Generally, some defects such as large size cracks exist due to insufficient deformation in the center of traditionally rolled plates. Compared with the traditional rolling process, gradient temperature rolling(GTR) process can effectively increase deformation inside heavy plates. In this study, the effect of GTR on crack healing was analyzed through a comparison experiment with the uniform temperature rolling(UTR). The results show that the GTR process could increase the plastic strain inside the heavy plate and effectively promote the healing process of the preset cracks. The degrees of crack healing at the center and quarter thickness position of the steel plate via GTR were greater than twice those of the plate via UTR. The GTR process can significantly reduce the internal defects of heavy plates and improve the defect detection level of heavy plate products. Also, The GTR process results in the formation of new crystal grains in the crack region, which is crucial to crack healing.展开更多

The result shows that Y, Ce, and Gd addition in Mg-1.5Zn alloys can effectively weaken and modify the basal plane texture, characterized by TD-split texture in which the position of basal is titled from normal direction （ND） toward transverse direction （TD）. When Mg-1.5Zn alloy with Gd addition appears low texture intensity and TD-split texture, where the position of basal poles is tilted by about 4-35° from ND toward to TD, the largest Erichsen value of 7.0 and the elongation rate reaches 29.1% in TD direction. However, Y and Ce addition in Mg-1.5Zn alloys promote a large number of second phase particles, which cancel the contribution of the unique basal texture to stretch formability and ductility.展开更多

When the tempering temperature exceeded 500℃, the corrosion rate increased. The corrosion layers consisted of Cr-rich compounds, which affected the corrosion behaviors of the steels immersed in the corrosive solution. The results of electrochemical experiments demonstrated that 5 wt%Cr steels with different microstructures exhibited pre-passivation characteristics that decreased their corrosion rate. Analysis by electron back-scattered diffraction showed that the frequency of high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs) and the corrosion rate were well-correlated in specimens tempered at different temperatures. The corrosion rate increased with increasing HAGB frequency.展开更多

The tensile stress distribution, the transverse compressive stress, and the critical buckling stress of the strip were studied by the finite element method （FEM） when the flat roller, crown roller, single taper roller, and double taper roller were used, respectively. Simulation results show that strip buckling is most likely to occur with the crown roller, then the double taper roller, and finally the single taper roller. Also, strip buckling can not occur when the flat roller is used. Considering strip snaking, the single taper roller and double taper roller are suggested in the continuous annealing fur-nace. The double taper roller with a better strip snaking-prevention ability should be applied in the sections with high strip temperature, and the single taper roller with a better buckling-prevention ability should be used in the sections with low strip temperature.展开更多

The results show that, with the decrease of finishing rolling temperature, inter-lamellar spacing in- creases, the strength as well as hardness has a general increase, and secondary cementite is distributed uniformly but represents a remarkable decrease in size. Based on Hall-Petch type equation, an effective relationship of yield strength and pearlite structure parameters was established. The correlation coefficients between the measured and calculated strength were more than 0.95, which indicated a high reliability of the relationship. By analyzing the individual strength contributions of pearlite structures, yield strength was found to have a more great dependence on pearlite inter-lamellar spacing than colony size.展开更多

Corrosion rate was measured, and the microstructure and morphology of corrosion product film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The phase and chemical composition of the corrosion product film were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, respectively. The effect of misorientation distribution on corro- sion resistance of steel was evaluated by electron backscattered diffraction （EBSD）. The results showed that corro- sion rate decreased with increasing chromium content in the low-alloy steel, and the corrosion type was general corrosion. The phenomenon of chromium enrichment was found in corrosion product film consisting of a-FeOOH, γ- FeOOH, sulphur, FeS2 and Fel-xS. The increase of chromium content decreases the amount of high-angle grain boundaries, thus resulting in the improvement of corrosion resistance.展开更多

The microstrueture, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the four kinds of P110 grade tube steels were studied deeply and thoroughly. The analysis of the mechanical properties indicated that tensile strength and yield strength of the steel plates were improved, while transverse and longitudinal impact energy and elongation first increased and then decreased when Cr content rose. The impact energy and elonga tion reached the peak when Cr content was 1 ~. Cr precipitates were found only in 3 ~ Cr steel, with （Nb, Ti）（C, N） or Nb（C,N） as the core of precipitation and then grew up. The corrosion experiments demonstrated that the scales on the four steels had a two layer structure under the corrosion of CO2 and H2 S. The outer layer was mainly com- posed of FeS or FeS1 x and the inner layer consisted of FeCOa and Cr compounds. Cr was rich in the inner layer and the Cr content of the inner layer increased with the Cr content in matrix. The enriched Cr enhanced the compactness of the scales, further hindering the diffusion of ions from liquid to the surface of steel, thus reducing corrosion rate.展开更多

