Evaluating the Effect of the Competition between NbC Precipitation and Grain Size Evolution on the Hot Ductility of Nb Containing Steels

Kohei Furumai, Xiang Wang, Hatem Zurob, Andre Phillion

pp. 429-437

Abstract

The hot ductility of steels containing 0–0.06 wt.%Nb has been evaluated through γ grain growth experiments and hot stage tensile tests of the α + γ two phase region in order to clarify the roles of NbC precipitation and γ grain size evolution resulting from Nb-initiated solute drag on hot ductility in this important material property. The experimental results show that (1) a decrease in γ grain size as a result of Nb-initiated solute drag improves hot ductility, (2) for a given γ grain size, hot ductility decreases with increasing Nb content because the corresponding increase in NbC precipitation fraction increases strength, and (3) the variation in ductility with Nb content is smaller when the γ grain size is smaller. These competing effects of γ grain size and NbC precipitation affect the strain incompatibility between the α and γ phases, leading to the onset of surface cracking during continuous casting when the incompatibility is high. The underlying mechanisms controlling ductility in Nb-containing steels are demonstrated using a model that partitions strain between the α and γ phases.

Akihiko Nagasaka, Tomohiko Hojo, Katsuya Aoki, Hirofumi Koyama, Akihiro Shimizu

pp. 438-447

Abstract

Effect of heat-affected zone (HAZ) softening on tensile strength (TS) and total elongation (TEl) of spot welded ultrahigh strength TRIP-aided martensitic (TM) steel sheet was investigated for automobile applications. Tensile test was performed on an Instron type tensile testing machine at a crosshead speed of 3 mm/min (strain rate of 8.3×10–4 s–1), using spot welded specimen.The results are as follows.(1) The spot welded specimen at the current value (I) of 6.5 kA for the TM steel with the maximum stress (TS*) of 1450 MPa and the fracture elongation (TEl*) of 7.0% was superior to that of hot stamping steel (the HS1 steel), and it was found that the TS* and the TEl* for the TM steel possessed those of base metal specimen for the HS1 steel with the tensile strength (TS) of 1469 MPa and the total elongation (TEl) of 7.7%.(2) The TRIP effect for the TM steel with an excellent strength-ductility balance (TS×TEl) of 14.4 GPa% (i.e. the tensile strength (TS) of 1532 MPa and the total elongation (TEl) of 9.4%) suppressed HAZ softening and was able to express a high maximum stress (TS*) of 1450 MPa for the TM steel of the spot welded specimen.

Effect of Environmental Factors on Hydrogen Absorption into Steel Sheet under a Wet-dry Cyclic Corrosion Condition

Shinji Ootsuka, Eiji Tada, Azusa Ooi, Atsushi Nishikata

pp. 448-456

Abstract

Effect of temperature and chloride deposition on hydrogen absorption into steel was evaluated under wet-dry cyclic corrosion conditions by using a temperature compensated hydrogen absorption monitoring system which is based on electrochemical hydrogen permeation method. Peaks of hydrogen permeation current were detected during the wetting and drying periods in the wet-dry cyclic corrosion conditions. Hydrogen absorption was increased with increasing temperature and chloride deposition. It was suggested that the hydrogen absorption behavior under the wet-dry cyclic corrosion conditions is related to the change in solution chemistry during the wetting and drying periods where the increase of chloride ion concentration and the decrease in pH due to hydrolysis reaction of Fe3+ occurred. Based on these results, the amount of absorbed hydrogen map effected by temperature and chloride deposition in atmospheric corrosion environment was described.

