si(Si-deoxidized steel)to ultrasonic tension-compression fatigue tests(stress ratio,R=−1)and analyzing the characteristics of the detected inclusions.Results show that the main types of inclusions in Si-and Al-deoxidized steels are silicate and calcium aluminate,respectively.The content of calcium aluminate inclusions larger than 15μm in Si-deoxidized steel is lower than that in Al-deoxidized steel,and the difference observed may be attributed to different inclusion generation processes during melting.Despite differences in their cleanliness and total oxygen contents,the Si-and Al-deoxidized steels show similar VHCF lives.The factors causing fatigue failure in these steels reveal distinct differences.Calcium aluminate inclusions are responsible for the cracks in Al-deoxidized steel.By comparison,most fatigue cracks in Si-deoxidized steel are triggered by the inhomogeneity of a steel matrix,which indicates that the damage mechanisms of the steel matrix can be a critical issue for this type of steel.A minor portion of the cracks in Si-deoxidized steel could be attributed to different types of inclusions.The mechanisms of fatigue fracture caused by calcium aluminate and silicate inclusions were further analyzed.Calcium aluminate inclusions first separate from the steel matrix and then trigger crack generation.Silicate inclusions and the steel matrix are closely combined in a fatigue process;thus,these inclusions have mild effects on the fatigue life of bearing steels.Si/Mn deoxidation is an effective method to produce high-quality bearing steel with a long fatigue life and good liquid steel fluidity.

采用国际通用的Sapphire-Gemini滑动轴承材料疲劳试验机对复合轴瓦材料进行疲劳磨损试验。结果表明,轴瓦磨损疲劳破坏的方式为合金层产生裂纹或从钢背剥落。影响疲劳强度的主要因素是夹杂、孔穴、疏松等冶金缺陷和显微组织以及合金层与钢背的结合牢度。分析表明,裂纹源为夹杂物富集处和不规则孔穴、带尖角夹杂物处。     

轴承钢中夹杂物与接触疲劳裂纹萌生的关系

通过在国产JPM—1型接触疲劳试验机上对国产GCr15、瑞典SKF及美国SAE52100三种类似的轴承钢进行的接触疲劳试验,观察到许多接触疲劳微裂纹及引起裂纹萌生的夹杂物。利用金相显微镜、扫描电镜观察并测量萌生裂纹的夹杂物形状、尺寸、位置,并用图相分析仪测定出夹杂物尺寸分布,从而找出轴承钢中夹杂物与接触疲劳裂纹萌生之间的定量关系,为提高轴承钢冶金质量,完善夹杂物评级标准提供科学依据。     

精炼渣成分与轴承钢夹杂物类型关系热力学分析

针对轴承钢中钙铝酸盐大型夹杂物的控制问题,通过计算GCr15轴承钢中尖晶石MgO·Al2 O3、钙的铝酸盐CaO·6Al2 O3夹杂物生成热力学,分析精炼渣成分与夹杂物类型之间的定量关系.结果表明：当钢水中含有质量分数0.10×10-6的溶解钙[Ca]时,只要溶解镁[Mg]质量分数小于10×10-6,MgO·Al2O3就会被[Ca]还原成 CaO·6Al2O3;当精炼渣碱度为7.04,(MgO)质量分数为1.38%时,钢水中溶解[Mg]质量分数比临界[Mg]质量分数低56%,夹杂物以尺寸大于10μm的CaO-Al2O3系复合夹杂为主;当精炼渣碱度为3.75,(MgO)质量分数3.14%时,钢水中溶解[Mg]质量分数比临界[Mg]质量分数低14%,夹杂物以尺寸小于8μm的MnS包裹MgO·Al2 O3复合夹杂为主;当精炼渣钙铝比C/A为1.8~2.0时,控制精炼渣碱度R为4.5~5.5,(MgO)质量分数为3%~5%,即能使钢中MgO·Al2O3保持稳定而不转变为CaO·6Al2O3.     

