With the increase in strain, the austenite goes through from the work-hardened to the partial dynamcally re-crystallized and then to the completed dynamically re-crystallized. The martensitic transformation characteristics depend on the austenite states. The work-hardening in small strain is helpful to martensitic transformation due to the low dislocation density and little lattice distortion, while the high dislocation density and severe lattice distortion by the increase in strain will hinder the martensitic nucleation. Once dynamic re-crystallization （ DRX ） takes place, the martensitic transformation will be enhanced again, which is related to the heterogeneous dynamic substructures. The growing DRX grain can enhance the martensitic nucleation due to the low dislocation density near its grain boundary.展开更多

The results showed that the second phase particles rich in chromium, manganese and silicon precipitate during aging, and thereby increase the hardness and strength of the alloy. The shape recovery ratio can be remarkably improved by aging and a maximum value can be obtained at 1223 K, which is 68% higher than that of the specimen in solid solution state. When the aging temperature is below 1223 K, the amount of second phase particles increases as the aging temperature increases. The size of austenite grain increases with increasing aging temperature. When the temperature is over 1223 K, the second phase particles can not precipitate. The lack of second phase particles and the increase of grain size make the hardness and shape recovery ratio drastically decrease, when the temperature is over 1223 K.展开更多

Under the condition without pre-deformation, the isothermal martensite products are lath martensite with {111}fhabit planes. Dislocations in austenite seem to contribute to nucleation of martensite, and in this nascent Stage austenite substructure has no obvious effect on martensite growth. The consequent thickening of martensite laths is apparently influenced by local austenite states, resulting in the changes in orientation, morphology as well as substructure of martensite lath. The kinetics of isothermal martensite transformation is controlled by intedece dislocation determined nucleation of martensite in primary stage, but to a larger extent, by the austenite accommodation for the shape strain of martensite in the thickening Stage展开更多

The results indicated that Fe-36Ni invar alloy exhibited poor hot ductility below 1 050℃, which was mainly attributed to weak grain boundaries and the action of grain boundary sliding. However, the alloys with cerium contents of 0. 016% and 0.024% both demonstrated substantial improvement in the hot ductility over the entire testing temperature range. The observed improvement of the hot ductility of the alloy with 0. 016% cerium at 950 ~C and the alloy with 0.024% cerium at 900℃ was associated mainly with the grain boundary strengthening and the restriction of the grain boundary sliding because the addition of cerium reduced the segregation of sulfur at grain boundaries and refined the grain structure. The occurrence and acceleration of dynamic recrystallization were found to be responsible for the high hot ductility of the alloy with 0.016% cerium at 1 000℃ and the alloy with 0. 024% cerium at 950 - 1 000℃ as a result of the refinement of the grain structure by addition of cerium.展开更多

The results show that great amounts of high-melting point compounds （ Ce2O3, La202S and （ Ce, La）2O2S ） respectively formed in the alloy with the addition of Ce, La or mischmetal. Based on the theory of lattice misfit, the lattice misfit between the （0001） surfaces of Ce2O3,Ce2O2S and La2O2S and （100） surface of Fe-36Ni invar alloy were 6.21%, 5.77 % and 5.42 %, respectively, which are relatively low. Therefore, Ce2 O3, La2 O2 S and （ Ce, La） 2 O2 S could serve as the core of heterogeneous nucleation, improve the equiaxed grain ratio, reduce the equiaxed grain size and refine the solidification structure of alloy.展开更多

The results showed that the solidification of the alloy was remarkably refined with the addition of 0.05%Ti-0.01%Ce refiners. Not only did the columnar grains become shorter and thinner, but the growth pattern of them changed into staggered growth from linear growth. The alloy had a bad hot ductility below 1050 °C, which was mainly attrib-uted to weaker boundaries and the presence of grain boundary sliding. However, the hot ductility of the alloy was highly enhanced at 850-1000 °C as the addition of 0.05%Ti-0.01%Ce refiners could refine grain sizes, thus hinder grain boundary sliding, strengthen the grain boundary and promote the grain boundary movement. The alloy had a good hot ductility over 1050 °C, dynamic recrys-tallization occurred and was found to be responsible for the better hot ductility. In addition, the average coefficient of thermal ex-pansion of the alloy decreased a little with the addition of 0.05%Ti-0.01%Ce refiners, which met the requirement of material prop-erties.展开更多
