The various combi nations of M23C6, MX, NbCrN, and σ and G phases in the steel were found at different aging states. In the begin ning of aging, M23C6 precipitates swiftly along the grain boundaries. When the aging time exceeds 6 000 h, precipita- ted M23C6 carbides along the grain boundaries turn to be granular. It was found that Si element segregates to grain boundaries during above process, which may enhance the granular shape of M23C6 carbides and its transformation to and G phases. When the aging time exceeds 10 000 h, various shaped a phase and granular G phase appear along the grain boundaries and there are no continuous M23C6 carbides along the grain boundaries. Meanwhile, a large quantity of granular M23C6 carbides and a minor amount of G phase precipitate near the grain boundaries. Based on the segre- gation of silicon to the grain boundaries, a precipitation evolution model during aging was concluded.展开更多

The hot deformation activation energy of the test steel is 625 kJ/mol. The hot deformation equation and the relationship between the peak stresses, deformation temperature and strain rate were set up. The Zener-Hollomon parameter under various conditions was determined. The relation between the Zener-Hollomon parameter and the microstructure evolution of test steel was discussed. With the decrease of Zener-Hollomon param- eter, the microstructure of test steel transforms from deformation instability to dynamic recovery, partial dynamic recrystallization, full dynamic recrystallization with equiaxial structure, and finally to full dynamic recrystaUization with mixed crystal structure. The deformation condition can be adjusted easily by utilizing the Zener-Hollomon pa- rameter to obtain equiaxial microstructure.展开更多

An increasing number of deformation twins have formed as the cold rolling reduction degree increases during the cold rolling process. During the tensile process at 700 ℃, M23C6 particles generated along the deformation twin boundaries, and NbCrN nanoparticles dispersedly precipitated throughout the austenite grains. For the high-temperature tensile sample subjected to cold reduction for 80%, it is observed from the fractured cross section that numerous defor-mation twin boundaries were decorated by discontinuous M23C6 particles. Therefore, austenite grains were divided into several independent zones by the deformation twins, and the grains were refined. Due to the grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening, the high-temperature temporal strength of the 80% cold-rolled sample was significantly improved, and simultaneously, this sample exhibited favorable high-temperature elongation.展开更多