硫化物对GCr15轴承钢疲劳寿命的影响

硫使钢产生“热脆”,异相夹杂物使钢基体产生嵌镶应力,对基体产生划伤、割裂作用,破坏机体的连续性.不同类型异相夹杂因其形状、性能、分布、线膨胀系数等的不同而对基体产生的影响迥异.硫化物夹杂因其塑性好、线膨胀系数大、对轴承钢疲劳寿命影响较小.对硬脆夹杂物有包裹作用而对轴承钢疲劳裂纹的产生、发展有一定阻碍作用.但在脆性夹杂物大幅度降低条件下,硫(硫化物杂夹)含量范围应当予以限制.     

Ultra-high cycle fatigue behavior of high strength steel with carbide-free bainite/martensite complex microstructure

The ultra-high cycle fatigue behavior of a novel high strength steel with carbide-free bainite/martensite (CFB/M) complex microstructure was studied. The ultra-high cycle fatigue properties were measured by ultrasonic fatigue testing equipment at a frequency of 20 kHz. It is found that there is no horizontal part in the S-N curve and fatigue fracture occurs when the life of specimens exceeds 107 cycles. In addition, the origination of fatigue cracks tends to transfer from the surface to interior of specimens as the fatigue cycle exceeds 107, and the fatigue crack originations of many specimens are not induced by inclusions, but by some kind of "soft structure". It is shown that the studied high strength steel performs good ultra-high cycle fatigue properties. The ultra-high fatigue mechanism was discussed and it is suggested that specific CFB/M complex microstructure of the studied steel contributes to its superior properties.     

高品质轴承钢LF--VD过程非金属夹杂物演变规律

对国内一钢厂EAF→LF→VD→CC工艺生产的高品质GCr15轴承钢进行系统取样,针对DS类非金属夹杂物随机性强的特点,利用能够进行大面积试样检测的ASPEX自动扫描电镜分析统计钢中非金属夹杂物的成分、尺寸、数量等信息。研究发现：GCr15轴承钢冶炼过程中非金属夹杂物主要为MgO- Al2 O3- CaO复合夹杂物和MnS,同时有少量的SiO2- Al2 O3和MgO-Al2 O3复合夹杂物;夹杂物尺寸主要集中在3~8μm,并有少量DS类夹杂物出现且尺寸范围波动很大,最大可以达70μm以上,形貌为圆形或近似圆形;VD有较强的去除夹杂物功能,经过VD真空精炼,夹杂物中CaO含量有增加趋势;吊包至铸坯过程,夹杂物成分向Al2 O3含量增多的区域移动,最终轴承钢铸坯中夹杂物成分位于高Al2 O3含量(≥80%),少量MgO (<20%)和低CaO(<5%)的区域;DS夹杂物的生成和去除具有较强的随机性。     

Z3CN20—09M铸造奥氏体不锈钢的低周疲劳行为

采用径向应变控制研究了Z3CN20-09M奥氏体不锈钢在室温和350℃高温下的低周疲劳行为．Z3CN20-09M不锈钢表现为先硬化后软化的循环特性,但硬化的程度取决于温度和应变幅．随着应变幅的增加,Z3CN20-09M钢的低周疲劳循环寿命逐渐减短,而相同循环次数下应力幅也随之提高．温度对Z3CN20-09M钢的低周疲劳行为影响较大,与室温相比高温下的循环硬化程度更高,相同应变幅下高温的低周疲劳寿命也高于常温下的寿命．通过疲劳实验的原位观察发现,奥氏体内的滑移面、夹杂物及奥氏体和铁素体两相的界面是疲劳裂纹可能的形核位置,奥氏体和铁素体两相的不协调变形使相界处产生应力集中,导致疲劳裂纹容易沿两相界面扩展．     

In-depth analysis of the fatigue mechanism induced by inclusions for high-strength bearing steels

A numerical study of stress distribution and fatigue behavior in terms of the effect of voids adjacent to inclusions was conducted with finite element modeling simulations under different assumptions. Fatigue mechanisms were also analyzed accordingly. The results showed that the effects of inclusions on fatigue life will distinctly decrease if the mechanical properties are close to those of the steel matrix.For the inclusions, which are tightly bonded with the steel matrix, when the Young's modulus is larger than that of the steel matrix, the stress will concentrate inside the inclusion; otherwise, the stress will concentrate in the steel matrix. If voids exist on the interface between inclusions and the steel matrix, their effects on the fatigue process differ with their positions relative to the inclusions. The void on one side of an inclusion perpendicular to the fatigue loading direction will aggravate the effect of inclusions on fatigue behavior and lead to a sharp stress concentration. The void on the top of inclusion along the fatigue loading direction will accelerate the debonding between the inclusion and steel matrix.

