Si元素对800 MPa级HSLA钢焊材熔敷金属组织及韧性的影响

采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)等试验,分析了不同Si元素含量(质量分数,%)对800 MPa级低合金高强(HSLA)钢焊材熔敷金属组织特征及韧性的影响.结果表明,当Si元素含量从0.45%增加到0.66%时,熔敷金属(0.035C-0.45Si-1.47Mn-2.56Ni-0.68Cr-0.62Mo)的屈服强度从850 MPa增大到895 MPa,抗拉强度从917 MPa增大到954 MPa,−50℃冲击吸收能量从115 J降低到73 J;当Si元素含量为0.45%时,熔敷金属显微组织主要由板条贝氏体及部分粒状贝氏体和板条马氏体组成,各组织间呈相互交织状分布;而当Si元素含量增大到0.66%时,组织主要由细长条状的板条马氏体及部分板条贝氏体组成;随着Si元素含量增大,组织长宽比明显增大,且组织之间趋于平行分布.熔敷金属由γ(奥氏体)→贝氏体/马氏体混合组织转变时的相变温度随着Si元素含量增加而降低,随着Si含量增大,熔敷金属板条和板条块亚结构由交织的短条状向平行的细长条状转变,板条束亚结构尺寸明显变大,板条束亚结构尺寸增加使熔敷金属的大角度晶界占比降低,熔敷金属的冲击韧性降低.

热输入对440 MPa级HSLA钢埋弧焊对接接头组织及性能的影响

采用20 kJ/cm,25 kJ/cm,30 kJ/cm三种焊接热输入进行440 MPa级HSLA钢埋弧焊试验,使用光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、维氏硬度仪以及冲击试验机等实验仪器,研究了焊接热输入对接头显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明,三种不同的热输入下的焊缝金属的显微组织主要由先共析铁素体、侧板条铁素体、针状铁素体以及少量残余奥氏体组成,粗晶热影响区的显微组织主要由粒状贝氏体组成。随着焊接热输入的增加,焊缝金属中针状铁素体的含量不断降低,先共析铁素体和侧板条铁素体的含量逐渐升高;粗晶热影响区中粒状贝氏体的晶粒尺寸明显增大,焊缝金属中直径大于1μm的夹杂物占比从40.7%逐渐升高至59.9%,因此使得焊缝金属的强度和低温冲击韧性下降。当热输入为20 kJ/cm时,焊缝金属的平均硬度值最高,且低温冲击韧性达到最优;当热输入从20 kJ/cm开始增大时,焊缝冲击功从186 J下降至130 J,冲击断口中韧窝尺寸逐渐减小,深度变浅,断口形貌由韧性断裂向准解理断裂过渡,降低了裂纹扩展所需的能量,使得冲击吸收功不断减小。

440MPa级HSLA钢焊缝低温韧性分析

采用自制的2种实心焊丝对440 MPa级HSLA钢进行了对接MAG焊(80%Ar+20%CO_(2)),通过对比分析2种焊缝的显微组织和夹杂物尺寸及成分,对2种焊缝低温韧性出现显著差异的原因进行了阐释。结果表明,J1焊丝的焊缝由针状铁素体、侧板条铁素体、先共析铁素体和M-A组元组成,而J2焊丝的焊缝由针状铁素体和M-A组元组成;2种焊丝的焊缝中夹杂物的粒径分布、尺寸、数量和成分差异小,不是导致2种焊缝低温韧性出现显著差异的主要原因;与J1焊丝的焊缝相比,J2焊丝的焊缝中针状铁素体含量升高、M-A组元含量降低、条状和块状M-A组元占比降低,是导致其低温韧性显著优于J1焊丝的主要原因。

工业试验Mg脱氧HSLA钢CGHAZ的夹杂物、组织及韧性的特征分析

Mg作为第三代氧化物冶金技术的关键脱氧剂有助于提升高强度低合金钢(HSLA)的组织韧性。利用夹杂物自动分析系统、金相显微镜、焊接热模拟试验机等研究了Mg脱氧对HSLA钢粗晶热影响区(CGHAZ)夹杂物、组织以及低温冲击韧性的影响。结果表明,在200 kJ/cm的大线能量焊接条件下,Mg脱氧钢CGHAZ中生成了大量Mg-Ti-Mn-S夹杂物,由于这种类型的夹杂物可以促进针状铁素体(IAF)组织的形成,所以在200 kJ/cm大线能量焊接后,Mg脱氧钢CGHAZ低温冲击韧性优异,-20℃冲击功为204 J,断裂方式为韧性断裂。本研究成果可为提高大线能量焊接厚板钢组织性能提供理论与试验依据。

MICROSTRUCTURE AND INCLUSION CHARACTERIZATION IN THE SIMULATED COARSE-GRAIN HEAT AFFECTED ZONE WITH LARGE HEAT INPUT OF A Ti-Zr-MICROALLOYED HSLA STEEL

