Precipitation behaviors of X80 acicular ferrite pipeline steel

The precipitation behaviors of X80 acicular ferrite pipeline steel were investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that dendritic precipitates in the as-cast steel slabs precipitate mainly in grain boundaries, and these dendritic precipitates dissolve and re-precipitate to two kinds of carbonitrides: Ti- and Nb-rich (Ti, Nb)(C, N) carbonitrides during reheating. Four types of precipitates mainly exist in the hot rolled plate: Ti-rich carbonitrides resulted from the dendritic carbonitrides undissolved during the reheating process; Ti-rich carbonitrides re-precipitated along austenite grain boundaries during the reheating process; NbC carbides mainly heterogeneously nucleated on the small pre-existing Nb-rich carbonitrides in the hot rolling process; and NbC carbides precipitated on dislocations during hot rolling.

Nb对低碳Si-Mn钢连续冷却转变的影响

利用Gleeble 1500对含Nb与不含Nb两种低碳Si-Mn钢进行了连续冷却转变实验,并绘制了未变形及变形条件下的CCT曲线.结果表明:在未变形条件下,Nb的添加降低了铁素体相变温度(Ar3),使未变形CCT曲线下移;在变形条件下,应变诱导析出的Nb(C,N)等析出物使铁素体的转变温度上升并降低了贝氏体的转变冷速,从而使Ar3提高,CCT曲线上移;在变形条件下,Nb使铁素体晶粒明显细化,进而使实验钢的硬度明显提高.

基于双亚点阵模型对H13钢中初生碳氮化物的研究

实验证明H13钢中存在三类初生碳氮化物,包括富V和C的(Vx,Mo1x)(Cy,N1-y)、富Ti和N的(Tix,V1x)(Cy,N1-y)及富V和C的(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y),部分存在形核核心.基于双亚点阵模型和凝固偏析模型分析计算H13钢凝固过程中元素含量变化,考虑初生碳氮化物中元素间的相互作用,根据三类碳氮化物中合金元素含量和C/N比值不同,对各碳氮化物的生成自由能进行分析.理论研究指出富Ti和N的(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)在固相率为0.90时即可生成,而富V和C的(Tix,V1-x)(Cx,N1-y)在固相率大于0.96才可生成,两类碳氮化物的临界生成固相率fP均随固溶Ti和N含量的增加而减小.(Vx,Mo1-x)(Cy,N1-y)的临界生成固相率与x值密切相关,x减小时fP降低,粒子尺寸增加,实验与理论分析吻合良好.根据错配度分析氧化物和碳氮化物对H13钢中初生碳氮化物异质形核的作用.     

Effect of long-term service on the precipitates in P92 steel

The precipitates in P92 steel after long-term service in an ultra-supercritical unit were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and were found to mainly consist of M₂₃C₆ carbides, Laves phase, and MX carbonitrides. No Z-phase was observed. M₂₃C₆ carbides and Laves phase were found not only on prior austenite grain boundaries, martensite lath boundaries, and subgrain boundaries but also in lath interiors, where two types of MX carbonitrides—Nb-rich and V-rich particles—were also observed but the “winged” complexes were hardly found. Each kind of precipitate within the martensite laths exhibited multifarious morphologies, suggesting that a morphological change of precipitates occurred during long-term service. The M₂₃C₆ carbides and Laves phase coarsened substantially, and the latter grew faster than the former. However, MX carbonitrides exhibited a relatively low coarsening rate. The effect of the evolution of the precipitate phases on the creep rupture strength of P92 steel was discussed.

铌钒钛与含钛高强钢的高温变形行为

在Gleeble 2000热模拟实验机及D450实验轧机上进行不同参数的单道次压缩及多道次淬火实验.研究表明,对铌钒钛高强钢,微合金元素铌、钒、钛的碳氮化物能有效抑制奥氏体的高温软化行为,经过6道次变形的奥氏体晶粒细化到8μm左右,其控轧工艺为未再结晶区的控制轧制.对含钛高强钢,微合金元素钛表现出相对较弱的抑制奥氏体再结晶效果,经过6道次变形后的奥氏体晶粒细化到11μm左右,其控轧工艺为再结晶区控制轧制.     

含Nb-Ti-Al的X100管线钢碳氮化物析出研究

基于双亚点阵模型,建立X100管线钢（Nbx,Ti1-x）（CyN1-y）-AlN复合析出热力学模型。热力学模型计算结果表明,1 450～1 100K时,Nb析出量显著增大;1 800～1 400K时,Ti析出速度加快,AlN的析出温度为1 450K左右。TEM观察及EDS分析结果显示,1 173K时,有大量细小（Nb,Ti）（C,N）的析出物产生,Nb与Ti的原子比大于4;1 373K时,Nb与Ti的原子比接近1;1 523K时,以较大长条形、方形析出物为主,Nb与Ti的原子比小于0.43。热力学模型计算结果与JMatpro软件计算结果及EDS统计结果有较好的一致性。     

锻造工艺对易切削非调质钢析出行为的影响

利用GLEEBLE 1500热模拟试验机、电子显微镜以及化学萃取相分析等手段,较详细地研究了易切削非调质钢35MnVS的析出方式及锻造工艺对其析出行为的影响,并与35VS钢作了对比。结果表明:35VS与35MnVS钢中既有一般析出又有相间析出,析出相主要为V(C,N)和(Ti,V)(C,N)。对35MnVS钢来说,锻造温度较高及冷却速度较慢者,析出相的数量增多,外延生长较充分,尺寸变大。降低终锻温度及冷却速度,使钒的析出量增多,而对钛的析出则影响不大。     