镁对H13模具钢中夹杂物变性的影响简

本文研究了镁对H13模具钢中夹杂物的影响,对H13钢中夹杂物的变性进行了热力学计算,分析了镁对夹杂物成分、形貌和粒径分布的影响。结果表明,镁处理H13钢后,夹杂物由Al2 O3转变为MgO·Al2 O3,复合型夹杂物的析出位置也发生了改变,夹杂物粒径变小。镁处理使钢中1μm左右的夹杂物增多,2μm以上的夹杂物减少,随着镁含量的升高,粒径的变化更明显。铝质量分数为0．01％～0．03％的H13钢中,微量的镁就可促使MgO·Al2O3夹杂物形成,镁质量分数超过1×10^-4会导致H13钢中MgO·Al2O3完全消失,镁质量分数在3×10^-5～5．5×10^-5时钢液中镁铝尖晶石的数量达到最多。     

高品质GCr15轴承钢二次精炼过程中夹杂物的演变规律

采用FE-SEM/EDS研究了转炉流程生产的GCr15轴承钢LF、RH精炼过程中夹杂物的演变规律,分析了其演变机理。结果表明:钢中复合夹杂物的演变规律可归纳为:Al2O3→MgO·Al2O3→(CaO-MgO-Al2O3-(CaS))复合氧化物夹杂和Al2O3→(Al2O3-MnS)→(Al2O3-MnS-Ti(C,N))复合氧硫碳氮物夹杂2种方式。LF精炼过程脱硫作用明显,钢中的硫化物夹杂数量大幅减少。LF精炼初期钢中主要是MnS、Al2O3、TiN的单相夹杂物。LF精炼结束后钢中的夹杂物演变为Al2O3为核心外包氧化物及MnS、TiN、Ti(C,N)、CaS的复合夹杂物。精炼渣中的CaO和耐火材料中的MgO经还原后与钢中溶解氧反应导致LF精炼结束时D类夹杂物增加。RH及软吹处理进一步强化了去除钢中的硫化物,但D类及其与A、T类复合的夹杂物含量增加。在LF阶段,夹杂物尺寸主要集中在1~3μm范围内,到RH阶段,夹杂物尺寸则主要集中分布在小于1μm的粒度范围。最大夹杂物尺寸由10.79μm降到5.68μm,单位面积夹杂个数由372个/mm2降到258个/mm2。RH及软吹处理有效地降低了钢中大于3μm的夹杂物。

XCQ16和20Mn2车轴用钢疲劳失效的微观机理

利用扫描电镜(SEM)对XCQ16和20Mn2两种车轴用钢疲劳断口和裂纹扩展断口进行分析,研究疲劳失效过程中的裂纹萌生及扩展机理.结果表明:裂纹均是从试样表面萌生,非金属夹杂和位错是主要的萌生机制;XCQ16钢在疲劳断口中部区的裂纹闭合效应大于20Mn2钢,裂纹扩展较慢;两者在裂纹扩展区的扩展机理不同,XCQ16钢属于塑性断裂,20Mn2钢属于解理断裂;在非金属夹杂上,XCQ16钢多含氧化物和硫化物的混合夹杂,20Mn2钢主要是氧化物夹杂,混合夹杂对材料的疲劳性能影响较小.     

