Development of Ultrafine Lamellar Ferrite and Austenite Duplex Structure in 0.2C5Mn Steel during ART-annealing

چکیده
The microstructural evolution of Fe–0.2C–5Mn steel during intercritical annealing with holding time for up to 144 hours was examined by TEM and STEM. It was demonstrated by TEM that the martensite lath structure gradually transformed into a lamellar ferrite and austenite duplex structure. The partitioning of manganese from ferrite to austenite was found by STEM. Typical Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship between austenite lath and ferrite lath was observed by electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). Based on the analysis of the austenite lath thckening behavior, it was proposed that the Mn-partitioning in austenite dominated the microstructure evolution of the ultrafine lamellar ferrite and austenite duplex structure during annealing process.

This study investigated the microstructures of pearlite and martensite transformed from ultrafine-grained austenite in 0.45C steel and Vadded 0.45C steel. The mean prior austenite grain sizes were refined to be 4.5 μm in the 0.45C specimen and 2.4 μm in the V-added 0.45C specimen through cyclic heat treatment of austenitizing and water quenching, i.e., repetition of martensite § austenite trans...

κ-carbide hardening in a ferrite-austenite duplex low-density FeMnAlC steel has been investigated as a function of annealing processing within the temperature range 500−900 o C. Below 600 o C, a high hardness can be attained by the fine microstructures, e.g. the thin lamellar κ-carbides in austenite and dispersed nanosized particulate κ-carbides in ferrite. After further annealing, the alloy so...
متن کاملEffect of Thermomechanical Processing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Duplex Stainless Steel
Duplex stainless steels (DSSS) have a microstructure composed of ferrite and austenite phases that gives them a very good combination of mechanical and corrosion properties. These steels are desirable for many applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries. In the present study, a type of stainless steel was cast, solution annealed at 1200°C for 60 min and then quenched in water. Ini...
