Linepipe Steel

Non-isothermal austenite grain growth kinetics under the influence of several combinations of Nb, Ti and Mo containing complex precipitates has been studied in a microalloyed linepipe steel. The goal of these studies is the development of a grain growth model to predict the austenite grain size in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ). A detailed electron microscopic investigations of the as-received steel proved the presence of Ti-rich, Nb-rich and Mo-rich precipitates. Inter and intragranular precipitates of ~5-150 nm have been observed. The steel has been subjected to austenitizing heat treatments to selected peak temperatures of 950, 1150 and 1350°C at various heating rates of 10, 100 and 1000°C/s. Thermal cycles have been found to have a strong effect on the final austenite grain size. The increase in heating rate from 100 to 1000°C/s has a negligible difference in the austenite grain size irrespective of the austenitizing temperature. However, the increase in grain size has been noticed at 10°C/s heating rate for all the austenitizing temperatures. The austenite grain growth kinetics have been explained taking into account the austenite growth in the presence of precipitates.

Austenitic Grain Size

In the present time there is a clear effort to achieve the most exact mathematical description of the behaviour of “Hi-tech” materials when exposed to temperature and stress loading. Besides the common numerically predicted values such as temperature, deformation and stress fields, or as the case may be structure changes during phase transformations, demands for prediction of the austenitic grain size in HAZ of welds become more and more frequent. That is why the present submission deals with the analysis of the determination of the grain size and grain growth kinetics of HR3C single-phase austenitic steel using the Monte Carlo Potts method. The procedure of obtaining the input data for numerical simulations will be demonstrated on HR3C steel, including the determination of grain growth kinetics and definition of all the parameters needed for a computational model. Results from the numerical simulation in Sysweld program will be then compared against the real experiment for a multi-layered weld made on HR3C tube.

Grain Boundary Movement

The statistical model of grain growth is able to predict the effect of Zener drag on the grain size distribution evolution and on grain growth kinetics [1, 2]. This paper, in the same framework, will treat the case of atoms drag on grain boundary movement. The mechanism by which atoms drag operates is significantly different by that of Zener. The corresponding peculiar features will result in a specific grain size distribution evolution with considerable change of grain growth kinetics and distribution shape from that of normal grain growth case as a function of the intensity of the pinning conditions.

Linepipe Steel

Non-isothermal austenite grain growth kinetics has been studied in a microalloyed linepipe steel with complex precipitates containing Ti, Nb and/or Mo. The goal of these experimental studies is to provide the basis for the development of a grain growth model to predict the austenite grain size evolution in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ). Detailed electron microscopic investigations of the as received steel proved the presence of Ti-rich, Nb-rich and Mo-rich precipitates. The steel was subjected to austenitizing heat treatments to selected peak temperatures of 950, 1150 and 1350 °C at heating rates of 10, 100 and 1000 °C/s, respectively. Thermal cycles have been found to have a strong effect on the austenite grain size. Austenite grain sizes increase with peak temperature and decreasing heating rate. However, the increase in heating rate from 100 to 1000 °C/s has a negligible effect on the austenite grain size. The observed austenite grain growth kinetics can be explained taking into account the potential dissolution of Nb-rich precipitates.

Grain Growth Kinetics

The recrystallization behavior, grain growth kinetics, and corresponding hardness variation of homogenized and 80% cold-rolled FeCoNiCrPd, FeCoNiCrMn, and their quaternary/ternary FCC-structured high/medium entropy alloys (H/MEAs) annealed under different conditions were investigated. Experimental results indicate that the grain size and hardness of these H/MEAs follow the Hall–Petch equation, with the Hall–Petch coefficient KH value being mainly dominated by the alloy’s stacking fault energy and shear modulus. The FeCoNiCrPd alloy exhibits the highest hardness of the H/MEAs at the same grain size due to the largest Young’s modulus difference between Cr and Pd. The grain growth exponent n, kinetic constant k, and activation energy for grain growth QG of all H/MEAs are calculated. The k can be expressed by the Arrhenius equation with QG, which is attributed to the diffusion rate. The results demonstrate that the QG values of these H/MEAs are much higher than those of conventional alloys; most notable is FeCoNiCrPd HEA, which has an unusually lattice distortion effect that hinders grain growth.

Two different effects need to be considered in the sintering: (i) The densification should be maximum, to optimize the energy product BHmax and the remanence, however, (ii) the .grain size should be small, in order to maximize the coercivity. Grain growth takes place during the sintering step of the magnets, usually performed at the range 1000-1100°C. In this study, the grain growth kinetics is investigated. Samples of NdPrFeB magnets (proportion 3 Nd : 1 Pr) were heat treated at the temperature of 1050 °C, for times between 1 to 12 hours. The knowledge of the grain growth and coarsening kinetics allows extrapolation to other temperatures, and this information is helpful to maximize coercivity and remanence at the same time.

The grain growth kinetics of nanocrystalline copper thin film samples was investigated. The grain size of nanocrystalline copper samples was determined from the broadening of X-ray spectra. It was found that the grain size increased linearly with isothermal annealing time within the first 10 minutes, beyond which power-law growth kinetics is applied. The activation energy for grain growth was determined by constructing an Arrhenius plot, which shows an activation energy of about 21 – 30 kJ/mol. The low activation energy is attributed to the second phase particle drag and the porosity drag, which act as the pinning force for grain growth in nanocrystalline copper.