The corrosion behavior of inclusion was studied by in-situ scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that pitting corrosion was inclined to occur around the place where inclusions exist. After initial corrosion, an area of 10-20μm in diameter was formed as a cireinate cathode around the edge of inclusion. MnS inclusion dissolved in the simulated COT corrosion solution before low-alloy steel matrix, and pitting was formed at the place where MnS dissolved. TiO2 inclusion dissolved in the simulated COT corrosion solution after low alloy steel matrix, and pitting was formed at the place where steel matrix dissolved. The corrosion tended to occur at the area where the curvature radius of inclusion is smaller. The size of round TiO2 inclusions had little influence on corrosion behavior in this certain environment.展开更多

The result reveals that comparing to the flat roller, forward roller contour can prevent the strip deviation to some degree. In terms of prevention ability, double- taper roller is the strongest, single-taper roller and crown roller are less stronger; and more roller contour values raise the prevention ability. Accordingly, optimization method was applied to continuous annealing furnace, and it largely reduced accidents such as strip break and limited speed that are caused by the deviation.展开更多

As the mi- crostructure and texture evolution in hot-rolled strips and annealed sheets were investigated using SEM, TEM and XRD technologies, the attribution of solute Mo and MoC particles to DP sheets＇ drawing capacity was investigated. The precipitation thermodynamics were also calculated by Thermo-calc software. Results show that the precipitates in hot-rolled strips mainly are MoC, AIN and MnS, and with the increase of Mo addition, finer and denser MoC par- ticles precipitated in matrix and along grain boundaries of ferrite more easily. Weak textures are shown in the hot- rolled strips, and {112}~110~ and {223}%110~ components tend to be stable in subsequent cold rolling process. During annealing, on one hand, the development of ~lll~//ND texture is suppressed because finer MoC particles prevent the grain boundary migration. On the other hand, unfavorable texture {001 } %110：〉 significantly reduces with Mo increasing, which is attributed to that part of solution C in matrix has been fixed during recrystallization. In addition, the addition of Mo can enhance hardenability strongly and MoC easily re-dissolve at high temperature, which is favor to form martensite in dual-phase steel.展开更多

The results showed that, with the decrease in deformation temperature and increase in strain rate, the fragmented retained austenite in finer and distributed more uniformly in the ferrite matrix as a result of the inhibited recovery. The recorded flow stress suggested that the stress level decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Based on the classical stress-dislocation relation, the constitutive equations of flow stress determined by work-hardening and softening mechanisms were estab- lished. A comparison between the experimental and calculated values confirmed the reliability of the model, and the predictability of the model was also quantified in terms of correlation coefficients and average absolute relative errors, which were found generally above 0.99 and below 2.50%, respectively. In the whole range of strain rate, the activation energy is 419.84 kJ/mol. By further identification based on Sch6ck＇s model and Kocks-Argon-Ashby model, the rate- controlling mechanism is found to be dislocation cross-slip.展开更多

The results show that there are two kinds of hot rolled microstructures at different coiling temperatures. One is composed of coarse grains of ferrite, pearlite and bainite, and the other is composed of small grains of ferrite, bainite and austen- ite, After annealing, the first kind of hot rolled microstructure is greatly refined, and volume fraction, and carbon content of austenite increase significantly. However, it has little changes in grain size, volume fraction and carbon content of austenite after the second kind of hot roiled sheet is annealed. There are also differences in distribution of retained austenite between the two annealed microstructures observed by EBSD and TEM technology. Retained aus- tenite in the first annealed microstructure is distributed mainly on the inside of the polygonal ferrite in the form of spot, only little retained austenite is located on bainte ferrite boundary, however retained austenite in the second an- nealing microstructure is located in several places, such as inside of polygonal ferrite, polygonal ferrite boundary, and bainte ferrite boundary.展开更多

