Crack Generation in Blast Furnace Slag Bearing High Titanium by Microwave Cyclic Heating

Yan Chen, Etsuko Ishizuka, Noboru Yoshikawa, Shoji Taniguchi

pp. 193-196

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.193

Abstract

In order to facilitate grinding a blast furnace (BF) slag bearing high TiO2 (Ti-BF slag) for extracting CaTiO3 (TiO2 containing phase) from it, microwave (MW) cyclic heating was attempted to induce cracks. In this study, MW heating behavior of Ti-BF slag, general BF slag and sintered perovskite (CaTiO3) body were examined. Under the same heating conditions, Ti-BF slag was heated better than the general BF slag. And the sintered perovskite powder compact was heated best among them. Considering the measured large permittivity of Ti-BF slag, the perovskite phases in the Ti-BF slag are responsible for heating of the whole slag.
Cracks were induced in the Ti-BF slag by cyclic irradiation of MW. They extended and opened as an increase of the cycle number. In order to examine the effect of the induced cracks on the strength of Ti-BF slags, compression test of the specimens was performed after the treatment. It was demonstrated that MW treatment caused reduction in the compressive strength, such that the strength decreased about 35% after 10 cycles of heating for 5 min.
It was also shown that while the treatment with longer heating time caused a smaller decrease in the compressive strength, increasing of cyclic number decreased the strength more effectively.

Effects of N, C and Si Contents and MgO on Dispersion of TiN Particles in Fe–1.5%Mn–0.05(0.15)%C Alloy

Hiroki Ohta, Hideaki Suito

pp. 197-206

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.197

Abstract

The crystallization and precipitation of TiN in an Fe–1.5%Mn–0.05(0.15)%C–0.1%Ti alloy with and without Mg deoxidation have been studied as a function of N (20–130 ppm) and Si (0, 0.5 and 1.1%) contents. The size distribution of TiN particles in the sample of 0.05% C with no Mg deoxidation is bimodal and that in the sample of [%C]=0.15 is a log-normal distribution. This is explained by the difference in the degree of microsegregation which is influenced by the solidification mode. The significant effect of Si on crystallization and precipitation of TiN has not been observed. The number of MgO, TiN+MgO and TiN particles with Mg deoxidation is about two times larger than that of TiN particles with no Mg deoxidation. The number of particles with Mg deoxidation sample at [%C]=0.05 increases gradually with increasing the fraction of solid, but that at [%C]=0.15 increases drastically at interdendritic region.

Mass Spectrometric Study on Phosphorus in Molten Carbon-saturated Iron

Takashi Nagai, Masao Miyake, Yoshitaka Mitsuda, Hisao Kimura, Masafumi Maeda

pp. 207-210

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.207

Abstract

The vapor pressure of phosphorus in molten carbon-saturated iron with phosphorus content of 0.20–0.92 mass% at 1 473–1 673 K was measured by double Knudsen cell mass spectrometry. In the molten carbon-saturated iron, phosphorus behaved according to Henry's law in the composition range. The activity coefficient of phosphorus in this conditions relative to infinite dilute solution, fP, and the interaction parameter of carbon on phosphorus in molten iron, e′PC, were determined to be as follows:
log fP = −300/T+0.82(±0.05), e′PC = 120/T+0.061(±0.010)

Surface Tension Evaluation of Molten Silicates Containing Surface-active Components (B2O3, CaF2 or Na2O)

Masashi Nakamoto, Toshihiro Tanaka, Lauri Holappa, Marko Hämäläinen

pp. 211-216

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.211

Abstract

A thermodynamic model for determining the surface tension of molten ionic mixtures, derived by considering the ionic radii, was applied to molten silicates containing a surface-active component B2O3, CaF2 or Na2O. The calculated results of the present model were in agreement with the experimental data in these ternary systems over a wide temperature range.

