摘要: 微合金化與熱處理工藝是提升鋼材性能最主要的兩種方法。本文以DH980高強鋼中NbC析出相為對象,研究了鈮含量分別為210 × 10–6、430 × 10–6和690 × 10–6和熱處理溫度分別為1000、1100、1200和1300 ℃的條件下,高強鋼中NbC析出相的析出行為。使用高溫硅鉬爐熔煉DH980連鑄坯并添加不同Nb含量進行鈮合金化,再將所得水冷樣置于硅鉬爐中完成不同溫度下的熱處理實驗,然后使用夾雜物自動掃描電鏡對實驗樣品進行夾雜物掃描、統計。經分析,鈮微合金化后的高強鋼中主要的夾雜物為Al2O3、MnS和NbC,其中,NbC析出相的尺寸范圍為0.7~6.0 μm,而1.0~2.0 μm尺寸的NbC居多。使用Factsage熱力學計算軟件計算NbC析出溫度及析出量,隨著鋼中鈮含量從210 × 10–6增加至690 × 10–6,NbC析出相的最高析出溫度逐漸升高,分別為1125、1200和1260 ℃,NbC析出率(NbC質量與所有夾雜物質量的比值)也逐漸從0.023%增加至0.047%、0.076%。MnS的析出溫度為1450 ℃,不隨Nb含量的變化而變化。鋼中NbC析出量隨著鈮含量的增加而增加,也隨著熱處理溫度的升高而增加。當熱處理溫度為1300 ℃時,NbC出現回溶現象,導致析出量減少。NbC尺寸主要與初始Nb含量、熱處理溫度、保溫時間有關,NbC尺寸會隨著Nb含量、熱處理溫度、保溫時間的提高而增加。本研究中建立了高強鋼中NbC析出動力學模型,預測了鋼中鈮含量、熱處理溫度、熱處理時間對NbC析出相尺寸的影響。Abstract: Microalloying and heat treatment are the most important ways to improve the steel properties . In this study, the precipitation behavior of NbC precipitates with Nb content of 210 × 10–6, 430 × 10–6, and 690 × 10–6 and heat treatment temperature of 1000, 1100, 1200, and 1300 ℃ were investigated. DH980 slab was melted in a silicon–molybdenum heating furnace with different Nb additions. The water-quenched steel samples were heated at different temperature in a furnace. The morphology and chemical composition of inclusions in steel samples were determined using an inclusion analysis system. The main inclusions in the Nb micro-alloyed high-Al high-strength steel were Al2O3, MnS, and NbC. The measured diameter of NbC precipitates ranged from 0.7 to 6.0 μm, which mainly concentrated on 1.0–2.0 μm. The precipitation temperature and amount of NbC were calculated using the thermodynamic calculation software Factsage. The initial precipitation temperature of NbC precipitates gradually increased to 1125, 1200, and 1260 ℃ as the Nb content increased from 210 × 10–6 to 690 × 10–6, respectively, and the NbC precipitation rate (the ratio of NbC mass to the mass of all inclusions) increased to 0.023%, 0.047%, and 0.076%, respectively. The precipitation temperature of MnS was 1450 ℃, which changed little with the content of Nb. Al2O3 was present at the melting temperature of steel. The amount of the precipitated NbC in steel increased with an increase in Nb content and heat treatment temperature. The NbC was dissolved in steel when the heat treatment temperature was 1300 ℃, resulting in a decrease in the precipitation of NbC. The size of the NbC precipitates was mainly influenced by the Nb content, heat treatment temperature, and heating time. With the increase in the initial Nb content, the difference in Nb content between the steel matrix and reaction boundary became larger, the diffusion driving force increased, and thus the size of NbC precipitates increased. The diffusion coefficient of Nb varied with the heat treatment temperature, which was hardly influenced by the Nb content. The diffusion coefficient increased with the increase in temperature, which promoted the diffusion of Nb. Consequently, the size of NbC increased with the temperature increased. The diffusivity of Nb increased with an increase in heating time, which also increased the size of NbC. Therefore, the size of NbC precipitates increased as the Nb content, heat treatment temperature, and heating time increased. A kinetic model of NbC precipitation in high-Al high-strength steel was developed to predict the effects of Nb content, heat treatment temperature, and heating time on the size of NbC precipitates.