The results showed that, when Hollomon relation was applied to descrihe the flow stress, there were significanl errors between the experimental and calculated points in specimens tempered below 400 ℃, while a high precision was ohserved in samples tempered above 400℃. Whereas, the modijied Voce relation could effectively predici the flow stress as well as the strain hardening exponent at different tempe ring temperatures, which was verified by unbiased estimators such as maximum relative error （MRXE） and average ahsolute relative error （AARE）. Besides, the modified Voee relation was also applied to estimate the maximum uniform strain, and the correlation coefficients （R） between the experimental data and calculated maximum uniform strain were more than 0.91. The high correlation coefficients indicated that the modified Vote relation could effec lively predict the uniform deformation ability of high strength steels with low carbon bainite structure at different tempering temperatures.展开更多
文摘To ensure the quality of heavy plate products as determined by ultrasonic inspection, it is necessary to effectively control defects such as cracks and shrinkage cavities in heavy plates. Generally, some defects such as large size cracks exist due to insufficient deformation in the center of traditionally rolled plates. Compared with the traditional rolling process, gradient temperature rolling(GTR) process can effectively increase deformation inside heavy plates. In this study, the effect of GTR on crack healing was analyzed through a comparison experiment with the uniform temperature rolling(UTR). The results show that the GTR process could increase the plastic strain inside the heavy plate and effectively promote the healing process of the preset cracks. The degrees of crack healing at the center and quarter thickness position of the steel plate via GTR were greater than twice those of the plate via UTR. The GTR process can significantly reduce the internal defects of heavy plates and improve the defect detection level of heavy plate products. Also, The GTR process results in the formation of new crystal grains in the crack region, which is crucial to crack healing.

文摘To develop a new magnesium alloy with excellent formability at room temperature, the effect of Y, Ce, and Gd addition on texture and stretch formability of Mg-1.5Zn alloys was carried out. The result shows that Y, Ce, and Gd addition in Mg-1.5Zn alloys can effectively weaken and modify the basal plane texture, characterized by TD-split texture in which the position of basal is titled from normal direction （ND） toward transverse direction （TD）. When Mg-1.5Zn alloy with Gd addition appears low texture intensity and TD-split texture, where the position of basal poles is tilted by about 4-35° from ND toward to TD, the largest Erichsen value of 7.0 and the elongation rate reaches 29.1% in TD direction. However, Y and Ce addition in Mg-1.5Zn alloys promote a large number of second phase particles, which cancel the contribution of the unique basal texture to stretch formability and ductility.

文摘The corrosion behavior of 5 wt%Cr steel tempered at different temperatures was investigated by immersion testing and electrochemical testing in a CO_2 aqueous environment. When the tempering temperature exceeded 500℃, the corrosion rate increased. The corrosion layers consisted of Cr-rich compounds, which affected the corrosion behaviors of the steels immersed in the corrosive solution. The results of electrochemical experiments demonstrated that 5 wt%Cr steels with different microstructures exhibited pre-passivation characteristics that decreased their corrosion rate. Analysis by electron back-scattered diffraction showed that the frequency of high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs) and the corrosion rate were well-correlated in specimens tempered at different temperatures.

文摘The effect of roller shapes on strip buckling in a continuous annealing furnace was focused on. The tensile stress distribution, the transverse compressive stress, and the critical buckling stress of the strip were studied by the finite element method （FEM） when the flat roller, crown roller, single taper roller, and double taper roller were used, respectively. Simulation results show that strip buckling is most likely to occur with the crown roller, then the double taper roller, and finally the single taper roller. Also, strip buckling can not occur when the flat roller is used. Considering strip snaking, the single taper roller and double taper roller are suggested in the continuous annealing fur-nace. The double taper roller with a better strip snaking-prevention ability should be applied in the sections with high strip temperature, and the single taper roller with a better buckling-prevention ability should be used in the sections with low strip temperature.

文摘As international maritime organization （IMO） draft 289 was adopted to develop a low-alloy anti-corrosion steel for the deck of cargo oil tank and to understand corrosion mechanism, corrosion behavior of a low-alloy steel with chromium contents was studied in O2-CO2-SO2-H2 S wet gas environment.

The effect of misorientation distribution on corro- sion resistance of steel was evaluated by electron backscattered diffraction （EBSD）. The results showed that corro- sion rate decreased with increasing chromium content in the low-alloy steel, and the corrosion type was general corrosion. The phenomenon of chromium enrichment was found in corrosion product film consisting of a-FeOOH, γ- FeOOH, sulphur, FeS2 and Fel-xS. The increase of chromium content decreases the amount of high-angle grain boundaries, thus resulting in the improvement of corrosion resistance.