Mutual Verification of Phase Fraction Analysis Techniques for Steels Comprising Deformation Induced Martensite Phases: Neutron-Diffraction-Based Rietveld Texture Analysis and Saturation Magnetization Measurement

Yusuke Onuki, Takuro Masumura, Toshihiro Tsuchiyama, Shigeo Sato, Toshiro Tomida, Setsuo Takaki

pp. 457-464

Abstract

The demand for a reliable and quantitative method to determine phase fractions has been increasing due to the developments of multi-phase materials, such as TRIP steels. The authors conducted a mutual verification between the two methods for phase fraction analysis, the saturation magnetization measurement and the newly developed neutron diffraction technique, neutron-diffraction-based Rietveld texture analysis (NDRTA). The chemical compositions of the current samples were Fe-18Cr-8Ni-1Mn-0.5Si (mass%) with 0, 0.1 or 0.2 mass% of C or N. The α’-martensite volume fractions analyzed by both methods showed a good linear correspondence. The analysis based on the saturation magnetization measurement required an accurate evaluation of the volume saturation magnetization of α’-martensite, which was a function of the chemical composition. The comparison with the result of NDRTA can be an effective method to calibrate the volume saturate magnetization of α’-martensite, especially in the case that a fully transformed standard sample cannot be obtained. NDRTA is also an effective method to determine the fraction of ε-martensite, which is non-magnetic and has a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. Since the hcp phase tends to develop a sharp texture, the conventional X-ray diffraction method without care of texture underestimated its volume fraction. Hence, the simultaneous evaluation of volume fraction and texture by NDRTA is the optimum method to determine the fraction of ε-martensite.

Experimental Evaluation of Texture Change during Grain Growth in Electrical Steel Sheets and Its Prediction by Phase Field Simulation

Masato Yasuda, Yoshihiro Suwa, Kenichi Murakami, Kohsaku Ushioda

pp. 465-477

Abstract

Electrical steel sheets require an increase in grain diameter in order to reduce iron loss. Texture changes during grain growth also affect iron loss. Therefore, it is important for the improvement in magnetic properties to control texture changes during grain growth. Especially, the texture prediction from the initial recrystallized structure is industrially useful. Our goal is the texture prediction by phase field simulation method. In this study, we first investigated experimentally the texture change during grain growth in Fe-0.5%Si and Fe-3.3%Si steels to get the systematic knowledge and the mechanism behind. Then, experimental results were compared with the predicted ones obtained by exploiting the multi-phase field (MPF) simulation.In the experimental results, in Fe-0.5%Si alloy, {111}<112> component further developed during grain growth. While in the case of Fe-3.3%Si alloy, {411}<148> component significantly developed by consuming {111}<112> component during grain growth. In both cases, the mechanism for the texture change during grain growth could be commonly explained by size advantage. The MPF simulation for both cases succeeded in reproducing the experimental results in terms of the texture changes during grain growth. However, the simulated texture changes were slightly smaller than that of experiment, presumably due to the difference in dimension; i.e. two dimension in MPF simulation and three dimension in experiment. Thus, the validity of the prediction of texture change exploiting MPF simulation was verified.

Phase-field Simulation of Abnormal Grain Growth due to the Existence of Second-phase Particles

Yoshihiro Suwa, Kohsaku Ushioda

pp. 478-487

Abstract

The grain growth processes are usually classified into two types. The first type is a self-similar coarsening process, which is called normal grain growth (NGG). The second type is called abnormal grain growth (AGG) and is characterized by the coarsening of a few grains at the expense of the surrounding matrix. Different mechanisms have been proposed for AGG, although the actual physical mechanism responsible for this phenomenon remains largely unknown.Dispersions of second phase particles are often used to inhibit NGG in polycrystalline metals. However, Hillert and also Humphreys predicted the condition where NGG does not occur and only AGG occurs by using the mean field analysis involving particle dispersions. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation on ‘particle-assisted AGG’ have been reported; however, the mechanism of the phenomenon has not been clarified yet.In this study, AGG due to the existence of the particles was reproduced by using 3D phase-field (PF) simulation. We particularly investigated the influence of dissolution rate of the particles on AGG intensity. Furthermore, we discussed characteristics of individual grains obtaining maximum size at the end of simulation. Our PF simulations revealed that not only the size superiority in the initial condition but also the “growth environment”, that is, the average grain size of adjacent grains that changes sequentially during the simulation is important for enhancing the AGG. In order to extract the effects of the pinning particles the anisotropy in the interface properties was not considered in this manuscript.

