Al-Mg/Ti-Mg脱氧钢中夹杂物诱发点蚀行为研究

以不同脱氧方式熔炼的海洋工程用钢为研究对象,利用SEM、EDS及Image-Pro Plus 6.0软件对钢中夹杂物形貌、组成及尺寸分布等进行表征,通过3.5%NaCl溶液中阳极极化及腐蚀实验对钢中夹杂物诱发点蚀的行为进行探究。结果表明,与Al-Mg脱氧钢相比,Ti-Mg脱氧钢中形成了含有TiO_x的复合氧化物,夹杂数量更多且平均尺寸更小(小于1μm),有利于MnS的异质形核析出及弥散分布;低腐蚀活性的含TiOx复合氧化物及高度分散、异质局部析出MnS夹杂具有较低的点蚀敏感性及自腐蚀催化作用,降低了点蚀的诱发及扩展,有效提高了钢的抗点蚀性能。     

含钛高强钢中夹杂物析出行为研究

以不同钛含量(0.032%~0.153%)的高强钢为研究对象,利用SEM、EDS等对钢中氧化物及氮化物夹杂的形貌、组成、数量及尺寸分布进行表征,结合热力学与动力学计算,对TiN的析出行为进行分析。结果表明,当钢中Ti含量较低(0.032%)时,冶炼过程会形成富含MgAl_2O_4的多边形高熔点固态夹杂,易造成水口堵塞;当Ti含量大于0.106%时,钢中形成了富含TiAl_2O_5的液态球形夹杂,可通过上浮去除,不易堵塞水口;Ca处理能将低钛钢中的夹杂改性为低熔点的铝酸钙,不仅降低了水口堵塞风险,还能还原夹杂物中的Ti,提高Ti的收得率。含钛高强钢中夹杂物平均尺寸为1~2μm,氮化物平均尺寸为1~3μm,其均随着Ti含量的增加而稍有增加。当Ti含量小于0.04%时,将钢中N含量控制在0.0018%以下,能有效减小TiN的析出尺寸;当Ti含量大于0.1%时,实际工业生产中很难阻止TiN的液析,但可通过提高钢中细小氧化物的数量,来细化TiN的尺寸。     

Al对高碳钢连续冷却转变行为的影响

通过热处理试验结合热力学与动力学计算,研究连续缓慢冷却过程中Al元素对高碳钢组织转变的影响。结果表明,未添加Al的高碳钢中,显微组织由马氏体及残余奥氏体组成,含1.37%Al的高碳钢中出现了体积分数为5.1%的珠光体组织,且宏观硬度降低了约0.8HRC,这是由于Al的加入能使高碳钢的共析点向高温高碳方向移动,提高了珠光体转变的临界冷却速度及相变开始温度,加速了珠光体组织的形成。     

等温温度和时间对超级贝氏体钢Fe-0.40C-2.2Mn-1.5Si相变和组织性能的影响

以超级贝氏体钢Fe-0.40C-2.2Mn-1.5Si为对象,通过热模拟试验、扫描电镜、X射线衍射分析和拉伸试验等方法,研究等温转变温度和保温时间对试验钢的贝氏体相变、微观组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,随着等温转变温度的降低,钢的显微组织中贝氏体形貌从颗粒状贝氏体转变为板条状贝氏体,其强度逐渐提高,但伸长率和强塑积先增大后减小;随着保温时间的增加,钢的抗拉强度逐渐降低,而伸长率和强塑积逐渐增大,因此可通过适当延长相变时间来改善钢的综合力学性能;在350℃下保温90min时,试验钢显微组织中残余奥氏体体积分数最大,且具有最大强塑积。

以某三塔悬索桥中间钢塔为例,研究了火灾对钢桥塔和桥梁结构性能的影响.首先,通过火灾场景数值模拟,得出桥面近塔区域不同类型火灾场景下的火焰温度分布规律,以及钢结构桥塔的温度分布特性.其次,通过非线性分析获得了三塔悬索桥在不同的近塔火灾场景下结构静力性能的变化.结果表明,在大型车辆火灾作用下,钢中塔有超过80m~2的区域温度超过800℃,最高温度达到1 000℃以上,中塔性能受到显著影响.钢中塔的应力、变形发生较为明显的变化:钢塔产生4.6mm的竖向残余变形和53.8mm的侧向残余变形,火灾区域应力折减达70 MPa,而主缆、主梁的应力和变形变化较小.     

