Abstract
ABSTRACT In the current article, the influence of titanium on the hot ductility of peritectic-microalloyed steels, in the temperature range 600°C to 950°C, was investigated by tensile testing. The morphology of the fracture and the behaviour of precipitates, inclusions and microstructures near the fracture surface were observed and discussed. It was found that within the test temperature range, the reduction in area values of titanium-bearing steels were almost greater than 40%, which were much larger than those of titanium-free steels. This improvement was due to the formation of (TixNb1-x)(CyN1-y) precipitates and titanium-aluminium oxides with high titanium content that could act as the nucleation sites for dimples to promote the occurrence of ductile fracture. In addition, the austenite grain was refined and more uniform in size. The thickness together with the maintain temperature range of the ferrite films which distribute only along austenite grain boundaries were reduced.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cast Metals Research is devoted to the dissemination of peer reviewed information on the science and engineering of cast metals, solidification and casting processes. Assured production of high integrity castings requires an integrated approach that optimises casting, mould and gating design; mould materials and binders; alloy composition and microstructure; metal melting, modification and handling; dimensional control; and finishing and post-treatment of the casting. The Journal reports advances in both the fundamental science and materials and production engineering contributing to the successful manufacture of fit for purpose castings.
