2.25Cr1Mo合金高温低塑性的非平衡偏聚机理研究

Mechanism Study on Hot Ductility of 2.25Cr1Mo Alloy Based on Non-Equilibrium Grain-Boundary Segregation

以2.25Cr1Mo合金为研究对象,利用Gleeble热模拟试验机和Auger能谱仪(AES),研究了合金的高温低塑性发生机理。结果表明,合金高温低塑性发生在850℃附近,且塑性极小值对应着晶界杂质S偏聚浓度极大值。利用杂质S的非平衡晶界偏聚特征,解释了2.25Cr1Mo合金高温低塑性现象。

Almost all ductile metals and alloys have a ductility minimum in the intermediate temperature range at about from 0.5 to 0.8 melt point, with an intergranular fracture mode I （intermediate temperature brittleness, ITB, or intermediate temperature ductility minimum, ITDM）. That was found in Ni-based alloys, Fe-based alloys, Co-based alloys, Ti-based alloys, intermetallic compounds and AI-Mg alloys. One of the problems specific to the continuous casting of steels is transverse cracking, which is induced by the ITB of steel, called as hot ductility. The mechanisms suggested are mostly related to the especial properties such as ferrite mechanism for steels and precipitates mechanism at grain-boundaries. It is clear that the ferrite mechanism cannot clarify the ITB of austenitic steels and the precipitates mechanism cannot clarify that of metals and alloys which have no precipitates at grain-boundaries. In this work, based on the prior works for single-phase and phase transition alloys, the mechanism of hot-ductility for 2.25Cr1Mo alloy was analyzed by using Gleeble machine and Auger spectroscopy （AES）. The results show the ductility minimum near 850 ℃ corresponds to the maximum concentration of the impurity sulfur at grain boundaries. And the hot ductility of 2.25Cr1Mo alloy can be explained reasonably by non-equilibrium grain-boundary segregation of sulfur.
