低合金高强钢相变行为及两相区热处理工艺的研究-材料科学与工程专业论文.pdf.docx

ABSTRACTIn the recent years, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels have been widely developed to protect environment, reduce structure weight and cut the cost. 1.15Ni-0.65Cu-Mo-Nb steel is a Ni-Mo-Cu HSLA steel. However, relatively higher yield tensile ratio and lower toughness are the disadvantages of this steel. Therefore, the development of microstructures and phase transformation behaviors during both continuous cooling and isothermal transformation processes were systematically studied in HSLA steel by means of thermal simulation testing machine, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and mechanical properties testing. Based on it, we brought forward different intercritical heat treatments in order to improve the mechanical properties of HSLA steel. The primary conclusions were obtained as follows:The variation of microstructures and transformation behaviors of the present steel in continuous cooling were investigated. At the cooling rates of 0.1~1.5°C/s, themicrostructure varied as ferrite/mixture (pearlite and lower bainite)→ferrite/lowerbainite→ferrite/acicular ferrite, and their banded structures were distinct. At 3°C/s, the homogeneous morphology of acicular ferrite was formed. At 4~50°C/s, the specimens showed a mixture of AF and martensite in both segregated bands. At 100°C/s, the homogeneous morphology of martensite was formed.The development of microstructures and transformation behaviors of the present steel in isothermal transformation process were investigated. At the isothermal temperatures of 700~620°C, the banded microstructures consisted of polygonal ferrite and martensite. At 620~470°C, the banded microstructures consisted acicular ferrite and martensite. When the isothermal temperature was below 470°C, the microstructure contained wholly acicular ferrite.The effect of different intercritical quenching and intercritical normalizing treatmen
