A kind of 1000MPa low carbon bainitic steel belonged to the Fe-Cu-Nb series was hot rolled and aged, the influence of aging temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel were investigated by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that the microstructure of the low carbon bainitic steel consisted of lath-shaped bainite(LB), granular bainite(GB) and quasi-polygonal ferrite(QF), and the proportion of each kind of microstructure changed with the aging temperatures. The strength of steel with the increase of aging temperature first increased, then decreased, Aging temperatures had distinct effect on yield strength of the tested steel, and less effect on the ultimate tensile strength, we can get the best comprehensive properties yield strength 1011.87 MPa and elongation rate 16.38% of good tough match aged at 450°C. Through analysis it is concluded that the strength of the tested steels aged at 450°C reaches the maximum value, which is attributed to the precipitation of a large amount of fine ε-Cu particles(5~10nm) and a small number of(Nb,Ti)(C,N) precipitates.

Strength Improvement

The effect of 0.06%Nb on the microstructure and mechanical properties of grain boundary allotriomorphic ferrite (FGBA) / granular bainite (Bg) air-cooling bainitic steels has been investigated in this paper. The results indicate that the steel acquires superior mechanical properties by adding 0.06%Nb. Compared with Non-Nb steel, the addition of 0.06%Nb increases the tensile strength and yield strength about 37.1% (From 780MPa to 1070MPa)and 26.6%(From 557MPa to 705MPa) respectively, remaining 18.3% elongation and 97J toughness. The addition of 0.06%Nb not only promotes the nucleation of intragranular ferrite but also refines the allotriomorphic ferrite grain , both of which in turn contribute to the refinement of granular bainite cluster including its ferrite platelets and M-A islands. Under the synthetic roles of the microstructure refinement and precipitation strengthening, 148MPa yield strength improvement has been acquired in the low carbon air-cooling bainitic steel by the adding of 0.06%Nb.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

In the present study, the effects of ausforming on the bainitic transformation, microstructure and mechanical properties of a low-carbon rich-silicon carbide-free bainitic steel have been investigated. Results show that prior ausforming shortens both the incubation period and finishing time of bainitic transformation during isothermal treatment at a temperature slightly above the Mspoint. The thicknesses of bainitic ferrite laths are reduced appreciably by ausforming; however, ausforming increases the amount of large blocks of retained austenite/martenisite and decreases the volume fraction of retained austenite. And accordingly, ausforming gives rise to significant increases in both yield and tensile strengths, but causes noticeable decreases in ductility and impact toughness.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The influence of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon low alloy steel was investigated. The results show that tempering temperature has considerable influence on both yield strength and tensile strength. With the increase in tempering temperature, the yield strength increases first and then decreases after it reaches the highest point at 600°C with a strength of 843MPa, while the tensile strength decreases fastly from 550°C to 650°C and keeps stable after increasing drastically at 720°C. The yield ratio is about 0.60 except at 600°C and 650°C with a high yield ratio of 0.90, while the total elongation has little change. It is concluded that the major change of mechanical properties after tempering has a connection with the decomposition of M/A(martensite/austenite) islands, the recovery of dislocations and the precipitation of alloy elements.
