The effects of Ostwald ripening were studied by simulating different soaking time at 680 ~C using SCM435 steel. The spheroidized specimens were analysed by conducting microstructure and mechanical tests. After increasing the soaking time from 2 to 6 h at 680 ~C during subcritical annealing, the number of carbide particles and the spheroidization ratio increased gradually, and the formability was improved. When the soaking time ranged from 6 to 8 h, the spheroidization ratio was similar; however, the number of carbide particles decreased, and the formability gradually worsened. Therefore, by comprehensively comparing the microstructures and mechanical properties, the optimum soaking time was determined to be 6 h at 680 ~C during subcritical annealing to obtain preferable cold heading. In addition, the carbide particles gradually coarsened when the soaking time was extended from 2 to 8 h. A formula was presented to quantitatively characterize the progress of Ostwald ripening of the carbide particles during the subcritical annealing of SCM435 steel, and the relative error was less than 8.02%.展开更多
