Abstract
Herein, the effects of electroslag remelting (ESR) and impurities in ESR slag on the composition, microstructure, and properties of lightweight steel with a nominal composition in wt% of Fe-20Mn-10Al-1.5C are studied. These results can provide a reference for the production of such steels using ESR and the design of the composition of such steels. The results show that ESR can make the contents of Si increase and that of S decrease, make the grain size decrease, make the phase transformation of austenite at about 540 °C change from spinodal decomposition to ordered transformation, make the contents of MnS and SiO2 and inclusions greater than 5 μm decrease, make the distribution of inclusions homogenize, and make the shape of inclusions change from long strip with sharp corners to spherical shape. ESR can improve its strength, plasticity, and antiballistic penetration properties.
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.
Hot Topics:
-Steels for Automotive Applications
-High-strength Steels
-Sustainable steelmaking
-Interstitially Alloyed Steels
-Electromagnetic Processing of Metals
-High Speed Forming
