钛对CrNiMo低合金铸钢组织及力学性能的影响

Effect of Ti on microstructure and mechanical properties of CrNiMo low alloy cast steel

  • 摘要: 为改善CrNiMo低合金铸钢的综合力学性能,研究了微合金元素钛及淬火温度对其组织与性能的影响规律。通过扫描电子显微镜(scanning electron microscope,SEM)、电子背散射衍射(electron backscatter diffraction,EBSD)、透射电子显微镜(transmission electron microscope,TEM)及光学显微镜(optical microscope,OM)等多种表征方法,分析了钛含量与淬火温度对奥氏体晶粒长大行为的影响,并探讨了钛对回火索氏体形貌及最终力学性能的影响机制。研究结果表明,在900~950 ℃淬火时,钛含量对奥氏体平均晶粒尺寸影响不显著,但会明显影响晶粒尺寸分布的均匀性。当淬火温度超过1 000 ℃后,钛抑制晶粒粗化的作用更为明显,且淬火温度越高,晶粒尺寸越大。在950 ℃淬火、钛质量分数为0.035%时,奥氏体晶粒最细小均匀,平均尺寸为11.13 μm。机制分析表明,低温淬火时Ti(C,N)未充分溶解,淬火温度主导晶粒尺寸演变。钛含量过低时析出相数量不足,过高则易引起钛原子偏聚,两者均会削弱其对晶界的钉扎效果,影响组织均匀性。经550 ℃回火后,上述工艺参数对应的试验钢表现出最优的力学性能,抗拉强度为1 134.95 MPa,屈服强度为1 101.59 MPa,室温冲击功为39.91 J。钛元素通过调控Ti(C,N)析出相的数量与尺寸,在提升钢的强度的同时保持了良好的韧性,实现了强韧性匹配的综合优化。

     

    Abstract: To improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of CrNiMo low alloy cast steel, the effects of micro-alloying element titanium and quenching temperature on its microstructure and performance were investigated. Utilizing various characterization methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and optical microscopy (OM), the influence of titanium content and quenching temperature on austenite grain growth behavior was analyzed, and the mechanism by which titanium affects the morphology of tempered sorbite and the final mechanical properties was explored. The results indicate that during quenching at 900-950 ℃, titanium content has no significant effect on the average austenite grain size but noticeably affects the uniformity of grain size distribution. When the quenching temperature exceeds 1 000 ℃, titanium plays a more pronounced role in inhibiting grain coarsening, and higher quenching temperatures lead to larger grain sizes. At quenching temperature of 950 ℃ and titanium mass fraction of 0.035%, the austenite grains are the finest and most uniform, with an average size of 11.13 μm. Mechanistic analysis reveals that at lower quenching temperatures, Ti(C,N) does not fully dissolve, and the quenching temperature dominates grain size evolution. If the titanium content is too low, the number of precipitates is insufficient, while excessive titanium content can lead to titanium atom segregation. Both scenarios weaken the pinning effect on grain boundaries and compromise microstructural uniformity. After tempering at 550 ℃, the test steel corresponding to the above process parameters shows the best mechanical properties, the tensile strength is 1 134.95 MPa, the yield strength is 1 101.59 MPa, and the impact energy at room temperature is 43.74 J. By regulating the quantity and size of Ti(C,N) precipitates, titanium enhances strength of steel while maintaining good toughness, achieving a comprehensive optimization of strength-toughness balance.
