Graphitization of Spray-formed Ultrahigh Carbon Steels Containing Si during Hot Rolling

The graphitization behavior of ultrahigh carbon steels containing Si in hot rolling processes was investigated. The graphite stringers went mostly through the small pores and generally paralleled to the rolling direction. The influence of alloy elements on graphitization was estimated based on thermodynamics, which showed that Si content was important for graphitization. Graphite stringers nucleated at small pores and grew with carbon diffusion during hot rolling. Alloy contents, pores and hot deformation at γ+Fe3C phase range were the key factors for the formation of graphite. The probable effect of deformation on graphite formation during hot rolling was discussed in this paper.     

Hot-rolled and continuously cooled bainitic steel with good strength–elongation combination

The current work demonstrates the microstructural evolution and mechanical property evaluation of a newly designed steel composition after hot rolling in laboratory-scale rolling mill, followed by continuous cooling. The steel thus developed has typically about 80% carbide-free bainite; about 20% retained austenite and can deliver ～1400?MPa ultimate tensile strength along with more than 20% total elongation. The presence of ultra-fine bainite plates (～100–130?nm thick) with high dislocation density was thought to be responsible for ultra-high strength. Excellent ductility at such strength level could be due to the presence of sufficient amount of retained austenite (～20%) thermally stable at room temperature but starts transforming to martensite during deformation exhibiting transformation-induced plasticity effect.

Some new results in thermomechanical processing of microalloyed steels

In recent times, efforts have been directed towards a better understanding of the mechanisms associated with deformation and restoration of austenite during continuous multipass hot rolling of microalloyed steels. The correspondence between the condition of austenite before transformation and the resultant microstructure upon cooling holds the key to the attainment of interesting properties. In the present paper, some results obtained on the deformation of austenite in a microalloyed steel, using a hot compression machine, are presented. Here, the idea was to simulate actual plate rolling or hot strip rolling conditions and study the evolution of microstructure at different stages of the hot deformation process i.e. after precise reductions at given strain rate and temperature of deformation. The paper further discusses recent results obtained by us on the influence of hot deformation parameters (strain, finish rolling temperature, temperature of deformation) and cooling rates (air cooling, spray water cooling) on the microstructure of microalloyed steel. The precise conditions leading to the evolution of acicular ferrite and bainitic microstructures have been identified. New information on the influence of short tempering treatments (15 min at 550, 600 and 650°C) on the microstructure and properties of a microalloyed steel are also outlined.

Recent progress in medium-Mn steels made with new designing strategies,a review

After summarizing the relevant researches on the medium Mn steels in references, two new targets on the tensile properties have been defined. One is that both transformation-induced(TRIP) and twinninginduced plasticity(TWIP) could be realized for the steel with a relatively low Mn content, which exhibits the similar tensile properties to the classical TWIP steels with higher Mn content. The other is to achieve ultrahigh ultimate tensile strength(1.5 GPa) without sacrificing formability. To achieve these goals,new designing strategies was put forward for compositions and the processing route. In particular, warm rolling was employed instead of the usual hot/cold rolling process because the former can produce a mixture of retained austenite grains with different morphologies and sizes via the partial recrystallization. Consequently, the retained austenite grains have a wide range of mechanic stability so that they can transform to martensite gradually during deformation, leading to enhanced TRIP effect and then improved mechanic properties. Finally, it is succeeded in manufacturing these targeted medium Mn steels in laboratory, some of them even exhibit better tensile properties than our expectation.     

Application of the Metallurgically Oriented Simulation System “TKS‐StripCam” to Predict the Properties of Hot Strip Steels from the Rolling Conditions

Basis for all colculations of steel properties using metallurgical modelling is the fact that the mechanical properties are determined unambiguously by the microstructure and the chemical composition of the hot strip. Therefore it is the task of metallurgical modelling to describe the metallurgical processes which are involved in the evolution of microstructure during the rolling and cooling of hot strip as precise as possible. From the calculated microstructural parameters of the finished product in final algorithms the mechanical properties are predicted. For the production of hot strip in a hot rolling mill at TKS such a simulation system has been developed and named TKS‐StripCam. It is based mainly on semi‐physical models adapted to results from laboratory measurements. Using production parameters such as rolling schedule or as cooling conditions as well as the chemical composition as input parameters TKS‐StripCam allows one to the calculate the microstructure and to derive from this e.g. yield strength, tensile strength, elongation to fracture with sufficient precision. The principles of TKS‐StripCam will be presented. Some applications of this metallurgical simulation system with offline use in the office and online use in a hot rolling mill will be demonstrated.

Characterization of transformed and deformed microstructures in transformation induced plasticity steels using electron backscattering diffraction

The microstructure of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels was characterized by means of electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique to identify and quantify their different microstructures such as ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite. Further, the strain distribution in ferrite and retained austenite was analyzed during deformation. The TRIP steels were annealed by austempering for different durations to investigate the effect of the austempering time on the volume fraction change of the microstructural constituents. The quantitative analysis by EBSD coupled with an image contrast analysis revealed that the amount of retained austenite decreased and the amount of bainite increased with increasing austempering time. The mechanical properties of the TRIP steels were also affected by the austempering time. The maximum elongation was obtained in the sample austempered for 5 min, probably because of the good stability of retained austenite. The strain distribution in bcc and fcc phases during tensile deformation was characterized by evaluating the changes in the average local misorientation of the phases.