Reduction of Iron Ore Fines with CO-rich Gases under Pressurized Fluidized Bed Conditions

Christoph Pawlik, Stefan Schuster, Norbert Eder, Franz Winter, Heinrich Mali, Harald Fischer, Johannes L. Schenk

pp. 217-225

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.217

Abstract

Pressurized fluidized bed processes for the reduction of iron ore fines using CO-rich reducing gas formed by coal gasification are an upcoming ironmaking technology. They operate in a continuous multi-staged countercurrent mode at an absolute pressure of 4 bar.
For process optimization, a laboratory-scale pressurized fluidized bed reactor was built to perform experiments similar to industrial conditions. The reactor is operated as a differential reactor to ensure a constant gas concentration and temperature within the reactor volume.
Three-stage experiments with three different iron ores were carried out at an absolute pressure of 4 bar in batch-wise operation. The reducing gas consisted of a mixture of H2, H2O, CH4, CO2 and CO. The CO-concentration was varied in a range between 30% and 50%, the residence time in pre-reduction between 30 and 60 min and the operating temperature from 400°C to 850°C. In correspondence to the tests, microscopic techniques were applied to determine the importance of morphological properties of the ores on their reduction behavior.
A higher temperature in the pre-reduction stage causes an increase of porosity as well as an increase of the final reduction degree. Comparing different ore types, a significant correlation between the morphology of the employed ores and the final reduction degree was found.

In Situ Observation of Reduction Behavior of Hematite with Solid Carbon and Crystallographic Orientation between Hematite and Magnetite

Yoshiaki Kashiwaya, Yasuhide Yamaguchi, Hiroshi Kinoshita, Kuniyoshi Ishii

pp. 226-233

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.226

Abstract

Recently, the composite pellets between iron ore and carbon are studied by many researchers because of its high reactivity. However, the reaction mechanism of the composite pellet is not yet clarified. It is obviously determined the reaction mechanism at initial stage as the direct reaction between solid carbon and iron oxide. However, in the course of reaction, the reaction mechanism will change to the indirect reduction of iron oxide with CO gas owing to the separation of the interface between solid carbon and iron oxide.
In this study, samples of polycrystalline hematite (grain size was approximately 20 μm) were prepared. The hematite sample was coated by carbon with different thickness. The in situ observation by a laser microscope was carried out. The crystal orientation and morphology was investigated before and after the reaction using EBSP, SEM, AFM, XRD and Raman.
The direct reduction began from about 650°C and the reaction proceeded rapidly until carbon was consumed. The behavior of reduction was different from the thickness of carbon layer (amount of carbon) which was related to whether the product gas (CO) could be passed through the carbon layer or not. After reduction, the lath magnetite having same direction was a grain was observed on the surface. The crystallographic orientation between magnetite and hematite was as follows;
(0 0 0 1)H || (111)M, [1 1 0 0]H || [110]M
In addition, the growth direction of the lath magnetite formed on the hematite surface was
[2 1 3 0]H || [101]M

Sintering Pot Test of Manganese Ore with Addition of Manganese Furnace Dust

Ruihua Shen, Guangqing Zhang, Mark Dell'Amico, Peter Brown, Oleg Ostrovski

pp. 234-239

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.234

Abstract

Manganese furnace dust is formed from volatiles and fines collected during wet scrubbing of the off-gas from manganese alloy smelting furnaces. This dust, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, zinc, manganese oxide and other elements. Impediments to the recycling of the manganese furnace dust back to the ferroalloy furnaces are the potential accumulation of zinc and alkalies, which can cause irregularities in furnace operation, and handling. This paper examines the behaviour of zinc during sintering pot tests of manganese ore with addition of manganese furnace dust. Laboratory reduction experiments showed that at temperatures above 800°C zinc oxide was reduced by carbon in tar to zinc vapour. However, zinc removal in sintering pot tests was below 30%, which was attributed to reoxidation of the zinc vapour. Zinc removal was the highest from the bottom section of the sintering pot bed.

Influence of Operational Conditions on Dust Emission from Sintering Bed

Masanori Nakano, Jun Okazaki

pp. 240-244

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.240

Abstract

Dust emission is an environmental concern to iron ore sintering. To suppress it by preventing dust from migrating into gas stream in the sintering bed, the effect of various operational factors was investigated and the site and cause of dust generation in sintering bed were estimated through pot tests with a dust sampler placed between the pot and the wind box. Dust emission increased with increasing coke content or decreasing moisture; suction pressure, bed height and blend ratio of Marra Mamba ore did not affect significantly. Of 750 mg/kg dust emitted from bed, about 150 mg/kg originated in the drying zone, another 150 mg/kg in the dehydration zone and the rest in the coke combustion zone. The dominant causes allowing particles to move into gas stream in the bed was estimated to be granule's breakage in the drying/dehydration zones and extinction of adjacent particles in the combustion zone.