82B硬线钢精炼渣和夹杂物研究

从A12O3活度和夹杂物成分两方面来研究精炼渣对夹杂物的影响．采用Factsage软件对CaO—A1203-SiO3-MgO（8％）-CaF2（8％）炉渣中A1203,活度进行了计算,并研究了碱度和（MgO）含量对A12O3度的影响．当炉渣碱度从1．0增加到2．0时,炉渣中A1203活度随着炉渣碱度的增加而降低;当炉渣碱度从2．0增加到3．8时,A1203活度变化幅度很小;（MgO）质量分数分别为5％和8％的渣,A1203活度差距较小;在碱度高的炉渣中[A1]。容易被从炉渣还原到钢水中．在使用高碱度精炼渣的盘条中发现许多含有MgO的硬性夹杂物,并对此进行了分析,最后得出最适宜的炉渣碱度为2．5—3．0．     

不同碱度精炼渣系对弹簧钢夹杂物的影响

哈贝马斯对《启蒙辩证法》的否定性解读,使得该著中的拯救逻辑遭到歪曲。由哈贝马斯的解读所延伸出的对《启蒙辩证法》拯救逻辑的美学化和精神分析化的重构与阿多尔诺的哲学思想相矛盾,由此我们必须重新反思哈贝马斯的解读模式。《启蒙辩证法》并非仅仅局限于工具理性批判,它通过有规定的否定达到了对现代启蒙当中现实权力因素的内在批判,它因此并没有彻底否定启蒙也没有重新树立新的乌托邦。对自然的回忆的拯救逻辑意味着思想必须对自身展开批判,以达到重新正视社会现实中的苦难现象,从而解构抽象主体的优先地位。     

Characteristics of Al2O3, MnS,and TiN inclusions in the remelting process of bearing steel

The Al2O3, MnS, and TiN inclusions in bearing steel will deteriorate the steel's mechanical properties. Therefore, elucidating de-tailed characteristics of these inclusions in consumable electrode during the electroslag remelting process is important for achieving a subse-quently clean ingot. In this study, a confocal scanning violet laser microscope was used to simulate the remelting process and observe, in real time, the behaviors of inclusions. The obtained images show that, after the temperature exceeded the steel solidus temperature, MnS and TiN inclusions in the specimen began to dissolve. Higher temperatures led to faster dissolution, and the inclusions disappeared before the steel was fully liquid. In the case of an observed Al2O3 inclusion, its shape changed from angular to a smooth ellipsoid in the region where the solid and liquid coexisted and it began to dissolve as the temperature continued to increase. This dissolution was driven by the difference in oxygen potential between the inclusion and the liquid steel.     

超低碳钢顶渣氧化性对钢液洁净度的影响

为探究降低顶渣氧化性对改善超低碳钢钢液洁净度的影响,在转炉终点至中间包过程中,在多位置取炉渣和钢水试样,分别进行炉渣氧化性、钢液成分和夹杂物分析.实验结果表明:转炉出钢后通过对顶渣改质,渣中T.Fe由转炉终点的19.18％降至RH进站时的4.68％,顶渣氧化性降低明显.渣中T.Fe降低导致钢中[O]的降低,T.Fe较低的炉次平均吹氧量较大,使得铝脱氧前钢中[O]较高.RH结束渣T.Fe与夹杂物数量呈线性关系,T.Fe越低夹杂物数量越少,同时RH结束后夹杂物数量与铝脱氧前钢中[O]无必然关系.顶渣(CaO)/(Al2O3)会影响其吸收Al2O3夹杂物的能力,(CaO)/(Al2 O3)控制不合理的炉次,其夹杂物数量也较多.通过降低顶渣氧化性,热轧板卷缺陷率得到明显降低.     

0Cr18Ni9不锈钢中非金属夹杂物来源

不同温度下60Si2MnA弹簧钢中低熔点夹杂物生成热力学

借助FactSage热力学软件分别对1873、1823和1773 K三个不同温度下60Si2MnA弹簧钢液与MnO--SiO2--Al2O3系、CaO--Al2O3--SiO2系和CaO--Al2O3--SiO2--15%MgO系夹杂物间的平衡进行了计算.通过上述计算分析,确定了三个不同温度下分别形成上述低熔点夹杂物时所对应的钢液成分.经过对比还发现:低温更有利于钢液在低溶解氧含量条件下实现上述不同类型夹杂物的低熔点化控制.钢液中生成低熔点SiO2--Al2O3--CaO--15%MgO系夹杂物要比生成低熔点SiO2--Al2O3--CaO系夹杂物所需的钢液Al含量高很多,这在实际生产中更容易控制.
