Abstract The effect of the morphology and the martensite volume fraction on the microhardness, the tensile, the friction and the wear behavior of API X52 dual phase (DP) steel has been investigated. Three different heat treatments were used to develop dual phase steel with different morphologies and with different amounts of martensite: Intermediate Quenching Treatment/Water (IQ); Step Quenching Treatment (SQ) and direct quenching (DQ). Tribological tests are conducted on DP steels using a ball-on-disc configuration under normal load of 5 N and at a sliding speed of 4 cm/s were used to study the friction and wear behavior of treated samples. Results show that the ferrite–martensite morphology has a great influence on the mechanical properties of dual phase steel. The steel subjected to (IQ) treatment attain superior mechanical properties compared to the SQ and the DQ treatments. On the other hand, it is also found that the friction coefficient and the wear rate (volume loss) decrease when the hardness and the martensite volume fraction increase. The steel with fine fibrous martensite provide good wear resistance.

The present article is aimed at studying the austenite transformation kinetics and tensile properties of constructional 0.2 wt%C-Si2Mn2CrMoVNb TRIP-assisted steel subjected to isothermal holding in the subcritical temperature range (350-650 °C with the step of 50 °C) after intercritical annealing at 770 °C. The study was fulfilled using optical microscopy (OLYMPUS GX-71), electron scanning microscopy (JEOL JSM-), dilatometric analysis, tensile testing, Vickers hardness measurements. The critical temperatures of the steel were found to be Ac1=750-760 °C and Ac3=930 °C. The results showed that austenite demonstrated increased stability to pearlite and bainite transformations with an incubation period of decades of seconds at any of the mentioned temperatures. The bainitizing treatment at 400 °C with holding of 300-600 s resulted in ferrite/bainite/retained austenite structure with precipitates of nanosized carbide (V,Nb)C providing an improved combination of mechanical properties as compared to direct quenching (YS=548-555 MPa, UTS=908-1000 MPa, total elongation=16-18 %, PSE index=14.6-18.0 GPa%, YS/UTS ratio=0.55-0.60). The contributions of different strengthening components were estimated in order to reveal the benefits of a multi-phase microstructure for constructional applications.

Optimum Reaction

The introduction of elastomeric substances between the cellulose fibrils and/or histological elements of cotton fibers could lead to wrinkle-resistant cottons. Such substances, polyenes obtained by polymerization in situ after inclusion within the structure, are unable to penetrate the intermolecular structure, but are able to link together the elements of the fiber. This might result in a fiber with greater delayed elastic recovery and reduced permanent set, permitting wrinkle recovery of cotton fabrics to be increased. The study of optimum reaction parameters resulted in a reproducible process for including the polymer. The location of the polymer has been determined through the development of a new method for revealing the structure of cellulose. The desired mechanical properties of woven treated fabrics are improved, as indicated by various measurements. The first results concerning single fibers seem to corroborate the preceding.

Sintering Method

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) reinforced iron aluminides (Fe3Al) intermetallic matrix composites have been prepared by a conventional (hot pressing) sintering method. Morphological, structural, compositional and mechanical properties investigations have been performed. Compressive testing shows that the composites still display high yield strength. The first results show that carbon nanotubes have been preserved in composite structure during the sintering process.

China Low Activation Martensitic (CLAM) steel has been chosen as the structural material for China ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM). Creep-rupture and fatigue damage caused by high temperature and pulse stresses are two key issues for the final application of CLAM steel in China ITER TBM. In this paper, the research and development progress of the creep and fatigue behaviors of CLAM steel were presented. These results showed that CLAM steel possessed good high temperature mechanical properties.

Reheat Quenching

The effects of direct quenching and tempering (DQ-T) process and conventional reheat quenching and tempering (RQ-T) processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a high strength low alloy steel were investigated. In the as-quenched DQ steel, prior austenite grains are elongated parallel to the rolling direction, whereas the as-quenched RQ steel mainly consists of equiaxed grains; The DQ process was found to enhance the hardenability of steel effectively. The tensile strength and yield strength of DQ specimen, were higher than that of RQ specimen. In contrast, low temperature toughness of DQ-T specimen was generally inferior to that of RQ-T specimen.
