Abstract
The influence of Zr and Ti on the inclusions, microstructure, and mechanical properties of three sets of steel prepared using a vacuum induction melting furnace is analyzed. In steel without Zr and Ti, MnS is mainly distributed in the grain boundary with a rod‐like or dendritic morphology, an average diameter of 10 μm, and a quantity of 2.08 × 104 m−3. After alloying with Zr and Ti, MnS in steel is evenly distributed and adopted a blocky or spherical morphology with an average diameter of 7.2 μm and a quantity of 11.01 × 104 m−3. The oxygen content in steel do not have a remarkable impact on the MnS morphology. ZrO2 and Ti2ZrO6 formed in steel display a slight lattice disregistry with MnS. During solidification, MnS precipitates easily as types I and III MnS, with oxides serving as the core. The MnS composite exhibits remarkable deformation resistance during forging. The addition of Zr and Ti increases the proportion of intragranular ferrite in steel and decreases the pearlite lamellae spacing and average grain size, increasing the yield strength from 745 to 820 MPa and the impact energy from 21 to 56 J at room temperature. Overall, the addition of Zr and Ti considerably improves the mechanical properties of steel.
期刊介绍:
steel research international is a journal providing a forum for the publication of high-quality manuscripts in areas ranging from process metallurgy and metal forming to materials engineering as well as process control and testing. The emphasis is on steel and on materials involved in steelmaking and the processing of steel, such as refractories and slags.
steel research international welcomes manuscripts describing basic scientific research as well as industrial research. The journal received a further increased, record-high Impact Factor of 1.522 (2018 Journal Impact Factor, Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2019)).
The journal was formerly well known as "Archiv für das Eisenhüttenwesen" and "steel research"; with effect from January 1, 2006, the former "Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy" merged with Steel Research International.
