The high strength aerospace steel alloyed with Cr, Mn, Si, Ni, W and Mo was studied. The austenite transformations under continuous cooling conditions were investigated using the dilatometer analysis at the cooling rates 0.1...30 °C/s. The mechanical properties of the studied steel were determined after the conventional quenching and tempering heat treatment. The dependences of the mechanical properties on the tempering temperature were obtained. The novel quenching and partitioning heat treatment was applied to the steel under consideration. The microstructure and the mechanical properties were studied after three different modes of the quenching and partitioning (QP) treatment: single-stage QP, two-stage QP and single-stage QP with subsequent tempering (QPT).

In order to obtain high-strength and high-ductility Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloys, the present research is focused on optimizing the composition of soluble phases, the structure and morphology of insoluble phases, and artificial ageing processes. The results show that the best matches, 0.4 wt% Mg and 1.2 wt% Cu in the Al–9Si alloy, avoided the toxic effect of the blocky Al2Cu on the mechanical properties of the alloy. The addition of 0.6 wt% Zn modified the morphology of eutectic Si from coarse particles to fine fibrous particles and the texture of Fe-rich phases from acicular β-Fe to blocky π-Fe in the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy. With the optimization of the heat treatment parameters, the spherical eutectic Si and the fully fused β-Fe dramatically improved the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture. Compared with the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy, the 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy not only increased the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture of peak ageing but also reduced the time of peak ageing. The following improved combination of higher tensile strength and higher elongation was achieved for 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy by double-stage ageing: 100 °C × 3 h + 180 °C × 7 h, with mechanical properties of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of ~371 MPa, yield strength (YS) of ~291 MPa, and elongation to fracture (E%) of ~5.6%.

This study considers the influence of various heat treatment conditions on the change of steel microstructure parameters, mechanical properties and cold resistance at a temperature of-60 °C. The common behavior of these properties is considered depending on the heating temperature used for quenching and subsequent tempering. Based on the obtained results, heat treatment conditions are proposed that provide a combination of a guaranteed yield point σ0.2 ≥600 N/mm2 with a low-temperature impact toughness KCV-60 ≥50 J/cm2 and plasticity δ5 ≥17%. The obtained research results are intended for industrial use at the mill "5000" site of MMK PJSC.

The paper presents a research on the influence of multistage heat treatment with the assumed parameters of temperature and time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-chromium martensitic GX12CrMoVNbN9-1 (GP91) cast steel. In the as-cast state GP91 cast steel was characterized by a microstructure of lath martensite with numerous precipitations of carbides of the M23C6, M3C and NbC type, with its properties higher than the required minimum. Hardening of the examined cast steel contributes to obtaining a microstructure of partly auto-tempered martensite of very high strength properties and impact strength KV on the level of 9-15 J. Quenching and tempering with subsequent stress relief annealing of GP91 cast steel contributed to obtaining the microstructure of high-tempered lath martensite with numerous precipitations of the M23C6 and MX type of diverse size. The microstructure of GP91 cast steel received after heat treatment was characterized by strength properties (yield strength, tensile strength) higher than the required minimum and a very high impact energy KV. It has been proved that GP91 cast steel subject to heat treatment No. 2 as a result of two-time heating above the Ac3 temperature is characterized by the highest impact energy.

A study of the high-strength HY-TUF steel applied for the manufacturing of heavy loaded parts was carried out. The mechanical properties of the austempered HY-TUF steel were compared to the characteristics obtained after the conventional oil quenching and tempering. The upper bainite with low impact strength was formed during the austempering at 400 °C and higher. Conventional oil quenching and tempering at temperature 400...500 °С also led to the embrittlement of the steel under consideration. The best combination of toughness and strength of the HY-TUF steel was achieved after the austempering at the temperature of lower bainite formation.

The work covers the effect of niobium, as well as niobium and vanadium together, on mechanical properties of high-strength chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel after thermal improvement (heat treatment). The mechanical properties of steels are determined after applying various tempering temperatures (from 580 to 660°C), durations of tempering (from 1 to 16 hours), and also after quenching from rolling heat and furnace heat with subsequent tempering. It is shown that after quenching and tempering in the temperature range 580– 660°C, simultaneous microalloying by niobium and vanadium, compared to microalloying by niobium alone, increases the yield strength but in significantly decreases toughness and ductility. Quenching from rolling heat increases strength while maintaining high toughness and the increase in strength is most noticeable for steel microalloyed only by niobium.

In this paper, first, based on the employing environment and properties requirement of offshore platform, the influence of various alloying elements on the performance of steel was analyzed and chemical composition of a new ultra-high-strength alloy steel was designed. Then, the designed alloy steel specimen has been prepared using intermediate frequency induction furnace. Austenization temperature of the steel was determined through thermal dilatometer. The effects of quenching and tempering process on microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel were studied by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), durometer and universal material tensile tester. The research results indicated that the casting microstructure of the designed steel was a duplex structure of martensite and acicular bainite. The austenitizing onset temperature (Ac1) and termination temperature (Ac3) was 700°C and 790°C, respectively. With the increase of the austenitizing temperature, the hardness of the steel first increased until it reached the maximum value at 860°C and then decreased above 860°C. Meanwhile, the hardness of the steel decreased with the increasing of the tempering temperature in the range 150°C-500°C. The optimal heat-treatment processes were concluded as follows: heating up to 860°C, quenching by oil, and then tempering at 170°C. The superior mechanical properties of tensile strength of 1400MPa and elongation of 6.5% as well as the microstructure of tempered martensite were obtained after this heat treatment.

A high strength low alloy wear-resistant steel was quenched at 900°C and tempered at varying temperatures. The microstructures were observed utilizing optical and electron microscope. Results show that microstructures consist of predominantly martensite and lots of bainite in the as-quenched specimens. When the specimen was tempered at 250°C, no obvious change in the microstructure was observed. It has an optimized strength and elongation in this condition of heat treatment. With the increase of tempering temperature, the lath or plate of martensite were coalescenced. The strength of the steel is thus greatly reduced and the elongation was accordingly increased.
