In uence of accelerated cooling on microstructure and mechanical properties of C –Mn steels X . Fang , Z . Fan, B. Ralph, P. Eva ns, a nd R. Underhill . . . . Two commercial steels, ba sed on 0 13C – 0 85Mn and 0 12C – 1 34Mn, were quenched from 900 C to temperatures between 288 and 484 C in a resist ance annealing simulator. Different cooling ra tes ra nging from 70 to 480 K s 1 were generated. The microstructures and mechanical properties of these two steels heat treated under different . . . . conditions were investigated. The maximum volume fra ctions of bainite in the 0 13C – 0 85Mn and 0 12C– 1 34Mn steels were about 25 and 60%, respectively. Further increase in the cooling rat e failed to increase the bainite volume fra ction, because some of ferrite was replaced by acicular ferrite with increase in cooling ra te. It was also found that 1 . . up to about 10% acicular ferrite wa s obtained in the 0 13C – 1 34Mn steel at a cooling ra te higher than 340 K s . . . . . The maximum yield strengths in the 0 13C– 0 85Mn and 0 12C – 1 34Mn steels were 480 and 520 M P a, respec- tively. The in uence of manganese on the microstructures of these two steels was also investigated.