稀土含量对TRIP/TWIP钢晶粒及晶界特征的影响

利用XRD和EBSD分析稀土含量对TRIP/TWIP高锰钢相组成、晶粒及晶界特征的影响。结果表明,试验钢变形前组织以γ奥氏体为主,还有部分ε马氏体,经过塑性变形后,组织中还观察到少量α马氏体;随着稀土含量的增加,奥氏体转变为马氏体的量有所增加,表明稀土元素促进了试验钢的TRIP效应。此外,稀土元素的添加细化了试验钢中奥氏体晶粒,减少了小角度晶界数量而增加了大角度晶界数量,尤其是取向差为60°左右的大角度晶界;同时,稀土元素的添加也促进了低Σ值重位点阵(CSL)晶界特别是Σ3晶界的形成。     

Relationship between the specific surface area of rust and the electrochemical behavior of rusted steel in a wet-dry acid corrosion environment

The relationship between the specific surface area (SSA) of rust and the electrochemical behavior of rusted steel under wet-dry acid corrosion conditions was investigated. The results showed that the corrosion current density first increased and then decreased with increasing SSA of the rust during the corrosion process. The structure of the rust changed from single-layer to double-layer, and the γ-FeOOH content decreased in the inner layer of the rust with increasing corrosion time; by contrast, the γ-FeOOH content in the outer layer was constant. When the SSA of the rust was lower than the critical SSA corresponding to the relative humidity during the drying period, condensed water in the micropores of the rust could evaporate, which prompted the diffusion of O₂ into the rust and the following formation process of γ-FeOOH, leading to an increase of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time. However, when the SSA of the rust reached or exceeded the critical SSA, condensate water in the micro-pores of the inner layer of the rust could not evaporate which inhibited the diffusion of O₂ and decreased the γ-FeOOH content in the inner rust, leading to a decrease of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time.     

Reverse-transformation austenite structure control with micro/nanometer size

To control the reverse-transformation austenite structure through manipulation of the micro/nanometer grain structure, the influences of cold deformation and annealing parameters on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of 316L austenitic stainless steel were investigated. The samples were first cold-rolled, and then samples deformed to different extents were annealed at different temperatures. The microstructure evolutions were analyzed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), magnetic measurements, and X-ray diffraction (XRD); the mechanical properties are also determined by tensile tests. The results showed that the fraction of stain-induced martensite was approximately 72% in the 90% cold-rolled steel. The micro/nanometric microstructure was obtained after reversion annealing at 820-870℃ for 60 s. Nearly 100% reversed austenite was obtained in samples annealed at 850℃, where grains with a diameter ≤ 500 nm accounted for 30% and those with a diameter >0.5 μm accounted for 70%. The micro/nanometer-grain steel exhibited not only a high strength level (approximately 959 MPa) but also a desirable elongation of approximately 45%.     

Effect of hot-dip galvanizing processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 600-MPa hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steel

A C-Mn dual-phase steel was soaked at 800℃ for 90 s and then either rapidly cooled to 450℃ and held for 30 s (process A) or rapidly cooled to 350℃ and then reheated to 450℃ (process B) to simulate the hot-dip galvanizing process. The influence of the hot-dip galvanizing process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 600-MPa hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steel (DP600) was investigated using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and tensile tests. The results showed that, in the case of process A, the microstructure of DP600 was composed of ferrite, martensite, and a small amount of bainite. The granular bainite was formed in the hot-dip galvanizing stage, and martensite islands were formed in the final cooling stage after hot-dip galvanizing. By contrast, in the case of process B, the microstructure of the DP600 was composed of ferrite, martensite, bainite, and cementite. In addition, compared with the yield strength (YS) of the DP600 annealed by process A, that for the DP600 annealed by process B increased by approximately 50 MPa because of the tempering of the martensite formed during rapid cooling. The work-hardening coefficient (n value) of the DP600 steel annealed by process B clearly decreased because the increase of the YS affected the computation result for the n value. However, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation (A₈₀) of the DP600 annealed by process B exhibited less variation compared with those of the DP600 annealed by process A. Therefore, DP600 with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties (YS=362 MPa, UTS=638 MPa, A₈₀=24.3%, n=0.17) was obtained via process A.
