Abstract(19) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The microstructure of Ti-6 Al-4 V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting was studied at different heat treatment conditions to reveal the internal relation during the heat treatment process,microstructure and mechanical properties.The results show that at 600~700 ℃ α′ martensite in the alloy is not completely decomposed to form a mixed microstructure of α′ and α+β,resulting in a high strength and low elongation for the alloy.When the temperature increases to 800~900 ℃,α′ martensite in the alloy can be fully transformed into steady lamellar α+β.After hot isostatic pressure,the metastable α′ martensite is completely converted to lamellar α+β and some local areas in the alloy are coarsened.With increase of the heat treatment temperature,the yield strength and tensile strength of the alloy are gradually decreased coupled with gradual increase of the specific elongation,compared with the deposition state.The optimum annealing temperature and holding time of the as-fabricated samples are determined at 800 ℃ for 2 h in combination with the growth behavior of grains.

Abstract:
Steel slag is an industrial waste,and the efficient utilization of steel slag has important environmental value.In this paper,steel slag was used to treat wastewater containing Cr3+ and then used as cement mixture.The effect of steel slag adsorbing Cr3+ was discussed.The influence of steel slag containing chromium on setting time and fluidity of cement mortar were studied,and the effect of steel slag on strength and hydration performance of cement products was investigated too.The mechanism of cement solidifying Cr3+ was analyzed.The results showed that steel slag could effectively dispose of wastewater containing Cr3+.When the Cr3+ concentration and pH of the wastewater were 40 mg/L and 6,respectively,and the liquid-solid ratio was 10∶1,the adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of Cr3+ on the steel slag reached 5.93 mg/g and 85.63%,respectively.The introduction of chromium-containing steel slag improved the fluidity of cement mortar,but reduced the compressive strength of products.The initial setting time,the final setting time and fluidity of cement mortar were 176 min,286 min and 193.2% respectively,when 32 % chromium-containing steel slag was added.The compressive strengths of cement products could reach 42.5 R grade after curing for 7 days and 28 days.XRD and SEM analysis displayed that the low hydration activity of steel slag and the addition of steel slag were not conducive to hydration products formation such as C-S-H gels and tobermorite.Cr3+ did not react with other components in the raw material,and its cementation by amorphous calcium silicate hydrate was the main reason to inhibit its leaching activity.Under acidic condition,the Cr3+ leaching concentration meet the requirement by GB5085.3—2007 standard.This study provides a new way for the efficient utilization of heavy metal adsorption steel slag.

2019, 40(4): 126-131. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2019.04.024
Abstract:
In this paper a serials of TRIP-assisted annealed martensitic(TAM) steels had been obtained through niobium,vanadium and/or titanium microalloying additions into a base chemistry of 0.2%C-1.5%Si-2.0%Mn,and a complex heat cycles of double quenching+tempering processes.From the hydroden charging curves microalloyed precipitates have significant effects on delaying/retaining the hydrogen diffusion through steel matrixs.Hydrogen charging test results indicates that when microallying additions are at silimar level,Nb microalloying steel has the lowest apparent hydrogen diffusive index Da=0.716×10-7 cm2/s,Ti steel with moderate Da=1.136×10-7 cm2/s,while value is 2.647×10-7 cm2/s for 0.052%V steel.However,all these values are far lower than that of refered steel with its Da=4.215×10-7 cm2/s.For V-microalloyed steels,the SSRT results show that the hydrogen induced ductility loss ID is 76.2% for 0.2%V steel,compared with 86.5% for V-free steel.The trapping mechanism of the steel containing different V contents is analyzed by means of TDS and TEM observation.It is found that the steel containing 0.2%V can create much more traps and higher activationenergy for hydrogen trapping compared with V-free steel,which is due to VC as hydrogen traps capturing hydrogen.The relationship between hydrogen diffusion and hydrogen trapping mechanism is discussed in details.