文摘Four kinds of P110 grade tube steels containing different chromium contents were designed to probe the in- fluence of Cr on the properties of tube steel. The microstrueture, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the four kinds of P110 grade tube steels were studied deeply and thoroughly. The analysis of the mechanical properties indicated that tensile strength and yield strength of the steel plates were improved, while transverse and longitudinal impact energy and elongation first increased and then decreased when Cr content rose. The impact energy and elonga tion reached the peak when Cr content was 1 ~. Cr precipitates were found only in 3 ~ Cr steel, with （Nb, Ti）（C, N） or Nb（C,N） as the core of precipitation and then grew up. The corrosion experiments demonstrated that the scales on the four steels had a two layer structure under the corrosion of CO2 and H2 S. The outer layer was mainly com- posed of FeS or FeS1 x and the inner layer consisted of FeCOa and Cr compounds. Cr was rich in the inner layer and the Cr content of the inner layer increased with the Cr content in matrix. The enriched Cr enhanced the compactness of the scales, further hindering the diffusion of ions from liquid to the surface of steel, thus reducing corrosion rate.

文摘Corrosion behavior of low-alloy steel was investigated in simulated cargo oil tank （COT） bottom plate service environment （10% NaCl solution, pH = 0.85）. The corrosion behavior of inclusion was studied by in-situ scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that pitting corrosion was inclined to occur around the place where inclusions exist. After initial corrosion, an area of 10-20μm in diameter was formed as a cireinate cathode around the edge of inclusion. MnS inclusion dissolved in the simulated COT corrosion solution before low-alloy steel matrix, and pitting was formed at the place where MnS dissolved. TiO2 inclusion dissolved in the simulated COT corrosion solution after low alloy steel matrix, and pitting was formed at the place where steel matrix dissolved. The corrosion tended to occur at the area where the curvature radius of inclusion is smaller. The size of round TiO2 inclusions had little influence on corrosion behavior in this certain environment.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of Fe-26Mn-6.2A1-0.05C steel was studied by experimental hot compression tests in the temperature range of 800-1050℃ and strain rate range of 0.01-30 s-1 on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine.The microstructural evolution during the corresponding thermal process was observed in situ by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses were carried out to observe the microstructural morphology before and after the hot deformation.Furthermore,interrupted compression tests were conducted to correlate the microstructural characteristics and softening mechanisms at different deformation stages.The results showed that hot compression tests of this steel were all carried out on a duplex matrix composed of austenite and fi-ferrite.As the deformation temperature increased from 800 to 1050℃,the volume fraction of austenite decreased from 70.9% to 44.0%,while that of 6-ferrite increased from 29.1% to 56.0%.Due to the different stress exponents（n）and apparent activation energies（Q）,the generated strain was mostly accommodated by δ-ferrite at the commencement of deformation,and then both dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization occurred earlier in δ-ferrite than in austenite.This interaction of strain partitioning and unsynchronized softening behavior caused an abnormal hot deformation behavior profile in the Fe-Mn-A1 duplex steel,such as yield-like behavior,peculiar work-hardening behavior,and dynamic softening behavior,which are influenced by not only temperature and strain rate but also by microstructural evolution.

文摘In order to reduce the strip deviation in the practical production procedure in the continuous annealing fur- nace, a dynamic simulation model was built through finite element method （FEM） to conduct the quantification cal- culation of the effect of regular roller contour types on strip deviation. The result reveals that comparing to the flat roller, forward roller contour can prevent the strip deviation to some degree. In terms of prevention ability, double- taper roller is the strongest, single-taper roller and crown roller are less stronger; and more roller contour values raise the prevention ability. Accordingly, optimization method was applied to continuous annealing furnace, and it largely reduced accidents such as strip break and limited speed that are caused by the deviation.

文摘Low-carbon Cr-Mo micro-alloyed deep drawing dual-phase steels were designed in laboratory. As the mi- crostructure and texture evolution in hot-rolled strips and annealed sheets were investigated using SEM, TEM and XRD technologies, the attribution of solute Mo and MoC particles to DP sheets＇ drawing capacity was investigated. The precipitation thermodynamics were also calculated by Thermo-calc software. Results show that the precipitates in hot-rolled strips mainly are MoC, AIN and MnS, and with the increase of Mo addition, finer and denser MoC par- ticles precipitated in matrix and along grain boundaries of ferrite more easily. Weak textures are shown in the hot- rolled strips, and {112}~110~ and {223}%110~ components tend to be stable in subsequent cold rolling process. During annealing, on one hand, the development of ~lll~//ND texture is suppressed because finer MoC particles prevent the grain boundary migration. On the other hand, unfavorable texture {001 } %110：〉 significantly reduces with Mo increasing, which is attributed to that part of solution C in matrix has been fixed during recrystallization. In addition, the addition of Mo can enhance hardenability strongly and MoC easily re-dissolve at high temperature, which is favor to form martensite in dual-phase steel.