The microstructure and the characteristics of the inclusions embedded in ferrite matrix in simulated coarse-grain heat affected zone (CGHAZ) of a Ti-Zr-treated high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel have been investigated. The microstructure of the simulated CGHAZ dominantly consisted of intragranular acicular ferrite (IAF) combining with a small amount of polygonal ferrite (PF), widmanst tten ferrite (WF), bainite ferrite (BF), pearlite and martensite-austenite (M-A) islands. The PF, WF and BF were generally observed at the prior austenite grain boundaries and the interlocking acicular ferrite was usually found intragranularly. It was found that the inclusions were composed of Ti2O3, ZrO2, Al2O3 locating at the center of the particles and MnS lying on the surface layer of the inclusions. The intragranular complex inclusions promoted the acicular ferrite formation and the refinement of microstructure whilst those at prior austenite grain boundaries caused PF formation on the inclusions. The simulated CGHAZ consisting of such complicated microstructure exhibited desired mechanical properties.

MODELING OF ISOTHERMAL PRECIPITATION KINETICS IN HSLA STEELS AND ITS APPLICATION

Microalloying elements in high-strength low-alloy steels, such as Nb, Ti and V, precipitate during hot-rolling processes. On the basis of classical theory of nucleation and growth, quanti- tative modeling of isothermal precipitation was developed, which was tested by the stress rela- xation method, the calculated precipitation-time-temperature curve is in good agreements with the measured results, then the model was applied to predict the precipitation behavior during continuous cooling.

A Special TMCP Used to Develop a 800MPa Grade HSLA Steel

The effect of relaxation after finished rolling on structures and properties of four microalloyed steel with different content of Nb and Ti was investigated. By alloy designing and control rolling + relaxation-precipitation-control phase trail storm ati on (RPC) process, a new 800 MPa grade HSLA plate steel could be obtained, the microstructure is composite ultra-fine lath bainite/martensite. The tempering process and mechanical properties of this kind of HSLA steel were investigated. The yield strength can achieve 800 MPa, and the ductility and impact toughness is satisfied.

Study on hydrogen assisted cracking susceptibility of HSLA steel by implant test

DMR-249 A is an indigenously developed high strength low alloy steel for Indian ship building industry for making ship-hull and is extensively used in the construction of war ships and submarines. Welding electrodes conforming to SFA 5.5 AWS E8018 C1 has been indigenously developed for welding of this steel using shielded metal arc welding process. In the present study, susceptibility to hydrogen assisted cracking of DMR-249 A steel welds made using this electrode has been assessed using implant test. Implant tests were conducted using this electrode at two different levels of diffusible hydrogen, measured using gas chromatography technique. It is observed that both the steel and the welding consumable are not susceptible to hydrogen assisted cracking even with a high diffusible hydrogen level of 9 m L/100 g of weld metal. In implant tests, specimen did not fracture even after loading to stress levels higher than the yield strength of the base metal. The good resistance of this steel and the welding consumable, even with high levels of diffusible hydrogen, is attributed to absence of a susceptible microstructure in both the weld metal and heat affected zone. Hence, this study shows that, in the absence of a susceptible microstructure, hydrogen assisted cracking is unlikely to occur even if hydrogen level is high. It also confirms that in welding of DMR-249 A with indigenously developed E8018 C1 electrode, hydrogen assisted cracking is not a concern and no preheating is required to avoid it during welding.

MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN THE SIMULATED HEAT AFFECTED ZONE OF V TREATED HSLA STEELS

The simulated heat affected zone （HAZ） of the high strength low alloy （HSLA） steels containing 0%, 0.047%, 0.097% and 0.151% vanadium, respectively, were studied with Gleeble-2000 thermomechanical simulator to determine the influence of vanadium addition on the mechanical properties of the HAZ. The HAZ simulation involved reheating the samples to 1350℃, and then cooling to ambient temperature at a cooling rate of 5℃/s ranging from 800 to 500℃ （△8/5=60s）. The mechanical properties including tensile strength and -20℃ impact toughness were conducted. The microstructures of the base steel and the simulated HAZs were investigated using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope （ SEM ） and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. Based on the systemutic examination, the present work confirmed that about 0.05% vanadium addition to low carbon low alloy steels resulted in expected balance of strength and toughness of the HAZ. And more than 0.10% levels addition led to detrimental toughness of the HAZ SEM study showed that the simulated 0.097% and 0.151%V HAZs consisted of more coarse ferrite plates with greater and more M-A constituents along austenite grain and ferrite plate bound- aries. The impact fracture surfaces of the simulated 0.097% and 0.151%V HAZs showed typically brittle mode with predominant cleavages. The size of the facet in the fracture surface increased with increasing vanadium level from 0.097% to 0.151%.As a result, the simulated 0.151% V HAZ has the lowest impact toughness of the four specimens.

