    Abstract197)      PDF (3745KB)(346)      
    Effect of solution temperature on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of 2507 super duplex stainless steel was investigated by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, XRD, tensile test and electrochemical analysis. The thermodynamic equilibrium phase diagram of the 2507 duplex stainless steel was calculated by Thermo-Calc thermodynamic software and compared with the test results. The results show that σ phase can be eliminated by solution treatment at temperatures higher than 1050 ℃. With the increase of solution temperature, the content of ferrite phase increases, the content of austenite phase decreases, and the volume fraction ratio of α/γ increases. The duplex stainless steel has better comprehensive mechanical properties after solution treatment at 1050-1100 ℃ for 30 min and water cooling, of which the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation are more than 600 MPa, 840 MPa and 35%, respectively. The duplex stainless steel can obtain better corrosion resistance after solution treatment at 1050 ℃ for 30 min.

    Lü Xuechun, Zhao Wenge, Yuan Mingrong, Li Heng
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2023, 48 (5): 279-282.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2023.05.044
    Abstract96)      PDF (2582KB)(240)      
    Deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of the TC11 titanium alloy at high temperatures were investigated. The results show that the flow stress of the alloy decreases as the deformation temperature increases and the strain rate decreases during deformation, and the degree of softening of the flow stress increases as the strain rate increases. By analysis of the processing map at true strain of 0.6, the highest energy dissipation rate is found at 940 ℃ and 0.001 s-1 and reaching 0.71. The plastic instability zone is found in the range of 920-930 ℃ and 0.9-10 s-1. The dynamic recrystallization of the α-phase during hot deformation of the TC11 titanium alloy is promoted by increase of the strain rate, the deformation volume and the deformation temperature.

    Tan Guoyin
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2023, 48 (5): 291-293.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2023.05.047
    Abstract46)      PDF (1272KB)(227)      
    Impact properties of the ZL108 aluminum alloy after solution aging treatment were studied by means of OM, SEM and impact testing machine. The results show that the as-cast microstructure is mainly composed of α solid solution, coarse eutectic silicon and bulk primary silicon. After solution and aging treatment, the precipitated phase is fine and evenly distributed, with a morphology similar to short rod or coral shaped, which can better pin dislocations and help improve the impact properties of the material. The non-equilibrium distribution of elements in the as-cast specimens results in the production of a large amount of refractory eutectic silicon and bulk primary silicon. After solution and aging treatment, the precipitated phase particles continue to break under high temperature, and most of them are remelted into the matrix. The remaining precipitate particles have smaller sizes, which can better coordinate the deformation of the matrix and improve the impact properties of the specimen by 6.6 times.

    Zhang Lunfeng, Wang Zhihan, Zhao Junyu, An Kang, Xu Jun, Gu Jianfeng
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2023, 48 (9): 247-252.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2023.09.042
    Abstract72)      PDF (3415KB)(212)      
    Material parameters are the crucial data support in heat treatment process simulation. However, at present, there is a lack of relevant material databases in China, and a few existing databases have problems such as low data accuracy, poor integrity, and inability to share data, they only distinguish materials based on chemical composition, which cannot meet the parameter requirements of heat treatment process simulation. Therefore, a data structure focusing on chemical composition and microstructure was designed, and an online special material database was also independently developed. The database optimizes the data storage structure according to the characteristics of material parameters required for heat treatment process simulation. Adopting B/S architecture design realizes data sharing and improves the convenience of data use. Furthermore, by using data mining technology, the database introduces four machine learning algorithms: multivariable linear regression, Bayesian linear regression, decision tree, and random forest, and establishes an innovative data extraction mechanism. The effective data extraction strategy can be determined through the application analysis of existing data, and then the actual data requires at present can be obtained, which preliminarily solves the problem of data missing currently, and strongly supports the development of heat treatment process simulation.

