The results indicate that the normalized microstructures of the steels are typical granular bainite(GB) composed primarily of bainitic ferrite and martensite and/or austenite(M-A) constituents. The M-A constituents are transformed into ferrite and carbides and/or agglomerated carbides after tempering at 700℃ for 4 h. The addition of RE decreases the onset temperature of bainitic transformation and results in the formation of finer bainitic ferrite, and reduces the amount of carbon-rich M-A constituents. For the normalized and tempered samples, the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature(DBTT) decreases with increasing RE content to a critical value of 0.012 wt.%. Lower DBTT and higher upper shelf energy are attributed to the decreased effective grain size and lower amount of coarse agglomerated carbides from the decomposition of massive M-A constituents. However, the addition of RE in excess of 0.012 wt.% leads to a substantial increase in the volume fraction of large-sized inclusions, which are extremely detrimental to the impact toughness.展开更多

The microstructure of the as forged bainitic steel mainly consists of granular bainite and -20 vol. % martensite. The fraction of retained austenite remains unchanged until tempering at 200 ℃, above which it decreases significantly. The increase of tempering temperature leads to decreases of both ultimate tensile strength and total elongation but decreases of both yield strength and reduction of area. The maximum and mini- mum values of impact toughness were observed after tempering at around 200 and 400 ℃, respectively. These effects are mainly attributed to the decomposition of martensite/austenite con stituents and the tempering effects in martensite. The tempering of the forged bainitic steel at around 200 ℃ results in an excellent combination of strength and toughness, which is comparable to that of the conventional quenched and-tempered 40Cr steel. Therefore, low-tempering treatment coupled with post-forging residual stress relieving is a feasible method to further improve the mechanical prooerties of the bainitic foging steel.展开更多

The Charpy impact test was carried out with an instrumented Charpy impact tester. The microstructure and fracture surface were investiga-ted by a combination of optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods. It was found that the impact toughness of DQT specimen was much higher than that of RQT specimen. The microstructure of both DQT and RQT specimens was characterized by a mixture of tempered lath martensite and lower hainite. The lower bainite in DQT specimen extended into prior austenite grains and the content was higher than that in RQT specimen. The lower bainite in DOT specimen improved the impact toughness by increasing the proportion of large-angle boundaries and relieving the stress concentration at the crack tip. A number of fine and dis-persed carbides in DQT specimen also contributed to the improvement of the impact toughness.展开更多

The effect of two processes thermomechanical control process （TMCP）＋ tempering （T） and thermomechanical control process （TMCP） ＋ reheating and quenching （RQ） ＋ tempering （T） on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied by means of scan electron microscope （SEM）, transmission electron micro- scope （TEM） and electron back scatter diffraction （EBSD）. The results showed that optimal mechanical properties were available when tempering at 550 ℃ for both processes. The microstructure of the TMCP＋T treated sample tempering in the range of 450 to 550 ℃ for 1 h did not change dramatically yet the lath in the TMCP＋RQ＋T trea- ted sample merged together and transformed into polygonal ferrite. At the same time, the sub-structure of grain bainite transformed from lath to cell shape to refine grains with tempering temperature mounting. Lots of sub-grain boundaries were located within bainite and adjacent bainite grain boundaries were high angle.展开更多