The Characteristics of Catalyst-coated Highly Reactive Coke

Seiji Nomura, Hisatsugu Kitaguchi, Kouichi Yamaguchi, Masaaki Naito

pp. 245-253

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.245

Abstract

It is important to develop the production and utilization technology of highly reactive coke in order to improve the efficiency of blast furnace reactions. In this study, the characteristics of catalyst-coated highly reactive coke produced by the ‘post-addition of catalyst to coke’ method were investigated. First, the catalytic effect of Fe and Ca on graphite and deashed coke during the C–CO2 reaction was investigated. Fe and Ca addition increased the reaction rate and decreased the reaction beginning temperature. Second, the reaction rate of Fe or Ca coated coke was kept high until the weight loss reached 10%. This means that a high catalytic effect is maintained in the thermal reserve zone of the blast furnace. Furthermore, it was found that 70% of the catalyst coated on the coke surface remains after drop impacts. It is expected that the loss of catalyst during coke handling and transportation is small. Catalyst-coated highly reactive coke is promising for improving the efficiency of blast furnace reactions.

Segregation in Twin Roll Strip Cast Steels and the Effect on Mechanical Properties

Zhenyu Liu, Zhaosen Lin, Yiqing Qiu, Na Li, Xianghua Liu, Guodong Wang

pp. 254-258

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.254

Abstract

Strips of low carbon steels containing high contents of P and Cu have been produced by twin roll strip casting. The as-cast strips containing more than 0.1 mass% P exhibited obvious inverse surface segregation, which was difficult to be eliminated by the subsequent annealing treatments. After cold rolling and annealing treatment at 625°C for 30 min, the strip containing 0.1 mass% P exhibited similar plastic deformation and rupture behaviors with the strip containing 0.01% P, showing no obvious deteriorating effects of P on the ductility of as-cast strip. With increasing P content in steel, more cleavage cracks, micro voids and inter-granular rapture were observed in the fractured areas after tensile testing, which are believed to have been induced by the segregation of P in as cast strips. These results provide primary guidance for recycling dirty steel scraps.

Eutectic Cell and Nodule Count in Cast Iron

Edward Fras, Marcin Górny, Hugo F. López

pp. 259-268

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.259

Abstract

In this work, heat balance is incorporated in developing expressions of general validity for the solidification of hypo-eutectic flake graphite cast iron, as well as eutectic and slightly hyper-eutectic nodular iron. These expressions incorporate the active nucleation and growth processes that occur in flake and nodular graphite. The derived analytical equations describe the eutectic cell N and nodule count Nn as a function of the solidification parameters and melt chemistry. From this analysis, eutectic cell or nodule counts can be predicted based on experimental data related to cooling rates and chemical composition. In particular, it has been found that the quality of the liquid cast iron is closely tied to its intrinsic nucleation properties (Ns and b coefficients in the nucleation equation, Nnuc=Ns exp(−b/ΔTm)), or directly to the graphite nuclei density, Nnuc. Moreover, the outcome of the present work is used in providing a rational for the effect of technological factors such as the material mold ability to absorb heat, the casting modulus, pouring temperature, chemistry, inoculation practice, holding temperatures and times on the resultant cell count or nodule count in cast iron.

Eutectic Cell and Nodule Count in Cast Iron

Edward Fras, Marcin Górny, Hugo F. López

pp. 269-276

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.269

Abstract

In this work the predictions of a proposed theoretical analysis aimed at elucidating eutectic cell counts, N in gray iron cast and nodule counts, Nn in ductile iron were experimentally verified. The work was focused on processing flake graphite and ductile cast iron under various inoculation conditions in order to achieve various physicochemical states in the experimental melts. In addition, plates of various wall thicknesses were cast and the resultant eutectic cell N and nodule Nn count were established. Moreover, thermal analysis was employed for determinations of the maximum degree of graphite eutectic undercooling, ΔTm. A comparison was made between the theoretical predictions and the experimental determinations of eutectic cells, N, nodule counts, Nn and ΔTm. It was found that N and Nn can be related to the casting modulus, M and as a consequence to the wall thickness, s in plate shaped castings. In particular, the outcome of this work indicates that the predictions of the theoretical analysis are in good agreement with the experimental outcome.

