Effect of Cold Rolling on the Microstructure and Mechanical Behaviors of High-Nitrogen and Low-Nickel Alloy

The effects of different cold rolling deformations on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high nitrogen and low nickel alloys were investigated. The microstructure of high nitrogen alloys with different rolling deformations were characterized by EBSD and TEM. The tensile mechanical properties of the high nitrogen alloys at room temperature were tested. The results showed that the microstructure of the cold rolled high nitrogen alloy with deformation of 0% to 70% shows a twinning process. The twin thickness of the high nitrogen alloy without deformation is micron degree. When the rolling deformation is over 50%, the average thickness of the deformation twin is 23nm. When the rolling deformation increases to 70%, the average thickness of the twin is 14nm. When the rolling deformation increases from 0% to 70%, the cold rolled high nitrogen alloy exhibits high strength (1001-2236 MPa) and excellent plasticity (5.9%-64.1%). It is beneficial to have a good combination of strength and plasticity after rolling deformation.

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Precipitation Behavior and Hardness of the Second Phase of 0Cr21Mn17Mo3N0.8 High Nitrogen Alloys

The effects of different heat treatment processes on the morphology, quantity and size of the precipitated nitrides phase of 0Cr21Mn17Mo3N0.8 high nitrogen alloy were studied. The microstructure of the alloy was observed and characterized by metallographic microscope, transmission electron microscope, etc. And the hardness of high nitrogen alloy under different treatment processes were tested. The results showed that sample alloy was cooling in the furnace after heat preservation of 1140°C for 8h. Lamellar nitride is precipitated from the alloy, its composition is Cr2N, its size is about 50-100nm, and the precipitation process mainly occurs 1-2mm below the surface layer. This can make the alloys to form surface-reinforced composites. Meanwhile, the hardness of the alloy has increased significantly from 29.3HRC to 61.3HRC, because of the precipitation of the second phase. The high nitrogen alloys after slow cooling treatment were treated with spheroidization at the temperature lower than that of the complete austenitizing, and the layered deposition began fusing at 950°C. Under the temperature of 1120°C heat preservation for 8h, then water quenching, slice layer deposition completely dissolved into granule, and the particle size is about 20nm to 50nm, the alloy of hardness after spheroidizing has decreased to 48.3HRC.

One-Step Method of Carbon Thermal Reduction and Nitride to Produce Vanadium Nitrogen Alloy

Keywords: vanadium pentoxide；carbon black；reduction and nitridation；vanadium nitrogen alloy. Abstract. The V2O5 extracted from low vanadium shale and carbon black are used as raw materials to prepare briquetting samples through mixing, grinding and pressing. The samples are prereduced, final reduced and nitrated to produce vanadium nitrogen alloy with high nitrogen content. Thermodynamic analysis and experiment results show that：（1）In order to avoid V2O5 volatilization loss during reduction, the briquetting samples should be pre-reduced for 4 hours below the melting point 670°C of V2O5, which can transform V2O5 into low valence vanadium oxide.（2）During V2O5 being self-reduction under N2 atmosphere, if the final reduction temperature is below 1271°C, the VN is preferential formation; if more than 1271°C, the reduced product forms V4C3.（3）To make a product with high nitrogen and low carbon content, the final reduction and nitride temperature should be controlled below 1300°C.

Development of Low Carbon High Strength H-Beam Steel

The application of vanadium-nitrogen alloy to develop a certain low carbon high strength H-beam steel was determined through the combination of theoretical study, product requirements and existing practical conditions. The specific rolling process was further defined through laboratory experiments. The developed low carbon high strength H-beam steel was trial produced and its properties were also analyzed. The results showed that the newly developed low carbon high strength H-beam steel had excellent mechanical properties and good weldability.

Structural properties of amorphous aluminum and aluminum-nitrogen alloys. Computer simulations

Liquid and amorphous metallic systems have proven difficult to model. Some efforts have relied on the use of parameterized classical potentials of the Lennard-Jones type or geometric hard sphere simulations, but first principles approaches have been rarely used. Clearly a knowledge of atomic structures is paramount for calculating physical properties. In this work we apply our recently developed ab initio DFT approach (A. A. Valladares et al., Eur. Phys. J. 22 (2001) 443) for the generation of amorphous semiconducting materials, to amorphize aluminum and an aluminum-nitrogen alloy. We report radial distribution functions (RDFs) and specific atomic structures of periodic amorphous/liquid cubic supercells of 108 atoms with a volume of (12.1485 Å)3, generated using the Harris functional.
