Abstract

The direct application of pulsed electric current (PEC) treatment to materials can induce microstructural modifications and thus improve mechanical properties compared to conventional heat treatments. Pulsed current treatments are characterized by simplicity, speed, and low energy consumption. This study explores the effects of PEC treatment at varying current densities on the mechanical properties and microstructure of 2205 duplex stainless steel. A current density of 19.5 A/mm2 increases tensile strength by 36 MPa and elongation by 5.7% compared to the original rolled sample, resulting in superior mechanical properties. Comparative analysis with isothermal annealing, conducted at equivalent temperature and duration, reveals that the PEC treatment modification process is not solely attributable to thermal effects but rather represents a synergistic interaction between non-thermal and thermal effects. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis reveals that PEC treatment can refine grain size and adjust the austenite-ferrite ratio. Field emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that PEC treatment facilitates dislocation movement, forming dislocation lines and walls, and promotes recrystallization nucleation. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) indicates enhanced diffusion of alloying elements, reduced austenite stability, and phase transformation under PEC treatment. This study underscores the potential of PEC treatment in advancing the mechanical performance of duplex stainless steels. The simplicity, rapidity, and low energy consumption inherent to PEC processing make it a compelling choice for manipulating these materials.

利用短时脉冲电流协同提高2205双相钢的强度和延展性
与传统热处理相比,脉冲电流(PEC)直接应用于材料可以诱导微观结构的改变,从而提高机械性能。脉冲电流处理具有简单、快速、低能耗等特点。本研究探讨了不同电流密度下PEC处理对2205双相不锈钢力学性能和显微组织的影响。当电流密度达到19.5 A/mm2时,与原始轧制样品相比,拉伸强度提高了36 MPa,伸长率提高了5.7%,具有优异的机械性能。在等效温度和等效时间下与等温退火的对比分析表明,PEC处理的改性过程不仅仅是由热效应引起的,而是由非热效应和热效应协同作用引起的。电子背散射衍射(EBSD)分析表明,PEC处理可以细化晶粒尺寸,调节奥氏体-铁素体比。场发射透射电镜(TEM)显示,PEC处理有利于位错运动,形成位错线和位错壁,促进再结晶成核。能量色散x射线能谱(EDS)表明,PEC处理增强了合金元素的扩散,降低了奥氏体的稳定性和相变。本研究强调了PEC处理在提高双相不锈钢力学性能方面的潜力。简单,快速,低能耗固有的PEC处理使其成为操纵这些材料的一个引人注目的选择。

期刊介绍: Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
