Influence of high pressure and manganese addition on Fe-rich phases and mechanical properties of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy with rheo-squeeze casting

The influence of high pressure and manganese addition on Fe-rich phases(FRPs)and mechanical properties of Al-14Si-2Fe alloy with rheo-squeeze casting(RSC)was investigated.The semi-solid alloy melt was treated by ultrasonic vibration(UV)firstly,and then formed by squeeze casting(SC).Results show that the FRPs in as-cast SC alloys are composed of coarseβ-Al5(Fe,Mn)Si,δ-Al4(Fe,Mn)Si2 and bone-shapedα-Al15(Fe,Mn)3Si2 phases when the pressure is 0 MPa.With RSC process,the FRPs are first refined by UV,and then the solidification under pressure further causes the grains to become smaller.The peritectic transformation occurs during the formation ofαphase.For the alloy with the same composition,the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of RSC sample is higher than that of the SC sample.With the same forming process,the UTS of Al-14Si-2Fe-0.8Mn alloy is higher than that of Al-14Si-2Fe-0.4Mn alloy.

A Review of Influencing Factors of Damping Properties of High Manganese Steel

High manganese steel has wide prospects in industry due to their excellent mechanical and damping properties. The quenching structures of high manganese steel are ε-martensite, γ-austenite and α'-martensite. Researches show that the damping properties of high manganese steel are related to these microstructures. Besides, there are many ways to improve the damping property of damping alloys. This paper reviews the damping mechanism and the influences of the ad-dition of alloying elements, heat treatment, pre-deformation and other factors on their damping performance, hoping to provide methods and ideas for the study of damping properties of high manganese steel. .

Microstructure and Property of High Carbonic-Chromium Cast Steel with Different Hot Deformation Ratio

The microstructure and properties of high carbonic-chromium cast steel subjected to different hot deformation ratios were studied.The experimental results show that the microstructure and properties of high carbonic-chromium cast steel are obviously improved after hot deformation,and the best mechanical properties of the cast steel can be obtained under hot deformation ratio of 40 %-50 %,which leads to the morphology change of eutectic carbide and the precipitation of granular carbides.

Influence of carbon content on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mn13Cr2 and Mn18Cr2 cast steels

In this paper, a comparison study was carried out to investigate the influence of carbon content on the microstructure, hardness, and impact toughness of water-quenched Mn13Cr2 and Mn18Cr2 cast steels. The study results indicate that both steels' water-quenched microstructures are composed of austenite and a small amount of carbide. The study also found that, when the carbon contents are the same, there is less carbide in Mn18Cr2 steel than in Mn13Cr2 steel. Therefore, the hardness of Mn18Cr2 steel is lower than that of Mn13Cr2 steel but the impact toughness of Mn18Cr2 steel is higher than that of Mn13Cr2 steel. With increasing the carbon content, the hardness increases and the impact toughness decreases in these two kinds of steels, and the impact toughness of Mn18Cr2 steel substantially exceeds that of Mn13Cr2 steel. Therefore, the water-quenched Mn18Cr2 steel with high carbon content could be applied to relatively high impact abrasive working conditions, while the as-cast Mn18Cr2 steel could be only used under working conditions of relatively low impact abrasive load due to lower impact toughness.

Casting properties of ASTM A128 Gr.E1 steel modified with Mn-alloying and titanium ladle treatment

This work aims to produce a high manganese steel with more refined austenite grains and better wear resistance without sacrificing the toughness and tensile properties by Mn alloying and Ti ladle treatment in comparision to ASTM A128 Gr.E1 steel (1.0C-13Mn) that is mostly used in the mining industry.The 1.0C-17Mn-xTi alloys (x=0,0.05 and 0.1,in wt.%) were prepared.A relationship was established between the microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-cast and solution annealed alloys.Increasing Ti content increases the stable Ti(CN) phase on and beside the grain boundaries and decreases up to 37% the austenite grain size of the as-cast alloy with 0.10wt.% Ti.Correspondingly,after solution annealed,optimized titanium content (0.05wt.%) results in significant improvements in wear resistance,hardness,elongation,yield and tensile strengths by 44%,31%,30%,8% and 12%,respectively,except 9% decrease in impact toughness compared to ASTM A 128 Gr.E1 steel without modification.These results show that 1.0C-17Mn-0.05Ti alloy can be used for parts exposed to high load wear and applied in conditions where relatively high tensile properties with sufficent ductility is needed.

