The dilatometer curves of continuous cooling transformation of 12Mn steel were measured with Formastor-FⅡthermal mechanical simulator.The steel's undercooled austenite phase continuous cooling transformation curves ( CCT curves) were established by means of the dilatometer method and the metallographic-hardness measurement method. The effect of cooling rate on microstructure and hardness of the steel was studied. CCT curve of test steel was simulated by JMatPro. The results show that the Ac1 and Ac3 of the experimental steel are 692 ℃ and 855 ℃ ; the microstructure obtained is made of ferrite,pearlite and bainite.The ferrite transformation and pearlite transformation occur at a slower cooling rate,in which the ferrite is dominant. When the cooling rate is greater than 4.25 ℃ / s bainite transformation happens.As the cooling rate increases,microstructure or grains become finer.The hardness of the tested steel with increasing cooling rate shows a trend of first fast increase and soon decrease.The simulation results are consistent with the measured CCT law. The high temperature mechanical properties of 12mn steel round billet were tested by gleeble-1500d thermal / mechanical simulator. The tensile strength, reduction of area and stress-strain curves of the billet were obtained in the range of 600-1300 ℃.

The oxidation resistance and high temperature mechanical properties of FeCrNi heat-resisting steel are analyzed and studied. The results show that the oxidation resistance of the heat-resisting steel is improved remarkably after adding RE. The value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 (without adding RE) is 1.71 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1423K. And the value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 is 1.4 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1473K. The fracture mode of heat-resisting stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The high temperature mechanical properties of heat-resisting steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with heat-resisting stainless steel without RE, the reduction of area of heat-resisting stainless steel with RE is increased 26.27% at 1123K.

The expansion curves of the continuous cooling transformation of undercooled austenite of SXQ500/550DZ35 hydropower steel at different heating temperatures and cooling rates were measured by use of a DIL805A dilatometer. Combined with metallography and Vickers hardness measurement, the continuous cooling transformation diagrams (CCT) of the studied steel under two different states were determined. The results show that in the first group of tests, after the hot-rolled specimens were austenitized at 920 °C, when the cooling rate was below 1 °C·s−1, the microstructure was composed of ferrite (F), pearlite (P) and bainite (B). With the cooling rates between 1 °C·s−1 and 5 °C·s−1, the microstructure was mainly bainite, and martensite (M) formed as the cooling rate reached 5 °C·s−1. When the cooling rate was up to 10 °C·s−1, the microstructure was completely martensite and the hardness value increased significantly. In the second group of tests, after the hot-rolled specimens were quenched at 920 °C and then heated at an intercritical temperature of 830 °C, in comparison with the first group of tests, and except for additional undissolved ferrites in each cooling rate range, the other microstructure types were basically the same. Due to the existence of undissolved ferrite, the microstructures of the specimens heated at intercritical temperatures were much finer, and the toughness values at low temperatures were better.

The dilatation curves of continuous cooling transformation at different cooling rates were determined for U75V rail steel by THERMECMASTOR-Z thermal simulator, and continuous cooling transformation curve was obtained. The influence of cooling rate on microstructure and hardness was studied. The softening behavior after isothermal deformation in the austenite region 850-1000°C but before the second pass was also studied by double-pass compression tests. The results show that the product of austenite decomposition was pearlite when the cooling rate was lower than 10°C. Troostite and martensite were gained at the cooling rate of 10°C•s-1. Only martensite was obtained when the cooling rate was in the range of 10-50°C•s-1. The hardness of the steel increased with the increase of cooling rate. Under the condition of 30% deformation and 3s-1 deformation rate, the relaxation time for completing recrystallization was shorter than 100s when the deformation temperature was higher than 1000°C. When the deformation temperature was lower than 880°C, full recrystallization was difficult to achieve even if the relaxation time was extended.

The continuous cooling transformation behaviors were researched on X70 pipeline steel through two pass deformation and non-deformed austenite using Gleeble-3500 thermal mechanical simulator, and static continuous cooling transformation curve and dynamic continuous cooling transformation curve were measured through thermal dilation method and metallographic method. The influence of cooling rate and deformation parameters on microstructure was analyzed. The results show that the hot deformation accelerates the acicular ferrite and polygonal ferrite phase transformation, increases the starting transformation temperature and the finishing transformation temperature significantly, and shifts the CCT curve moving upward to the left side corner. Acicular ferrite is obtained in practice using accelerated cooling rate after deformation Acicular ferrite can be obtained in wider range of cooling rates, and microstructure and island structure is finer through hot deformation.

In this study, high-temperature tensile tests were carried out on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator under a strain rate of ε = 1 × 10−3 s−1 in the temperature range of 600–1310 °C. The hot deformation process of Fe–15.3Mn–0.58C–2.3Al TWIP/TRIP at different temperatures was studied. In the whole tested temperature range, the reduction of area ranged from 47.3 to 89.4% and reached the maximum value of 89.4% at 1275 °C. Assuming that 60% reduction of area is relative ductility trough, the high-temperature ductility trough was from 1275 °C to the melting point temperature, the medium-temperature ductility trough was 1000–1250 °C, and the low-temperature ductility trough was around 600 °C. The phase transformation process of the steel was analyzed by Thermo-Calc thermodynamics software. It was found that ferrite transformation occurred at 646 °C, and the austenite was softened by a small amount of ferrite, resulting in the reduction of thermoplastic and formation of the low-temperature ductility trough. However, the small difference in thermoplasticity in the low-temperature ductility trough was attributed to the small amount of ferrite and the low transformation temperature of ferrite. The tensile fracture at different temperatures was characterized by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that there were Al2O3, AlN, MnO, and MnS(Se) impurities in the fracture. The abnormal points of thermoplasticity showed that the inclusions had a significant effect on the high-temperature mechanical properties. The results of EBSD local orientation difference analysis showed that the temperature range with good plasticity was around 1275 °C. Under large deformation extent, the phase difference in the internal position of the grain was larger than that in the grain boundary. The defect density in the grain was large, and the high dislocation density was the main deformation mechanism in the high-temperature tensile process.

According to continuous cooling transformation curve of pinion steel, heat treatment simulation tests of 8 series were developed. The results show that the microstructure of pinion steel depends on the cooling rate after normalizing. Furnace cooling according to 30°C/h after normalizing can get the typical F+P organizations; Converter cooling after normalizing mixed with some bainite organizations; Furnace cooling with the break after normalizing can get clear stripped bainite organizations.

It is expected that silicon nitride based ceramics will be used as high-temperature structural components. Though much progress has been made in both processing techniques and microstructural control, the mechanical properties required have not yet been achieved. It is thought that the high-temperature mechanical properties of Si3N4 are limited largely by the secondary glassy phases present at triple points. These are due to various oxide additives used to promote liquid-phase sintering. Therefore, many attempts have been performed to crystallize these second phase glassy pockets in order to improve high temperature properties. In addition to the glassy or crystallized second phases at triple points a thin amorphous film exists at two-grain junctions. This thin film is found even in silicon nitride formed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) without additives. It has been proposed by Clarke that an amorphous film can exist at two-grain junctions with an equilibrium thickness.
