Specifically, the effects of content and size of undissolved carbides on the microstructure and transformation kinetics of nano-bainite were analyzed. The results demonstrated that after prolonged austempering at low temperatures, the mixed microstructure composed of nano-bainite (NB), undissolved carbides (UC), and retained austenite (RA) was obtained in GCr15SiMo steel. When the experimental steel was austenitized at 900 ℃, the undissolved carbides gradually dissolved until reaching a stable state with increasing holding time. Furthermore, at the same austempering temperature, despite different volume fractions of undissolved carbides in the substrate, the volume fractions of nano-bainite in the final microstructures remained essentially the same. Moreover, the higher the content of undissolved carbides in steel, the faster the transformation rate of nano-bainite and the shorter the total transformation time.展开更多

At 1225℃, the replacement of Ti by Zr formed Zr2CS and (Zr, Ti)N (the Ti/Zr atomic ratio is 0.11) and reduced the consumption of Ti. At 925℃, it was identified that TiC phases were precipitated at first and Zr was incorporated into the TiC lattice in the subsequent precipitation process, which promoted the precipitation of titanium carbide. The calculation of the interaction coefficient between Ti, C, N and Zr showed that Zr reduced the activity of Ti and C and increased the activity of N in the iron matrix. Therefore, with the addition of Zr, the solubility of Ti was increased, and the consumption of Ti was reduced at high temperature in Ti microalloyed low-carbon steel. The thermodynamic calculation of carbide precipitation transformation showed that the replacement of Ti by Zr increased the nucleation driving force and the nucleation rate of titanium carbide, while the critical core size and the critical nuclear energy were reduced. As the holding time was extended, the Zr/ Ti atomic ratio increased and the size of the precipitates also increased. When the Zr/Ti atomic ratio reached a certain level, the size of the precipitates did not increase with further increase in atomic ratio. When the Zr/Ti atomic ratio in (Ti, Zr)C was 0.05-0.17,(Ti, Zr)C was the most stable carbide and the easiest to nucleate at 925℃. There was more of the (Ti, Zr)C phase than TiC at 925 ℃ after 50 and 100 s, and the time to complete the coarsening behavior of (Ti, Zr)C was shorter than that of TiC.展开更多

The microstructure of 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNb and 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNbW steels under quenched conditions were investigated by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray diffrac- tion （XRD）, and transmission electron microscope （TEM）. Thermodynamic cal- culation was also conducted. The results showed that the addition of W made undissolved carbides more and finer, which exerted strong pinning force on migrat- ing packet boundary and improved tensile strength significantly. M6C particles in 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNb steel were disappeared above 1193 K, while the M6C particles in 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNbW steel were disappeared above 1253 K, the calculation results were in agreement with the experimental.展开更多

This interaction is supposed to be the most important reason for the cavity shedding when, in a certain range of the cavitation numbers, some “resonance” effect can be reached. The incidence angle is 8? and the Reynolds number is 1.56 × 106. The hydrofoil with the span/chord ratio of 1.25 corresponds to the experiments carried out in the cavitation tunnel. The Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) is used on full 3D geometry of the straight NACA 2412 hydrofoil to capture the strong influence of side-wall effects. Real properties of water including estimated content of undissolved air are con-sidered to affect the compressibility of the mixture and its speed of sound. The link between strong pressure pulses during the cavity cycles and the interaction of fluid and vapor structures is discussed in detail.展开更多
