The ε-Cu particles underwent a coarsening and part dissolution and then complete dissolution reaction as the peak temperature increased from 750 to 1 000℃, which resulted in the decrease in the number density of ε-Cu particles and hardness in the heat affected zone （HAZ）. The results can be used to understand the evolution of this transformation and a softening behavior of the HAZ during welding of this type of steel.展开更多

The results show that the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are obtained for the steel with carbon content of 0.03% -0. 05% （mass percent）. According to the results, a new weathering bridge steel plate with carbon content of 0. 045% （mass percent） has been developed. The appropriate controlled cooling process should be taken due to the results of CCT （continuous cooling transformation） and TTT （time-temperature-transformation） to ensure both microstructure and mechanical properties. CCT curve of the newly developed steel shows that when accelerated cooling speed is higher than 5 ℃/s, the intermediate transformation products can be formed. The TTT curve displays that the intermediate transformation temperature ranges from 600 to 530 ℃. Yield strength of the newly developed steels reaches 500 MPa, and their elongation and toughness are excellent.展开更多
