摘要
The amounts of rare earth in the solid solution in steel 16Mn were determined by means of inductive coupling plasma(ICP)spectroscopy.While the RE/S ratio was less than 1.9,the amounts of rare earth in solid solution were not more than 8 ppm,which rised slightly with the increase of the rare earth content in the steel.While the RE/S was more than 1.9,MnS disappeared completely in the steel and the amounts of rare earth in solid solution increased rapidly with the increasing of the rare earth content.The solubility of cerium in steel 16 Mn(St 52)is less than 0.011 wt% at room temperature.The results also indicate that rare earth in solid solution can reduce the amount of pearlite and increase that of ferrite and its mierohardness.The rela- tionship between microhardness(Hv)and the amount of rare earth in solid solution can be expressed by the equation of Hv=117+7 RE(ppm).