Two kinds of billets containing 0.09% niobium and niobium free were used for this study.The billets had been heated up to different temperatures and then quenched after holding for 30 min.The microstructure of the samples was observed by JEM-2011 transmission microscope.At the same time,the morphology of black material in as-cast microstructure was determined by scanning electron microscope(SEM).By observing the quantity distribution of precipitates obtained at different soaking temperatures,the effect of niobium addition on solid solution temperature of precipitates in Nb and Nb-free steels were compared and analyzed.The results show that:The grain size of niobium containing oriented silicon steel billet is more uniform and smaller than that of niobium-free billet.Niobium element can hinder grain growth.The complete solid solution temperature of precipitates in Nb-containing oriented silicon steel is between 1 250 ℃ and 1 300 ℃,and the total solid solution temperature of precipitates in steel without Nb is above 1 300 ℃,indicating that Nb can obviously reduce the complete solid solution temperature of precipitates.

Abstract:
Carbonitride precipitates influence the microstructure and properties of steel by grain refinement and precipitation strengthening.Based on a two-sub lattice model(metal atom sub lattice and interstitial atom sub lattice) of regular solution,a thermodynamic model for the precipitates of carbonitride,aluminium nitride and manganese sulfide was established and then used to calculate the starting-temperature of precipitates,the equilibrium molar fraction and the evolution of precipitation.The precipitation pattern was verified by Thermo-Calc software,transmission electron microscope(TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS).The calculation results show that starting-temperature of precipitation of MnS and AlN are 1 200 ℃ and 675 ℃,their molar fraction are 1.05×10-4 and 1.21×10-4.The evolution order of precipitation particles is(Nb0.29Ti0.68V0.03)(C0.01N0.99),(NbxTivV1-x-v)(CyN1-y) and(Nb0.29Ti0.45V0.26)(C0.87N0.13).By comparison,the simulation results of the model are in good agreement with the calculation by the Thermo-Calc software and the TEM observation results.

Abstract:
The hot deformation behavior of Fe-13 Cr-4 Al alloy was investigated by compression test on a Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator under the temperatures of 800~1 000 ℃ with strain rates of 0.01~10 s-1.Based on experimental data,the true stress-strain curves of Fe-13 Cr-4 Al alloy were drawn,which showed that dynamic recrystallization occurred at the low strain rates(0.01~0.1 s-1) and dynamic recovery occurred at the high strain rates(1~10 s-1).According to the dynamic material model dissipative structure theory,the processing maps of Fe-13 Cr-4 Al were established at different true strains.The effect of strain on power dissipation rate was complicated.The peak power dissipation rate occurred at the temperature of 1 000 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01 s-1,and it increased with increasing strain.It could be seen from the processing map the optimum hot deforming domain was determined to be temperature of 800~850 ℃,strain rate of 0.01-1 s-1;temperature of 900~1 000 ℃,strain rate of 0.01-0.0.02 s-1 and temperature of 900~1 000 ℃,strain rate of 0.5~10 s-1.

Abstract:
The shear area of low-temperature DWTT of thick-wall X80-grade pipeline steel plate is now becoming a high technical challenge.In the paper,based on alloying design, 33 mm thick-wall X80 pipe line steel plates were obtained through different thickness of inter-mediate bar from non-recrystallization austenite region rolling when the other processing parameters of TMCP(thermo mechanical control process) maintained same values.The micro-structures and properties of resulted plates were investigated and analyzed by means of optical microscope.Comparing the microstructures obtained by the two different rolling processes,it is founded out that increasing thickness of intermediate bar from non-recrystallization austenite region(before starting finishing rolling) can enhance the volume fraction of ferrite and obtain smaller ferrite grains,thus can increase the shear area percent(SA%) of low-temperature DWTT and toughness.

Abstract:
The oxidation behavior of typical low alloy high strength steel QStE500 TM and pressure vessel steel Q345 R during 2 250 mm hot continuous rolling was studied by oxidation kinetics experiment.The results show that the growth of iron oxide scale complies with the parabola law.The oxidation activation energy of QStE500 TM steel is 161.766 kJ/mol,and the oxidation activation energy of Q345 R is 179.179 kJ/mol.The iron oxide scale shows a typical three-layer iron oxide scale structure.When the oxidation temperature is in the range of 700~800 ℃,the oxidation rate is very slow and the iron oxide scale is thin.When the temperature is higher than 900 ℃,the oxidation rate and the thickness of iron oxide scale increase sharply.