Effects of Solute Carbon on the Work Hardening Behavior of Lath Martensite in Low-Carbon Steel

Taku Niino, Junya Inoue, Mayumi Ojima, Shoichi Nambu, Toshihiko Koseki

pp. 488-496

Abstract

The work hardening behavior and the change in the dislocation density of lath martensite at strain levels of less than 15% under uniaxial tensile loading were investigated. It was clarified that the work hardening rate and the multiplication of dislocation become more prominent as the solute carbon content increases. The change in the mobile dislocation density during deformation was evaluated by studying dynamic strain aging behavior, and it was found that the annihilation of mobile dislocations becomes slower at a higher carbon content. The findings were further examined by a modified Kocks-Mecking-Estrin model proposed in order to explicitly clarify the changes in the mobile and sessile dislocation densities during deformation. From the model-based analysis, it is also suggested that the solute carbon retards the formation of dislocation cells by reducing the mobility of dislocations. These findings were also corresponded well with the observation of the dislocation structure using a transmission electron microscope.

Anisotropy in Hydrogen Embrittlement Resistance of Drawn Pearlitic Steel Investigated by in-situ Microbending Test during Cathodic Hydrogen Charging

Kota Tomatsu, Takafumi Amino, Tetsushi Chida, Shunya Uji, Makoto Okonogi, Hikaru Kawata, Tomohiko Omura, Naoki Maruyama, Yoshitaka Nishiyama

pp. 497-506

Abstract

To investigate causes of superior hydrogen embrittlement resistance of drawn pearlitic steel, notched microcantilevers with different notch orientations were fabricated by focused ion beam, and microbending tests were conducted in air and during cathodic hydrogen charging by electrochemical nanoindentation. In air, indentation load increased with increase in indentation displacement, and no crack appeared for any notch orientations. During hydrogen charging, indentation load declined, and a crack appeared. The degree in the load reduction was larger, and the crack was deeper for the notch parallel to the lamellar interface than that normal to the lamellar interface. Furthermore, stationary cracks in the microcantilevers were observed by scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. For the notch parallel to the lamellar interface, a sharp long crack was identified along the lamellar interface. The crack stopped at the position where the cementite lamellae are disconnected. In lattice images, cementite was identified in one side of the crack, and ferrite in another side of the same crack. On the other hand, for the notch normal to the lamellar interface, a blunt short crack was identified. Thus, it was concluded that the ferrite-cementite interface is a preferential crack path, and hydrogen embrittlement resistance in the direction parallel to the lamellar interface is superior to that normal to the lamellar interface. The present results also indicate that directional lamellar alignment of the drawn pearlitic steel suppresses crack propagation in the radial direction of the drawn wire, improving the hydrogen embrittlement resistance in the drawing direction.

Fatigue Properties of SUS316LN Stainless Steel Sheet with Heterogeneous Nano-structure Developed by Heavy Cold Rolling

Masakazu Kobayashi, Shouhei Iwama, Chihiro Watanabe, Yoshiteru Aoyagi, Hiromi Miura

pp. 507-516

Abstract

Fatigue behaviors of SUS316LN austenitic stainless steel with heterogeneous nano-structure developed by heavy cold rolling have been investigated in this study. The tensile strength and the elongation to fracture in the heterogeneous nano-structure SUS316LN were 1552 MPa and 10%, respectively. The fatigue strength of the heterogeneous nano-structure SUS316LN, which was defined at 107 cycles, reached double of fatigue strength of conventional austenitic stainless steels. The improvement of fatigue strength can be connected with ultimate tensile strength in the heterogeneous nano-structure SUS316LN. Fish-eye fractures, in which crack initiated at Al2O3 inclusions, were clearly observed on the fracture surfaces. The crack propagation rate was measured based on the striation intervals on fracture surface, the analysis of crack propagation rate revealed that the cracks tend to propagate difficult to sheet thickness direction due to lamella structure whose grain boundaries are low misorientation angles. The fatigue lives before and after crack initiation were also estimated by using the number of cycles at fracture and the crack propagation rate. It was found that most of fatigue life was spent before crack initiation. Therefore, fatigue strength would be able to improve by reducing the number and size of inclusion particles.
