喷射成形Vanadis4冷作模具钢高温变形行为研究

采用喷射成形工艺制备了高碳高合金Vanadis4冷作模具钢,采用光学显微镜观察了其微观组织,利用Gleeble-3800热模拟试验机对其高温变形行为进行了研究,变形温度850℃～1150℃、变形速率为0.01s^-1～30s^-1.结果表明,喷射工艺得到了晶粒细小且无宏观偏析的组织;其真应力-应变曲线为典型的动态再结晶形曲线,变形初期流变应力随应变量增加迅速增加且很快达到峰值,该特点不同于传统工艺Cr12MoV冷作模具钢的真应力应变曲线特点.根据测得曲线的峰值应力应变计算了喷射成形V4钢变形激活能,结果表明激活能随温度增加而降低,受变形速率影响不大,其变形激活能在较高温度、中温、较低温度时分别为250、407、512kJ/mol.

高合金钢Vanadis4凝固过程及组织

通过激光扫描共焦显微镜、X射线衍射、扫描电镜、电子探针、微区成分能谱分析和差示扫描量热法,研究了高合金Vanadis4(V4)模具钢(%:1.5C、8.0Cr、1.5Mo、4.0V)的凝固过程及其微观组织。结果表明,V4钢基体为马氏体和残余奥氏体,基体中碳化物主要为MC与M_7C_3型。杆状、棒状或团块状VC分布在晶界。该钢在凝固时,首先发生结晶过程L→γ从液相中析出初生γ相,随着γ相不断析出,剩余液相中合金元素含量不断富集,达到共晶成分后将先后发生L→γ+MC与L→γ+M_7C_3共晶反应。

Microstructure of the spray formed Vanadis4 cold work die steel and its evolution during hot rolling and heat treatment

A high alloyed Vanadis4 （V4） steel was produced by spray forming process in Baosteel, and the microstructure of the as-sprayed steel and its evolution during hot rolling and annealing processes were characterized. It was found that the as-sprayed V4 steel has a homogeneous and fine scale rrficrostructure with uniform dispersion of carbides. The hot rolling temperature is the key factor in controlling the evolution of type, morphology and distribution of carbides, as well as the matrix microstructure of the as-rolled steels. The optimized processing parameters for the as-sprayed V4 steel are rolling at 1050℃ and then annealing at 900℃. The microstructural evolution mechanisms during hot rolling and annealing are determined according to the microstructural analyasis of the material at different stages.
