New medium Mn steels for forged components, in combination with a new heat treatment, are presented. This new annealing process implies air-cooling after forging and austenite reversion tempering (AC + ART). This leads to energy saving compared to other heat treatments, like quenching and tempering (Q + T) or quenching and partitioning (Q + P). Furthermore, the temperature control of AC + ART is easy, which increases the applicability to forged products with large diameters. Laboratory melts distinguished by Ti, B, Mo contents have been casted and consecutively forged into semi-finished products. Mechanical properties and microstructure have been characterized for the AC and the AC + ART states. The as forged-state shows YS from 900 MPa to 1000 MPa, UTS from 1350 MPa to 1500 MPa and impact toughness from 15 J to 25 J. Through the formation of nanostructured retained metastable austenite an increase in impact toughness was achieved with values from 80 J to 100 J dependent on the chemical composition.

Influence of quenching temperature and cooling speed on the structures and properties of cast Fe-B-C alloy containing more than 1.0%B and lower than 0.2%C was researched. The results showed that the structures of Fe-B-C cast alloy changed from a great of pearlite + a small of martensite 􀄗 a great of martensite + a small of pearlite 􀄗 martensite and the hardness increased with the increase of quenching cooling speed. In the condition of water cooling, higher or lower quenching temperatures were not advantageous to obtaining single martensite. Quenching at 950~1000oC, cast Fe-B-C alloy could obtain the compound structures of fine lath martensite. The hardness and impact toughness of cast Fe-B-C alloy excelled 55HRC and 15J/cm2 respectively.

AbstractCircle quenching and tempering (CQ&T), intercritical quenching and tempering (IQ&T) and regular quenching and tempering (Q&T) were used to study the influence of heat treatment techniques on the low temperature impact toughness of steel EQ70 for offshore structure. The steels with 2.10 wt. % Ni (steel A) and 1.47 wt. % Ni (steel B) were chosen to analyze the effect of Ni content on the low temperature impact toughness of steel EQ70 for offshore structure. The fracture morphologies were examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM, JSM-6480LV), and microstructures etched by 4 vol. % nitric acid were observed on a type 9XB-PC optical microscope. The results show that the impact toughness of steel A is higher than that of steel B at the same test temperature and heat treatment technique. For steel B, the energy absorbed is, in descending order, CQ&T, Q&T and IQ&T, while for steel A, that is CQ&T, IQ&T and Q&T. The effects of heat treatment on the low temperature impact toughness are different for steels A and B, the absorbed energy changes more obviously for steel A. The results can be significant references for actual heat treatment techniques in steel plant.

(Cr, Fe)7C3/[Formula: see text]-Fe composite layer has been in situ synthesized on a low carbon steel surface by vacuum electron beam VEB irradiation. The synthesized samples were then subdued to different heat treatments to improve their impaired impact toughness. The microstructure, impact toughness and wear resistance of the heat-treated samples were studied by means of optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), microhardness tester, impact test machine and tribological tester. After heat treatment, the primary and eutectic carbides remained in their original shape and size, and a large number of secondary carbides precipitated in the iron matrix. Since the Widmanstatten ferrite in the heat affected zone (HAZ) transformed to fine ferrite completely, the impact toughness of the heat-treated samples increased significantly. The microhardness of the heat-treated samples decreased slightly due to the decreased chromium content in the iron matrix. The wear resistance of 1000[Formula: see text]C and 900[Formula: see text]C heat-treated samples was almost same with the as-synthesized sample. While the wear resistance of the 800[Formula: see text]C heat-treated one decreased slightly because part of the austenite matrix had transformed to ferrite matrix, which reduced the bonding of carbides particulates.