Hard Foulers Induced Crevice Corrosion of HSLA Steel in the Coastal Waters of the Gulf of Mannar (Bay of Bengal), India

In the present study an attempt has been made to investigate the relationship between the variations in the fouling assemblage and corrosion behaviour of HSLA steel at three coastal locations in the Gulf of Mannar, India, over a period of 24 months. Oyster fouling was dominant in the Tuticorin open sea, while barnacles were the major foulants in the Tuticorin harbour and Mandapam. The fouling load in the Tuticorin waters was higher when compared to the Mandapam waters. The corrosion rates decreased progressively with the immersion time at all three test locations. In the Tuticorin open sea, the corrosion rates were higher when compared to the other two locations throughout the study period. The surface of the coupons was characterized by crevices beneath the hard foulers in the Tuticorin harbour and Mandapam, whereas in the Tuticorin open sea, the coupons experienced crevices of a tunneling nature. The percentage of the loss of the tensile strength increased with time at all the test locations.

Effects of B and Ti on the Toughness of HSLA Steel Weld Metals

Effects of microalloying Ti and B on the microstructures and low temperature toughness of manual metal arc (MMA) deposits were investi- gated.Weld metals containing 200-300 ppm Ti and 29-60 ppm B deposited by manual coated elec- trodes provided an optimum low temperature toughness.The addition of B in weld metals low- ered the γ→α transformation temperature which promoted the acicular ferrite (AF) transformation. Solid solutioned B suppressed grain boundary ferrite as well as side plate ferrite formation and benefited the acicular ferrite formation.Titanium protected B from oxidizing as well as nitriding and formed Ti-Mn silicate inclusions.Ultra-high volt- age electron microscope analyses showed that TiO structure in the Ti-Mn silicate inclusions was the favorable nucleation site for acicular ferrite forma- tion.

Microstructures and Properties of 550 MPa Grade High Strength Thin-walled H-beam Steel

The microstructures and mechanical properties of 550 MPa grade lightweight high strength thin-walled H-beam steel were experimentally studied. The experimental results show that the microstructure of the air-cooled H-beam steel sample is consisted of ferrite, pearlite and a small amount of granular bainites as well as fine and dispersive V（C,N） precipitates. The microstructure of the water-cooled steel sample is consisted of ferrite and bainite as well as a small amount of fine pearlites. The microstructure of the water-cooled sample is finer than that of the air-cooled sample with the average intercept size of the surface grains reaching to 3.5 gna. The finish rolling temperature of the thin-walled high strength H-beam steel is in the range of 750 ~C-850 ~C. The lower the finish rolling temperature and the faster the cooling rate, the finer the ferrite grains, the volume fraction of bainite is increased through water cooling process. Grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening are used as major strengthening means to develop 550 MPa grade lightweight high strength thin- walled H-beam steel. Vanadium partially soluted in the matrix and contributes to the solution strengthening. The 550 MPa grade high-strength thin-walled H-beam steel could be developed by direct air cooling after hot rolling to fully meet the requirements of the target properties.

Effect of boron on microstructure and toughness of simulated CGHAZ of HSLA steel

Effect of boron on microstructure and toughness of simulated CGHAZ of 790 MPa grade HSLA steel was studied.In the CGHAZ,boron improved the toughness of granular bainite(Bg),but deteriorated that of martensite.The major reason of boron improving toughness of Bg was to reduce the.quantity of M-A constituents.The reasons of martensitic brittleness in microstructure were discussed in detail.The experimental results proved that the order state of dislocations was an important factor of martensitic brittleness caused by boron, and the higher the order degree of dislocations was, the more brittle the martensite was.

热输入对800 MPa级HSLA钢焊接接头组织及性能的影响

采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)、拉伸和冲击等试验方法,研究不同热输入(14~20 kJ/cm)对18 mm厚800 MPa级低合金高强(HSLA)钢熔化极气体保护焊接接头组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明:不同热输入下的焊缝金属显微组织主要以贝氏体和马氏体的混合组织为主,粗晶热影响区组织主要由板条马氏体和联合贝氏体组成。随着热输入增大,粒状贝氏体占比增多,板条块亚结构由平行分布的细长条状向粗大块状转变,焊缝金属的冲击韧性先升后降。当热输入为17 kJ/cm时,焊缝金属显微组织中的短条状板条贝氏体、板条马氏体和细小的粒状贝氏体相互交织且分布均匀,使得焊缝金属韧性高,且分散度较小。在14~20 kJ/cm热输入条件下,焊缝金属、熔合线处、热影响区的-50℃冲击吸收功最低值分别为105、190、166 J;焊缝金属与母材的抗拉强度相差不大,焊材与母材匹配性良好,都能获得强韧性匹配良好的焊接接头。

Static and Dpoamic Coarsening of Niobium Carbide in HSLA Steel

An experinientally quantitative inveetisation has been made on the precipitationand coarsening behaviors of niobium carbide in a high strength low alloy(HSLA) steel. The results suggest that the static coarsening processes duringisothermal reaction in (α+γ) two phase region and during isothermal stay aftercertain amount of deformation of austenite are principally controlled by thediffusion of niobium atoms along dislocation pipes, and the volume fraction ofthe precipitates exerts sisnificant influence on the coarsening processes.Whereas the dynamic coarsening process during hot deformation of austeniteappoars to be dominated by the carbide/matrix interphase reaction.