热轧态与回火态 AH80 DB 低碳贝氏体钢组织与冲击韧性

采用光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对热轧态和回火态AH80DB低碳贝氏体钢的显微组织、马氏体/奥氏体( M/A)岛、第二相的析出行为以及晶界取向差、有效晶粒尺寸进行研究,揭示回火后低碳贝氏体钢冲击韧性得到改善的原因.结果表明：两种试样的组织均由板条状贝氏体、粒状贝氏体和针状铁素体组成,其中回火态试样中针状铁素体组织较多.热轧态钢中存在较大尺寸M/A岛且呈方向性分布,大角度晶界比例占17.33%,有效晶粒尺寸为3.57μm;而回火态钢中M/A岛的尺寸较小,大角度晶界比例增加3.43%,有效晶粒尺寸减小0.56μm.热轧态钢中析出相主要是( Nb,Ti) C,尺寸在50~150 nm之间,回火态试样中析出较多细小的球状( Nb,Ti) C析出相,尺寸在10 nm左右.     

钛和钒对高锰钢高温热延性的影响

运用Gleeble-3500热力模拟试验机对700～1200℃温度范围内高锰钢Mn13单独加入钛(质量分数0.10％)、复合添加钛(质量分数0.11％)和钒(质量分数0.20％)后的高温热延性进行测试.采用扫描电镜和X射线能谱分析仪对不同温度下拉伸断裂后试样的断口形貌以及断口处的析出粒子进行了分析.温度-断面收缩率曲线表明在高锰钢中加入0.10％钛后,其断面收缩率出现了一定程度的下降,这表明钛的加入恶化了高锰钢的热延性;在此基础上加入0.20％钒,高锰钢的热延性出现了进一步的下降,即钛和钒的复合加入严重恶化了高锰钢的热延性.利用Thermo-Calc热力学计算软件对单独含钛以及复合含钛钒的高锰钢在700～1600℃存在的平衡析出相进行了计算,计算结果表明Ti(C,N)的平衡析出温度均约为1499℃,远大于其液相线温度,这说明Ti(C,N)在高锰钢的液相中就可以开始析出.扫描电镜-能谱分析结果表明在奥氏体晶界以及三叉晶界处存在大量的Ti(C,N)和(Ti,V)C粒子,这些粒子的出现抑制了动态再结晶的发生,并且加速了晶界附近裂纹的扩展.

Development of gas tungsten arc welding using current pulsing technique to preclude chromium carbide precipitation in aerospace-grade alloy 80A

Weldments were produced using gas tungsten arc welding(GTAW) and pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding(PCGTAW) techniques with ERNiCr-3 filler wire. Macro examination revealed that the resultant weldments were free from defects. A refined microstructure was observed in the weldment fabricated through PCGTAW. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis revealed secondary phases in the grain boundaries. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) analysis revealed that microsegregation of Cr carbide precipitates was completely eradicated through PCGTAW. The microsegregation of Nb precipitates was observed in the GTA and PCGTA weldments. X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis revealed the existence of M_(23)C?_6 Cr-rich carbide and Ni_8Nb phases in the GTA weldments. By contrast, in the PCGTA weldments, the Ni_8Nb phase was observed. The Cr_2Ti phase was observed in both the GTA and the PCGTA weldments. Tensile tests showed that the strength and ductility of the PCGTA weldments were slightly higher than those of the GTA weldments.     

Dependence of mechanical behavior on grain size of metastable Ti–Nb–O titanium alloy

Cold-rolled metastable β-type Ti–38Nb-0.2O alloy was subjected to annealing treatment to obtain different precipitates and grain sizes. The influence of annealing on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. The alloy annealed at 673 ?K or 773 ?K exhibited a single-stage yielding with high strength and low uniform elongation, due to the residual work hardening and the precipitation of ω or α phases. The alloy annealed at above 873 ?K exhibited an obvious double yielding behavior resulting from the stress-induced martensitic transformation. The grain growth kinetics of single β phase alloy is sensitive to temperature, and it is suggested that the existence of oxygen decreases the grain growth exponent and increases the required activation energy for grain growth. The critical stress for slip decreased monotonously with the increase of grain size, following the classic Hall-Petch relationship. However, the critical stress for martensitic transformation decreased to a minimum and then increased again, as the grain size increased. The results are worth for design of the heat-treatment parameters of the Ti–38Nb-0.2O alloy for engineering applications.

高温时H13钢中初生碳氮化物的分解研究

利用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和电子探针研究了H13钢中初生碳氮化物高温分解时的形貌、尺寸、成分变化规律.原始初生碳氮化物主要为10~30μm的长条状(Vx,Mo1-x)(Cy,N1-y)及少量方形的(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).在1200℃保温2.5 h后碳氮化物边缘变为凹凸不平的锯齿状,然后形成细小的分解颗粒,10 h后碳氮化物平均长度减小为12.9μm,主要为(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).当经过1250℃ ×5 h保温后87%的碳氮化物发生分解,(Vx,Mo1-x)(Cy,N1-y)溶解消失,碳氮化物长度在20μm以下,当保温时间延长到10 h后碳氮化物长度均在10μm以下,70%为方形并且93%分解形成细小颗粒,未分解的碳氮化物为(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y).电子探针分析(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)的分解与Fe元素扩散有关,高温时Fe在(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)中含量逐渐增加而Ti、V减少,优先在边部曲率半径较小部位或缺陷处分解,形成0.1~1μm的细小分解颗粒,并由外向内以区域溶解方式使原始碳氮化物逐渐消失.双亚点阵模型分析两种碳氮化物的平衡溶解温度和组成有关,试样中大部分(Tix,V1-x)(Cy,N1-y)平衡溶解温度在1200~1246℃之间,与实验吻合较好.
