The as-rolled microstructure and mechanical properties of bainitie steel containing Nb of 0. 02% were investigated by tensile test, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that adding 0.02 % of Nb obviously improves the strength without sacrificing toughness of the FGBA/BG steel. Adding 0.02% of Nb not only refines the grain boundary allotriomorphic ferrite grains but also promotes the refinement of granular bainite including its bainitic ferrite and M/A island. Any Nb(C,N) has been hardly observed in the steel containing Nb of 0.02%. It is suggested that the strengthening mechanism of Nb of 0.02% can be mainly attributed to the effect of Nb in solution (solute drag-like effect) on the phase transformation rather than the precipitation strengthening of Nb(C, N) particles.展开更多

This kind of microstructure could induce higher strength and better toughness.展开更多

The static recrystallization behavior, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of this hot-rolled plate steel were investigated by the hot compression, continuous cooling trans- formation, and tensile deformation test. The results show that the developed steel has excellent mechanical properties at both room and elevated temperature, and its microstructure mainly consists of lath bainite, granular bainite, and ferrite after thermal-mechanical control process (TMCP). The ultra-high strength plate steel is obtained by the TMCP process in hot rolling, strengthened by bainitic transformation, microstructure refinement, and precipitation of alloying elements such as Nb, Ti, Mo, and Cu. The experimental steel has relatively low welding crack sensitivity index and high atmospheric corrosion resistance index. Therefore, the developed steel has a good balance of strength and ductility both at room and elevated temperature, weldability and corrosion resistance, and it can suffice for the basic demands for materials in the manufacture of coal mine refuge chamber.展开更多
