Change, realize part formation of martensite process, martensite and retained austenite body tissue needed for obtaining niobium micro-alloy steel billet help to mention
The intensity of high niobium micro-alloy steel billet.It is formerly diffused annealing and carries out bainitic transformation heat treatment, quenched to partial saturation
Stage, it is ensured that form a certain amount of tempered martensite and remaining martensite in tissue, using tempered martensite small structure, improve horse
Family name's body phase velocity realizes partial martensite and tempered martensite so that martensitic traoformation occurs during tempering heat treatment
Change process generates a large amount of tempered martensites, finally obtains including ferrite, retained austenite, bainite, martensite and tempering horse
The niobium micro-alloy steel billet of family name's body, it is ensured that the raising of the tensile strength and elongation percentage performance of niobium micro-alloy steel billet, after overcoming tradition to forge
Normalizing heat treatment bainitic transformation is insufficient, and retained austenite is excessive at room temperature, and then the drawbacks of unstable mechanical property.
The preparation method of the Nb-microalloying low temperature high-performance steel, obtains uniform formation in diffusion annealing;It is high-intensitive
Acquisition and elongation percentage guarantee, then be realized by being quenched after isothermal holding in conjunction with subsequent tempering so that
Martensite, retained austenite are distributed in tempered martensite body, improve steel body stability, thus ensured steel body elongation percentage, it is real