Three-dimensional Phase-field Simulation of Free Dendrite Growth of Iron

Kanae Oguchi, Toshio Suzuki

pp. 277-281

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.277

Abstract

The free dendrite growth of iron has been investigated using a three-dimensional phase-field model with thin-interface-limit parameters. The stability parameters are determined for different values of anisotropy intensity of interface energy, and the obtained values are in good agreement with previously reported values. The dendrite growth velocities of iron at different degrees of undercooling are compared with experimental data, and a good agreement between phase-field simulations and experiments are obtained when the kinetic coefficient is assumed to be 20. The validity of the analytical dendrite model by Lipton, Kurz and Trivedi (LKT model) is also examined, and it is shown that the model gives accurate predictions when suitable parameter values are adopted.

Role of Ash Impurities in the Depletion of Carbon from Alumina–Graphite Mixtures in to Liquid Iron

Rita Khanna, John Spink, Veena Sahajwalla

pp. 282-288

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.282

Abstract

Due to their excellent thermal shock and slag resistance at high temperatures, alumina–graphite refractories are used extensively in the steel industry. The degradation of carbon based refractories through carbon depletion is an important issue and a fundamental understanding of refractory behaviour at high temperatures is crucially important. Natural flake graphite, with ash impurity levels ranging from 1 to 10%, is used extensively in the commercial preparation of alumina–carbon refractories. This study investigates the role played by ash impurities in the depletion of carbon from the refractory composite. Two natural graphites, respectively containing 2.1% and 5.26% ash, were used in this study. Substrates were prepared from mixtures of alumina and carbon over a wide concentration-range. Using a sessile drop arrangement, carbon pick-up by liquid iron from alumina–natural graphite mixtures was measured at 1 550°C and was compared with the carbon pick-up from alumina–synthetic graphite mixtures. These studies were supplemented with microscopic investigations on the interfacial region. Very high and similar levels of carbon dissolution were however observed from both alumina–natural graphite mixtures, with carbon pickup by liquid iron from mixtures with up to 30 wt% alumina reaching saturation. A sharp reduction to near zero levels was observed in the 30 to 40 wt% alumina range. Along with implications for commercial refractory applications, these results are discussed in terms of poor wettability between alumina and liquid iron, interactions between ash impurities and alumina, and formation of complexes in the interfacial region.

Thermal Stability of High Temperature Deformation Induced Ferrite in a Low Carbon Steel

Zhaoxia Liu, Dianzhong Li, Shanping Lu, Guiwen Qiao

pp. 289-293

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.289

Abstract

A series of unidirectional compression tests for a low carbon steel were performed on a thermal simulating machine Gleeble 3 500, and the thermal stability of high temperature deformation induced ferrite (DIF) was studied systematically through the post-treatments such as isothermally hot holding time above the austenite–ferrite equilibrium transformation temperature Ae3, cooling rates and annealing temperatures after deformation. The results show that the DIF volume fraction decreases during isothermally hot holding and finally DIF disappears. The DIF grains showed rapid growth at low annealing temperatures (<200°C) and relatively stable at middle annealing temperatures (200–500°C), lastly rapid growing at high annealing temperatures (500–700°C). Compared with the microstructure of DIF with martensite in quenched specimens, the proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite appear in controlled cooled specimens at low cooling rates (i.e. 10°C/s and 1°C/s). The present experiments revealed that DIF is not stable at the high temperature and hardly conserved in hot mills.

Reverse Austenite Transformation Behavior of Equal Channel Angular Pressed Low Carbon Ferrite/Pearlite Steel

Kyung-Tae Park, Eui Gil Lee, Chong Soo Lee

pp. 294-298

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.294

Abstract

Reverse austenite transformation characteristics of ultrafine grained ferrite/pearlite low carbon steel were examined by using a dilatometry with a heating rate of 10°C/s, and compared with those of coarse grained counterpart. Ultrafine grained steel was prepared by equal channel angular pressing at 500°C, resulting in a microstructure consisting of ultrafine ferrite grains and pearlite with partially dissolved pearlitic cementite. Reverse austenite transformation start and finish temperatures of ultrafine grained steel were lower than those of coarse grained steel. Reverse austenite transformation of coarse grained steel occurred with the two serial stages of pearlite→austenite followed by proeutectoid ferrite→austenite. In the case of ultrafine grained steel, reverse austenite transformation was manifested by the three serial stages of carbon-supersaturated ferrite→austenite, pearlite→austenite, and proeutectoid ferrite→austenite in the order. The formation of carbon-supersaturated ferrite in ultrafine grained steel is associated with carbon dissolution from pearlitic cementite during equal channel angular pressing. The effect of equal channel angular pressing on reverse austenite transformation temperatures can be explained in terms of the difference in shear stress driving transformation between two steels under assumption that the nature of carbon-supersaturated ferrite in ultrafine grained steel is similar to that of conventional martensite.