文摘The compressive deformation behavior of 95CrMo hypereutectic steel was studied at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1050 ℃ and strain rates from 0.1 to 3 s-1 on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-simulation machine. The results showed that, with the decrease in deformation temperature and increase in strain rate, the fragmented retained austenite in finer and distributed more uniformly in the ferrite matrix as a result of the inhibited recovery. The recorded flow stress suggested that the stress level decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Based on the classical stress-dislocation relation, the constitutive equations of flow stress determined by work-hardening and softening mechanisms were estab- lished. A comparison between the experimental and calculated values confirmed the reliability of the model, and the predictability of the model was also quantified in terms of correlation coefficients and average absolute relative errors, which were found generally above 0.99 and below 2.50%, respectively. In the whole range of strain rate, the activation energy is 419.84 kJ/mol. By further identification based on Sch6ck＇s model and Kocks-Argon-Ashby model, the rate- controlling mechanism is found to be dislocation cross-slip.
文摘To study the effect of tempering temperature on strain hardening exponent and flow stress curve,one kind of 1000 MPa grade low carbon bainitic steel for construction machinery was designed,and the standard uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at room temperature.A new flow stress model,which could predict the flow behavior of the tested steels at different tempering temperatures more efficiently,was established.The relationship between mobile dislocation density and strain hardening exponent was discussed based on the dislocation-stress relation.Arrhenius equation and an inverse proportional function were adopted to describe the mobile dislocation,and two mathematical models were established to describe the relationship between tempering temperature and strain hardening exponent.Nonlinear regression analysis was applied to the Arrhenius type model,hence,the activation energy was determined to be 37.6kJ/mol.Moreover,the square of correlation coefficient was 0.985,which indicated a high reliability between the fitted curve and experimental data.By comparison with the Arrhenius type curve,the general trend of the inverse proportional fitting curve was coincided with the experimental data points except of some fitting errors.Thus,the Arrhenius type model can be adopted to predict the strain hardening exponent at different tempering temperatures.

文摘The influence of hot rolled process on microstructure in TRIP （transformation induced plasticity） steel and the heredity characteristic from the hot rolled microstructure to annealed microstructure are investigated. The results show that there are two kinds of hot rolled microstructures at different coiling temperatures. One is composed of coarse grains of ferrite, pearlite and bainite, and the other is composed of small grains of ferrite, bainite and austen- ite, After annealing, the first kind of hot rolled microstructure is greatly refined, and volume fraction, and carbon content of austenite increase significantly. However, it has little changes in grain size, volume fraction and carbon content of austenite after the second kind of hot roiled sheet is annealed. There are also differences in distribution of retained austenite between the two annealed microstructures observed by EBSD and TEM technology. Retained aus- tenite in the first annealed microstructure is distributed mainly on the inside of the polygonal ferrite in the form of spot, only little retained austenite is located on bainte ferrite boundary, however retained austenite in the second an- nealing microstructure is located in several places, such as inside of polygonal ferrite, polygonal ferrite boundary, and bainte ferrite boundary.

文摘Two kinds of steels （YP960 and YP690） with low carbon bainite structure were designed, and their flow stress and strain hardening exponents were studied. The results showed that, when Hollomon relation was applied to descrihe the flow stress, there were significanl errors between the experimental and calculated points in specimens tempered below 400 ℃, while a high precision was ohserved in samples tempered above 400℃. Whereas, the modijied Voce relation could effectively predici the flow stress as well as the strain hardening exponent at different tempe ring temperatures, which was verified by unbiased estimators such as maximum relative error （MRXE） and average ahsolute relative error （AARE）. Besides, the modified Voee relation was also applied to estimate the maximum uniform strain, and the correlation coefficients （R） between the experimental data and calculated maximum uniform strain were more than 0.91. The high correlation coefficients indicated that the modified Vote relation could effec lively predict the uniform deformation ability of high strength steels with low carbon bainite structure at different tempering temperatures.
