A microstructure consisted of granular bainite, upper bainite, acicular ferrite, polygonal ferrite, and a little of pearlite was obtained by controlling rolling and cooling in marine steel. The grain size of the two steels was refined to 5-9 μm. The size of the MA island was about 3-6 μm. Both steels had higher tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness, and the performance of steel B was better than that of steel A. Both steels exhibited large and deep dimples at -80 °C impact fracture. The longitudinal impact energy of the specimens was above 250J, and the steel B even exceeded 300J. Its longitudinal impact performance was better than lateral impact performance. Both steels had achieved good performance due to fine grain strengthening, MA island strengthening, precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening caused by controlled rolling and cooling. The alloying element nickel effectively improved the low temperature impact toughness of the experimental steel. Excellent impact energy of both steels was attributed to higher texture strength for RD specimens.

The effect of different welding methods on joints’ microstructure and properties of A240-S32205 duplex stainless steel was studied. The result showed all joints using GTAW and SMAW can attain good phase ratio and corrosion resistance. But the comprehensive mechanical characteristics of joint using GTAW was better than that of SMAW joint with acid electrode. Besides, the low temperature impact performance was not ideal in joints manual welded with acid electrode. The HAZ was identified as a weak zone where the corrosion resistance was the worst and in which the third detrimental metallic phase was more liable to emerge than in weld zone.

The impact performance of ZnAl27Cu2.5MgMn alloy from room Temperature to 2500 °C has been investigated by pendulum impact testing. The surface morphology of impact fracture is observed by scan electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that impact energy of the alloy decreases as the temperature increases when the temperatures are lower than 100°C. Between 100°C and 200°C, impact energy increases as the temperature increases. And when the temperature exceeds 250°C, impact energy decreases dramatically. Impact energy gets to the maximum at room temperature. Impact behavior of the alloy can be evaluated by the width of impact spectrum curve. The wider the peak of impact spectrum curve, the higher the impact toughness. Whereas impact toughness is worse if peak is narrow.

The demand for heat-resistant steel has increased owing to its utility in numerous devices that must withstand high steam pressures and high temperatures, such as turbine rotors and blades in ultra-supercritical power plants. It is inevitable to join heat-resistance steel part by welding method, so it is important to maintain the toughness of the weld metals. In this study, the microstructure, low-temperature impact toughness, and fracture surface of as-welded and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V weld metal were investigated. The microstructures of the as-welded and PWHT specimens are granular bainite and ferrite, respectively. This work revealed the relationship between effective microstructure nearby crack initiation origin and low temperature impact toughness for both the as-welded and PWHT specimens. The evolution of the microstructure and prior austenite was then investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to observe the formation of coarse ferrite grain structures. A suggestion for enhancing the low-temperature toughness was provided based on the effect of adjusting Mn content and forming acicular ferrite.

High performancesteels (HPS) require low yield ratio, high uniform elongation and high low temperature impact toughness in addition to higher strength. In this paper,experimental steelswere produced by controlled rolling and tempering to meet high performance requirements. Itwasconcluded that experimental steels by controlled rolling and tempering had similar performance with quenched and tempered steel (QT).

In this research, trace boron (4ppm, 8ppm, 11ppm) was added into the Nb-added HSLA H-beams. The impact toughness of H-beams with/without boron was examined by Charpy impact test (V-notch). The morphologies of the microstructure and the fracture surfaces of the impact specimens were observed by metalloscope, stereomicroscope and electron probe. The experimental results prove that the absorbed impact energy at -40°C for the 4ppm, 8ppm, 11ppm boron-added steels respectively reaches up to 80J, 126J, 85J from 15J and H-beams with boron have a lower FATT than that without boron. It is also found that the total oxygen content affects the absorbed impact energy to a certain extent. It is discovered by transmission electron microscope (TEM) that boron mainly exists in solid solution state, except that a little amount of Fe23(C, B)6is formed at the grain boundaries, and the distribution of Nb(C, N) is also influenced by boron addition.

Two kinds of industry trial X90 pipeline steels which have different chemical composition were chosen as test objects, and the grain coarsening, microstructural characteristics and the variation rules of low-temperature impact toughness in weld CGHAZ of this two steel under different welding heat input were studied by physical thermal simulation technology, SEM, optical microscope and Charpy impact tests. The results showed that the microstructure in weld CGHAZ of 1# steel was mainly bainite ferrite (BF) and most of the M/A constituents were blocky or short rod-like; the grains of 2# steel were coarse and there was much granular bainite (GB). Meanwhile M/A constituents became coarser and their morphology changed from block to long bar; alloy content of X90 pipeline steel under different weld heat input had great effect on the grain size of original austenite. When heat input was lower than 20KJ/cm, the impact toughness in CGHAZ of lower alloy content pipeline steel was good; as heat input increased, impact toughness in CGHAZ of 1# steel increased to the values between 260J and 300J when heat input was between 20KJ/cm and 25KJ/cm and the dispersion of impact energy was small. The impact toughness of 2# steel decreased gradually and the impact energy had the obvious dispersion.

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.

Abstract Three steels were designed based on HSLA-100 with additional levels of Mn, Ni, Cr and Cu. The steels were prepared by controlled rolling and tempered at temperatures in range of 550–700°C. The continuous cooling time curves were shifted to longer times and lower temperatures with the increased tendency for the formation of martensite at lower cooling rates. The microstructures revealed that controlled rolling results in austenite with uniform fine grain structure. The steel with the highest amount of Mn showed the greatest strength after tempering at 750 °C. The top strength was attributed to the formation of Cu-rich particles. The steel with 1.03 wt.% Mn, tempered at 650 °C exhibited the best Charpy impact toughness at –85°C. On the other hand, the steel that contained 2.11 wt.% Mn and tempered at 700 °C showed the highest yield strength of 1 097.5 MPa (∼159 ksi) and an impact toughness of 41.6 J at –85°C.