    Effects of rare earth elements Ce and Y on high temperature oxidation behavior of JG4246A alloy
    Chen Chonglin, Wang Jun'an, Yu Jianbo, Tu Yuguo, Zhang Meng, Li Mengli
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2023, 48 (5): 78-82.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2023.05.013
    Abstract59)      PDF (2724KB)(193)      
    In the secondary generation superalloy JG4246A, rare earth elements Ce and Y were added to obtain four kinds of tested alloy ingots with addition of 0.012Ce (mass fraction, %, the same below), 0.017Ce, 0.034Y and 0.061Y, respectively. The effects of Ce and Y on high temperature oxidation resistance of these alloys at 1100 ℃ were studied. The phase composition and the morphology of oxidized surface were analyzed by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the oxidation mass gain of the JG4246A alloy can be reduced by adding rare earth elements during the isothermal oxidation process at 1100 ℃ in air, and the oxidation kinetics of the JG4246A alloys conforms to parabolic law. Compared to the rare earth element Y, Ce has a more significant effect on slowing down the high temperature oxidation rate of the JG4246A alloy. The addition of rare earth elements does not change the surface morphology of the oxide film, but the spinel oxide makes the oxide film more compact, which can inhibit the outward diffusion of cations and reduce the oxidation reaction rate, thus improving the oxidation resistance at high temperature.

    Abstract230)      PDF (660KB)(192)      
    Surface strengthening of 304 and 316L austenitic stainless steels was processed by using vacuum low pressure carburizing process. The microstructure, phase composition and microhardness distribution of the carburized layers were analyzed by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, Thermo-Calc software, X-ray diffractometer and microhardness tester. The offsets of different diffraction peaks in the carburized layers and the changes in lattice parameters before and after carburizing of the tested steels were calculated. Combined with the effects of molybdenum on carburizing process of the austenitic stainless steels, the differences in the carburized layer thickness, surface hardness and mechanism of carbides precipitation after carburizing of 304 and 316L austenitic stainless steels were compared and studied. The results show that the carburized layers produced by 750 ℃ carburizing for 2.6 h are composed of expanded austenite and Cr23C6 phases, the austenite lattice constant has increased by 1.33% and 1.14% respectively for 304 and 316L stainless steels, and Cr23C6 is mainly precipitated in strip shape on the expanded austenite grain boundaries. The surface hardness of the 304 and 316L stainless steels after carburizing at 750 ℃ for 2.6 h is over 2 times higher than that of substrate.

    Abstract86)      PDF (4321KB)(189)      
    Two X32 steels with different contents of C and N were prepared in order to develop novel X32 steel material with lower alloy content and more economical production cost. The feasibility was discussed through the characterization of properties and microstructure. The static CCT curves of two X32 steels were presented, and microstructure and mechanical properties of the hot rolled intermediate billet of these two steels after heat treatment were studied. The heat treatment experimental result was verified by industrial trial production of the two X32 steel cold strips. The research shows that X32 steel can achieve obvious microstructure refinement, strength and hardness improvement by increasing C and N content by adopting V-C and V-N microalloying technology. Therefore, without affecting quality, it is feasible to reduce the content of Ni, Cr and Mo alloy but increasing the content of C and N by using V-C and V-N microalloying technology, which points out the direction for developing new X32 steel with more economic production cost.

    Effect of subcritical heat treatment on microstructure and properties of high chromium cast irons
    Yuan Zhizhong, Liu Haiming, Ju Yulin, Chen Lu, Niu Zongran, Wang Zhiyuan, Cao Fuyang, Cheng Xiaonong
    Heat Treatment of Metals    2024, 49 (10): 1-7.   doi:10.13251/j.issn.0254-6051.2024.10.001
    Abstract244)      PDF (4765KB)(173)      
    Aiming at the problem of high energy consumption in conventional quenching and tempering process of high chromium cast irons, the subcritical heat treatment tests of three kinds of high chromium cast irons were carried out. Moreover, the effect of the process on the microstructure, hardness and surface wear resistance was studied. The results show that the microstructure of high chromium cast irons is primarily composed of retained austenite, M7C3 carbide, (Fe, Cr)23C6 carbide, Mo2C carbide and pearlite when subjected to holding temperatures ranging from 500 ℃ to 650 ℃ for 1 h to 14 h. A peak value in hardness is observed for the three high chromium cast irons when holding at 550 ℃ to 600 ℃ for 6 h to 12 h, with the highest peak hardness being 57.4 HRC. The hardness is most significantly influenced by the Mo element. During the insulation process, the pearlite phase transformation of austenite is promoted by the precipitation of secondary carbides in high chromium cast irons. The effects of pearlite transformation strengthening and precipitation strengthening of secondary carbides gradually decrease with prolonged holding time. The eutectic high chromium cast iron with the highest carbon content exhibits the best wear resistance when holding at 600 ℃ for 8 h. It can be seen that the first step to improve the wear resistance of high chromium cast irons is to increase the amount of eutectic carbides, and then to add elements such as Mo to enhance the precipitation strengthening effect.