Transformation in Stir Zone of Friction Stir Welded Carbon Steels with Different Carbon Contents

Ling Cui, Hidetoshi Fujii, Nobuhiro Tsuji, Kazuhiro Nakata, Kiyoshi Nogi, Rinsei Ikeda, Muneo Matsushita

pp. 299-306

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.299

Abstract

Five types of ferrite–pearlite structure carbon steels with different carbon contents (IF steel, S12C, S20C, S35C, S50C) were friction stir welded under various welding conditions, and the mechanical properties and microstructures of the FSW carbon steel joints were evaluated. Compared with IF steel, the microstructures and mechanical properties of the carbon steel joints are significantly affected by the welding conditions. When the carbon content is less than or equal to 0.12 mass%, the welding produces ferrite–pearlite structures, and the strength slightly increases compared to the base metal due to the refined microstructure; when the carbon content is above 0.2 mass%, the welding produces ferrite–pearlite plus harder phases like the martensite and bainite microstructures, resulting in a significantly increased strength of the joints. These are dependent on each of the thermal-mechanical cycles.

The Influence of Niobium Microalloying on Austenite Grain Coarsening Behavior of Ti-modified SAE 8620 Steel

K. A. Alogab, D. K. Matlock, J. G. Speer, H. J. Kleebe

pp. 307-316

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.307

Abstract

The potential for suppressing unacceptable austenite grain growth during carburizing by Nb microalloying additions in the range of 0.02 to 0.11 wt% to a Ti-modified SAE 8620 carburizing steel were evaluated. Alloys, were designed based on fundamental equilibrium thermodynamic analyses, as part of an extensive study on the effects of alloy composition, thermomechanical history, and pseudo-carburizing conditions on austenite grain coarsening behavior. Laboratory samples were produced to simulate both conventional hot rolling and controlled rolling practices designed to produce different initial precipitate distributions. Pseudo-carburizing heat treatments, i.e. without a carburizing atmosphere, were performed in the temperature range of 950 to 1100°C for holding times of 30 to 360 min. Precipitate distributions, including size, number density, morphology, distribution, and chemical composition in selected samples from the as-rolled and pseudo-carburized conditions were evaluated with transmission electron microscopy on extraction replicas. Results showed that increasing Nb additions to the Ti-modified SAE 8620 steel restrained austenite grain coarsening, and increased the grain coarsening time, especially at temperatures below 1050°C. The Nb-free (Ti-modified) steel yielded either severely duplex grain structures or pseudo-normal grain growth (with very large mean grain diameter). However, holding a Ti–Nb-modified steel (e.g. 0.06 Nb wt%) at 950°C for 6 h or at 1000°C for 4 h. produced fine and uniform austenite grain structures (with a mean grain diameter less than 20 μm). The finer grain sizes observed in the Ti–Nb-modified steels were due to the presence of Nb-rich precipitates that hinder austenite grain coarsening, and precipitate distributions and grain growth behaviors are also influenced by the steel rolling history. The results indicate that Nb can successfully be used to suppress grain growth in carburizing steels.

