Detailed description of the invention
Hereinafter, low close to the high-intensity high-tenacity describing the present invention in detail by combining exemplary embodiment
Degree steel and manufacture method thereof.
Generally speaking, the present invention is that inventor requires to obtain fields such as being suitable for such as automobile steel
High-intensity high-tenacity low density steel, composition based on high-carbon high alumina design and the microcosmic to this composition hot-rolled steel
Organizational structure and the specificity analysis of fracture mechanism and subsequent heat treatment operation are to this composition hot-rolled steel microcosmic
The research such as the impact of organizational structure and fracture mechanism and discovery, and consider composition, processing technique, heat
Process technique etc., the creative work of experience hardships and draw.
In the present invention, steel to be rolled need to be controlled and there is the composition of high-carbon high alumina.Wherein, C content exists
Between 0.1~0.6%, Al content is between 4.5~7.5%.Preferably, C with Al content sum is not less than
5%.C is the element that primarily forms of carbide, higher C content, coordinates the aluminum content of the present invention to protect
κ carbide/the pearlite of card larger proportion exists.Alloy increases C content, it is possible to decrease hot rolling microstructure is thick
The probability that big interfacial carbide thing occurs, and interfacial carbide thing would generally in deformation initial crack, cause
Cracking, causes poor toughness.After C content increases, the thick carbide that interface goes out is by graininess or thin film
Shape carbide replaces, and the probability that crackle starts reduces, and can obviously improve hot-strip toughness.Al is ferrum
Ferritic stable element, it is ensured that a large amount of existence that in tissue, ferritic phase is stable.Additionally, Al is the present invention
Fe-C-Mn-Al system alloy in κ carbide primarily form element, determine the formation amount of κ carbide.
Compared with Al with Fe atom, for light element, steel adds aluminum due to metathesis can reduce atomic mass and
Expand lattice parameter, thus reduce the density of steel, it is achieved lightweight.Steel adds Al content 4.5~7.5%
Between, it is possible to decrease the density of steel, its addition more about advantageously reduces the density of steel.
In the present invention, the hot rolling low-density steel that steel to be rolled obtains after hot rolling (may be simply referred to as heat
Steel rolling) initial microstructure include: ferrite, Kappa pearlite (referred to as κ pearlite), with
And κ carbide, wherein, κ carbide can be located at ferrite interface, and/or is positioned at ferrite and κ pearly-lustre
Body interface.κ pearlite is formed by between the κ carbide of sheet and ferritic phase.κ pearlite and θ pearly-lustre
Body is compared has higher intensity, bigger fragility.According to Hall-Petch relation, the intensity of pearlite
Reduce with sheet interlayer spacing with hardness and increase.Al diffusion necessary in κ pearlite forming process reduces plate
Bar thickens kinetics, thus has refined κ pearlite interlaminar spacing, adds κ pearlite intensity.Due to
The characteristic of κ carbide itself, even if in the case of sheet interlayer spacing is identical, the intensity of κ pearlite also above
θ pearlite.And the Al content of the present invention is limited between 4.5~7.5%, higher Al content increases altogether
Phase separation height carbon content, improves the carbide proportion in pearlite.The sheet interlayer spacing that κ pearlite is thinner
Bigger carbide proportion so that it is there is higher intensity and fragility.
Hot rolling low-density steel in the present invention have poor toughness.Fracture the initial stage, ferrite with
κ carbide interface (being also denoted as ferrite/κ carbide interface) place or the κ carbon of ferrite grain boundaries
Easy initial crack at compound, this is due under identical stress condition, the ferrite of soft phase and hard phase κ carbonization
The dependent variable of thing is different, forms certain internal stress so that in two phase boundaries between ferrite and κ carbide
Crackle it is easily formed at face.Along with stress increases, cracks produces strong stress and concentrates, and crackle is along ferrum element
, there is interface peel in body/κ carbide interface extension, stress continues to increase, and big cracks can spread enters ferrite
Or inside κ pearlite.Due to the fragility that κ pearlite is bigger, material rapid crack propagation, cause in the present invention
Hot rolling low-density steel toughness poor.
Composition range based on high-carbon high alumina and to the heterogeneous microstructure of this composition hot-rolled steel and fracture machine
The characteristic of reason, this composition hot-rolled steel, through researching and proposing, is heated to a certain temperature range (i.e., by inventor
Less than Ac1The temperature range of 5~40 DEG C below temperature) and it is incubated more than 6h in this temperature range, it is preferable that
It is incubated 8~144 hours (such as, optional 6,12,36,72 hours etc. time), subsequently by arbitrarily side
Formula cools down, thus obtains the high-intensity high-tenacity low density steel product that toughness significantly improves.Aforementioned
Heating and isothermal holding, it is possible to the κ Carbides Evolution making sheet is near-spherical and/or corynebacterium, from
And it is obtained in that microscopic structure is by ferrite and the corynebacterium interspersing among on ferrite and/or the carbonization of near-spherical κ
The high-intensity high-tenacity low density steel product that thing is constituted, improves steel toughness, and improve its formability from
And be easy to be processed further, this is conducive to the requirement to steel such as such as automobile steel.And, the present invention
Composition of steel in Al content, beneficially eutectoid point carbon content increases, thus is conducive to obtaining further strong
The steel that toughness coupling is good.
In the present invention, the mechanism that κ Carbides Evolution is near-spherical and/or corynebacterium of sheet is generally:
Thermodynamic driving force comes from the reduction of interfacial free energy between κ carbide and iron matrix ferritic, and kinetics is driven
Power is to be caused its unit at interface between κ carbide and iron matrix ferritic by the uneven distribution of alloying element
Element diffusion provides.Due to the existence of concentration of element difference, the alloying element in κ carbide needs little from radius
Region (at banding top and thin neck) diffuse to the region that radius is bigger, in this way, carbonization
Thing ruptures, and is accumulated into particle.The nodularization process of carbide mainly includes two stages, i.e. κ carbide plate
Bar fracture and carbide particle are roughened.In the present invention, the interpolation of 4.5~7.5%Al elements has refined κ pearlite
Sheet interlayer spacing, add the driving force that κ pearlite is developed to near-spherical and/or corynebacterium by sheet,
Additionally, Al content also improves Ac1Temperature, thus shorten κ pearlite by sheet to near-spherical and/or
Corynebacterium evolution time.The κ carbide of sheet is after aforementioned heating and isothermal holding, and length reduces,
Size reduces, and the stress of interface is concentrated and reduced, simultaneously because its less size, stress is difficult to load
On carbide, it is achieved toughness improves.High-intensity high-tenacity low density steel product of the present invention has good
Intensity (such as, being not less than 560MPa) and plasticity (such as, elongation percentage improve to > 18%).

Being appropriate can normally complete hot-rolled process, subsequently, cooling (such as, air cooling) is to no longer undergoing phase transition
(such as, it is cooled to compare Ac1Arbitrary temperature of low less than 200 DEG C of temperature), obtain hot-rolled steel.Concrete next
Saying, the microscopic structure of the hot-rolled steel that hot-rolled step obtains by volume mark meter can be by the κ carbonization not less than 4%
The ferrite of the body-centered cubic structure of thing, cementite less than 2% and surplus is constituted.Here, hot rolling