    Abstract179)      PDF (5846KB)(158)      
    Effect of austenitization temperature (875-975 ℃) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the novel Cr-Mn-Si series high strength medium carbon low alloy 40CrMnSi2Mo steel under air cooling condition was studied by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). The results show that when austenitized at 875 ℃ and 900 ℃, the microstructure is dominated by martensite with a small amount of the undissolved precipitates (NbC). The prior austenite grains are fine and stable. The tensile strength is 1997 MPa and 2003 MPa, the elongation is 11.0% and 12.0%, and the fracture toughness is 70.3 MPa·m1/2 and 73.6 MPa·m1/2, respectively. When austenitized at 975 ℃, the solubility of NbC increases and the pinning effect decreases. The growth of austenite grain size decreases the thermal stability so that the coarse bainite/martensite multiphase is obtained under air cooling. The tensile strength is 1980 MPa, the elongation is 10.5%, and the fracture toughness is only 77.6 MPa·m1/2. The effect of the austenite grain refinement on the strength and toughness of the 40CrMnSi2Mo steel is not obvious. The fine bainite/martensite multiphase can be obtained after austenitizing at 950 ℃. The mechanical properties achieve an excellent combination, with the tensile strength of 2040 MPa, the elongation of 12% and the fracture toughness of 86.6 MPa·m1/2.

    An outside-strong but inside-tough 12CrNi2Y-50Cr6Ni2Y-70Cr8Ni2Y gradient alloy steel specimen was prepared by direct laser deposition technology. Then the microstructure, interfacial adhesion, hardness gradient distribution and wear resistance of the specimen were studied by means of metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, hardness tester and friction testing machine. The results show that the 12CrNi2Y-50Cr6Ni2Y-70Cr8Ni2Y gradient alloy steel specimen with metallurgical bonding at the gradient transition interface and no crack inclusion defects is successfully prepared under the optimized laser deposition parameters. The microstructure of the specimen shows a change trend from (granular bainite+lath bainite+a small amount of martensite) to (lath bainite+lath martensite) to (lath martensite+plate martensite), the corresponding hardness changes as gradient distribution of 356 HV0.2 → 551 HV0.2 →712 HV0.2, and the volume wear rate as gradient distribution of 2.01×10-4 mm3·N-1·m-1 → 1.33×10-4 mm3·N-1·m-1 → 0.71×10-4 mm3·N-1·m-1. In the prepared gradient alloy steel specimen, due to the increase of C and Cr content, the hardness of the specimen shows a gradient distribution from low to high, and the wear resistance of the surface working layer is improved by nearly 2.8 times, so the outside-strong but inside-tough requirements is realized by gradient distributions of microstructure and properties. The obvious element diffusion of small-size C atoms near the transition interface of gradient alloy steel specimen promotes the metallurgical bonding of gradient interface.

    A medium carbon steel with 0.49%C was quenched at different temperatures in two-phase zone, then cold rolled 50% and annealed to obtain the ferritic bimodal structure. The microstructure was characterized by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD), and the effect of the bimodal structure on mechanical properties was analyzed by tensile experiments at room temperature. The results show that the average grain size of the ferrite decreases with the increase of the quenching temperature in the two-phase zone. The strength of the tested steel is the highest when quenched at 770 ℃, the elongation is the highest at 750 ℃, and the product of strength and elongation is the highest at 760 ℃. When the proportion of submicron grains is 31.4% and the peak grain sizes of coarse grains and fine grains are respectively 2.51 and 0.79 μm, the tested steel has better matching of strength and elongation.