Tempering Process and Precipitation Behavior of 8%Cr–2%WTa Steel

Manabu Tamura, Hiroyasu Kusuyama, Kei Shinozuka, Hisao Esaka

pp. 317-326

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.317

Abstract

In order to clarify the stability of precipitates in 8%Cr–2%W–0.09%Ta steel at high temperatures, tempering and precipitation behavior of the steel has been examined precisely. Tempering was performed mainly at 740°C for 0.5–1 000 h. Hardness peak was found in a tempering curve at 650–740°C for 3.75–8 h. Discontinuous changes in X-ray diffraction intensity of the matrix, apparent lattice strain and apparent crystalline particle size, which were estimated from integral breadth, the amount of extracted residue, and the Cr and Ta content in the residue were observed at 740°C for 2–12 h tempering. These discontinuous changes correspond to the rotation of preferred orientation or the generation of subgrains accompanying the dissolution and the subsequent re-precipitation of M23C6 and TaC. The re-precipitation of fine M23C6 particles is responsible for the hardness peak. Three kinds of TaC with different chemical composition and different size are found. The amount and the size of the coarse and medium TaC particles are affected by the discontinuous changes in microstructure. Fine particles of TaC grow very slowly, which is caused by the continuous dissolution of TaC due to the annihilation of precipitation site, dislocations, and re-precipitation on dislocations. Particle sizes of TaC and M23C6 estimated using X-ray diffraction peak coincide with those observed in transmission electron microscopy.

Dependence of Magnetic Susceptibility on Dislocation Density in Tensile Deformed Iron and Mn-steel

Koh Yaegashi

pp. 327-332

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.327

Abstract

Dependence of the coefficient c of magnetic susceptibility on dislocation density was investigated in tensile deformed polycrystalline Fe and Mn-steel (JIS SFVQ-1A). The dislocation density was measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The coefficient c was analyzed from hysteresis loops, and found to be proportional to dislocation density. It is concluded that the observed dependence of c is valid when there exist homogeneously distributed dislocations. The observed dependence of c on dislocation density would be useful for nondestructive evaluation of dislocation structure in practical steel.

Creep Behavior and Rupture Life of the Simulated Intercritical HAZ for 1.25Cr–0.5Mo Steel under a Multiaxial Stress State

Shimpei Fujibayashi

pp. 333-339

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.333

Abstract

For the life assessment of an elevated temperature component under complex loading, the effect of a mutiaxial stress state upon creep behavior must be taken into account. From a practical point of view, quantifying the creep life of welds exposed to mutiaxial stresses should be the first priority since welds are often located at the change in geometry. For the components fabricated from low alloy ferritic steels, the most likely failure mode should be Type IV cracking taking place at Intercritical HAZ (ICZ).
Thus, the triaxiality effect upon the creep behavior of ICZ for 1.25Cr–0.5Mo steel was examined using semicircular notched specimens. Though grain boundary damage was accelerated when tested by notched specimens, all the notched specimens showed notch strengthening behavior. To quantify the effect of the equivalent stress and maximum principal stress, stresses given by a code of practice for notched bar creep rupture testing were correlated with rupture lives of notched specimens. It was found that the equivalent stress played a major role in determining the mutiaxial rupture life for ICZ.
The above finding suggests that the Monkman–Grant type relationship between rupture life and Θ4 of the theta projection, which was found in the uniaxial creep tests, could be also applicable to a multaxially stressed component since creep deformation is uniquely determined by the equivalent stress. As a matter of fact, the rupture lives of notched specimens were also well correlated with Θ4. As a new scheme for the nondestructive life assessment, measuring the value of Θ4, which is equivalent to the slope of strain rate versus strain at the tertiary creep regime, is considered to be potential.

Effect of Solute Copper on Yield Strength in Dislocation-strengthened Steels

Junaidi Syarif, Koichi Nakashima, Toshihiro Tsuchiyama, Setsuo Takaki

pp. 340-345

DOI:

10.2355/isijinternational.47.340

Abstract

The effect of copper atoms in solid solution (solute Cu) on yield strength was investigated in dislocation-strengthened steels such as a martensitic steel and a work-hardened steel, which have high dislocation density. The yield strength of the martensitic steel increases with increasing content of the solute Cu. However, the increment of the yield strength by the solute Cu is smaller in the martensitic steel than in the ferritic steel. Dislocation density of the martensitic steel increases with increasing Cu content and the yield strength is also enhanced depending on the dislocation density. The increment of the yield strength can be reasonably explained by the dislocation strengthening mechanism based on the Bailey–Hirsch relationship. In the work-hardened ferritic steel, the solid solution strengthening by Cu is significant when the dislocation density is low, but it tends to disappear with increasing the dislocation density through cold-rolling. These are indicative of the facts that the yield strength of the dislocation-strengthened steel is determined by the dislocation strengthening and the contribution of the solute Cu on the yield strength disappears owing to high dislocation density.