Effect of Nb on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Non-magnetic High Manganese Steel

Microstructure and mechanical properties of two kinds of non-magnetic high manganese steels with and without Nb addition which experienced the same rolling and heating treatment were investigated by means of scan ning electron microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile test. It was found that the microstructure of the high manganese steel was refined by the Nb addition. Moreover, steel with Nb addition has a higher stacking fault energy which favors the deformation twinning, Twin ning is the most important deformation mechanism in the Nb-bearing steel. Therefore, steel with Nb addition has much higher strength and higher plasticity. The product of tensile strength and total elongation exceeds 61.8 GPa ·%. In addition, steel with Nb addition also has excellent non magnetic property.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of High Manganese TRIP Steel

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of newly designed 0.1C-6Mn-0.5Si-1Al TRIP-aided steels under different annealing conditions and the effects of matrix microstructure before intercritical annealing on the final microstructure were studied by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）,scanning electron microcopy（SEM）,dilatometric simulation,optical microstructure（OM） and tensile testing in this work.The experimental results indicate that the TRIP steel with Mn of 6% could form a considerable amount of retained austenite with good TRIP effect after a simple intercritical annealing treatment,and the matrix microstructure before intercritical annealing treatment can greatly affect the final microstructure.The original microstructure of the ferritic matrix steel was eliminated,while annealed martensite was remained from the martensite matrix steel under the same intercritical annealing conditions

Microstructure and Impact Wear Resistance of TiN Reinforced High Manganese Steel Matrix

A high-manganese austenitic steel matrix （Mn13） composite reinforced with TiN ceramic particles was synthesized by means of Vacuum-Evaporation Pattern Casting （V-EPC）. The composite microstructure and interface bonding of TiN/matrix were analyzed utilizing optical microscope （OM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The effects of different volume fraction of TiN on impact wear resistance were evaluated by MLD-10 impact wear test. The results showed that TiN was evenly distributed in composite layer and had a good interface bonding with matrix when the volume fractions of TiN were 27% and 36% respectively. However, cast defects and TiN agglomeration occurred when the TiN volume fraction increased to 48~. Compared with high-manganese austenitic steel （Mnl3）, the im- pact wear resistance of the TiN-reinforced composite is better. In small impact load conditions, composite layer can effectively resist abrasives wear and TiN particles played an important role in determining impact wear resistance of composite layer. In large impact load, the synergistic roles of spalling of TiN particles and the increase of work hardening of Mn13 based material are responsible for impact wear resistance.

针对新型奥氏体高锰低温钢在LNG (Liquefied natural gas)储罐应用中的磨损问题,本文中研究了不同固溶处理温度对微观组织、力学性能和耐磨性能影响以及三者之间的关联性.将25Mn高锰钢分别在950、1 000、1 050以及1 100℃下固溶处理0.5 h,并采用光学显微镜、白光干涉仪、扫描电子显微镜及能谱仪对试样的微观组织、磨损轮廓和磨痕形貌进行了表征.结果表明:随着固溶处理温度的升高,高锰钢的表面硬度逐渐下降,1 100℃固溶处理后钢材硬度降到最低,约为261 HV.另外,钢材的抗拉强度随固溶温度升高先增大后减小,其中在1 000℃下展现出最优的抗拉强度、屈服强度及应变硬化速率.在摩擦性能测试结果中可以看出,高锰钢表面平均摩擦系数随着固溶处理温度先增大后减小再增大,在1 000℃时因发生氧化摩擦而降到最低,约为0.39,磨损率为0.49‰,表现了最优的耐磨性能.这主要是由于1 000℃热处理后的高锰钢磨痕表面密布颗粒均匀的碳化物,导致磨损后的硬度增大近50.6%,磨损机理从颗粒磨损与疲劳磨损结合转变为黏着磨损为主,颗粒磨损为辅.

Effect of Heat Treatment on Structure and Wear Resistance of High Chromium Cast Steel Containing Boron

The microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance of high chromium cast steel containing boron after different heat treatments were studied by means of the optical microscopy （OM）, the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, hardness, impact toughness, tensile and pin-on-disc abrasion tests. The results show that as cast microstructures of boron-free high chromium steel consist of martensite and a few （Cr, Fe）_7C_3 carbide, and the macro-hardness of boron-free high chromium steel is 55-57 HRC. After 0.5 mass% B was added into high chromium cast steel, as-cast structure transforms into eutectic （Fe, Cr）2B, （Cr, Fe）7 （C, B）a and martensite, and the macro-hardness reaches 58-60 HRC. High temperature quenching leads to the disconnection and isolated distribution of boride, and there are many （Cr,Fe）_23 （C,B）_6 precipitated phases in the quenching structure. Quenching from 1050 ℃, high chromium steel obtained the highest hardness, and the hardness of high chromium cast steel containing boron is higher than that of boron-free high chromium steel. The change of quenching temperature has no obvious effect on impact toughness of high chromium steel, and the increase of quenching temperature leads to tensile strength having an increasing tendency. At the same quenching temperature, the wear resistance of high chromium cast steel containing boron is more excellent than that of boron-free high chromium steel. High chromium cast steel guide containing boron has good performance while using in steel bar mill.
