Abstract
Abstract High-strength rebar plays a supporting role in large engineering structures due to its excellent performance. In this study, the effect of different isothermal time treatments (30, 60, 100, and 200 s) at 650°C on the microstructure transformation and mechanical properties of rebars was investigated. The hot-rolling process was simulated by Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator. The microstructure, precipitates, and mechanical properties of high-strength rebar were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and a universal tensile test machine. Results show that when the isothermal time increased from 30 to 200 s, the ferrite grain size decreased from 10.632 to 8.326 μm, and the pearlite lamellar spacing was refined from 0.230 to 0.142 μm. The TEM confirmed that when the isothermal time increased from 30 to 200 s, the nanoscale (Nb, V, and Ti) C precipitates were uniformly distributed in the ferrite matrix and grain boundary, and the size of precipitates decreased from 34.014 to 29.916 nm; thus, the tensile strength increased from 752.477 to 780.713 MPa, and the yield strength increased from 574.714 to 621.434 MPa.
期刊介绍:
High Temperature Materials and Processes offers an international publication forum for new ideas, insights and results related to high-temperature materials and processes in science and technology. The journal publishes original research papers and short communications addressing topics at the forefront of high-temperature materials research including processing of various materials at high temperatures. Occasionally, reviews of a specific topic are included. The journal also publishes special issues featuring ongoing research programs as well as symposia of high-temperature materials and processes, and other related research activities.
Emphasis is placed on the multi-disciplinary nature of high-temperature materials and processes for various materials in a variety of states. Such a nature of the journal will help readers who wish to become acquainted with related subjects by obtaining information of various aspects of high-temperature materials research. The increasing spread of information on these subjects will also help to shed light on relevant topics of high-temperature materials and processes outside of readers’ own core specialties.
