摘要
Two types of steel, C-Mn-CrMo B microalloyed steel and C-Mn-Mo-Nb-Cu-B microalloyed steel, are designed to develop 1000 MPa ultra high strength steel. Two kinds of processes, thermomeehanical controlled process （TMCP） combined with traditional off-line quenching and tempering （QT） process versus controlled rolling process （CR） combined with direct quenching and tempering （DQ＋T） process, are applied. The effect of heat treatment processing mode on the microstructure and mechanical properties is studied. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties is investigated by SEM and TEM. After tempering at 450 to 550 ℃ for 1 h, the steel produced by TMCP＋QT process shows combination of excellent strength and low temperature toughness. The yield strength is above 1 000 MPa, elongation above 15% and impact energy at -40 ℃ more than 30 J. After tempering at 450 ℃, a large number of ε-Cu particles precipitated in C-Mn-Mo-Nb-Cu-B steel produced by CR＋DQ＋T process lead to a significant increase in yield strength. And after tempering at 500 to 600 ℃, the yield strength of the steel is further improved to 1 030 MPa because of precipitates, such as nitride or carbide of niobium, carbide of molybedenum and vanadium. When the tempering temperature is increased above 620 ℃, the yield strength is still higher than 1 000 MPa and elongation is above 20% and impact energy at --40 ℃ is more than 35 J. After tempering at above 500 ℃, the toughness of the steel treated by TMCP＋QT process is superior to that of steel by CR＋DQ＋T process.
