The results show that Cu and B added can accelerate the strain-induced precipitation reaction, and the effect of Cu and B is even more obvious with Cu and B combined addition or Cu content increased. The TEM analysis of precipitate engendered at the temperature of 850℃ C indicate that Nb(C,N) precipitate nucleates dominantly on the dislocation line, and grows with holding time extended while the precipitate particle size increases from 5 nm to 17 nm.展开更多

The s...Two types of stress relaxation tests were carried out to investigate the incubation time for incipient precipitation of Ti(C,N) in deformed austenite and (Ti,Mo)C in ferrite of ferritic Ti-Mo microalloyed steel. The size distribution, amount and chemical composition of precipitates were obtained by using physicochemical phase analysis, and calculated according to thermodynamics and kinetics. The experimental results demonstrated that the incubation time was reduced with increasing Ti content, and prolonged with the addition of Mo. After 30% deformation at 850 ℃, the nucleation of strain-induced Ti(C,N) was a relatively slow process. On the other hand, the temperature where the nucleation rate of (Ti,Mo)C in ferrite was the highest descended first and then ascended with increasing Ti content, and so did the temperature where the incubation time was the shortest. The key point is that the temperature of steel containing about 0.09% Ti is the lowest. The mass fraction of MC-type particles with size smaller than 10 nm in steel containing 0.09% Ti and 0.2% Mo reached 73.7%. The size distributions of precipitates in steel containing 0.09% Ti were relatively concentrated compared with that in steel containing 0.07% Ti.展开更多
