Description

Method for counting ultra-fine ferrite phase in austenitic stainless steel welding seam
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of material tissue analysis, and particularly relates to a method for counting an ultra-fine ferrite phase in an austenitic stainless steel weld joint.
Background
Austenitic stainless steel has better corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, good formability and excellent weldability, is an important class of stainless steel series materials, the yield of the austenitic stainless steel accounts for about 70 percent of the total yield of the stainless steel, the heating temperature is overhigh, and delta ferrite is formed under the reasons of overlong retention time in high temperature, chemical composition fluctuation and the like. The quantity and distribution form of delta ferrite are closely related to the impact toughness, and the steel has certain magnetism, thus seriously influencing the application of the steel in special fields such as instruments and the like.
The delta ferrite plays an extremely important role in austenitic stainless steel welds. A certain amount of ferrite is often required to be formed in an austenitic stainless steel welding seam so as to have good plasticity and toughness, prevent the welding seam from generating solidification cracks (hot cracks), obviously improve the weldability and improve the safety degree of a welding structure; meanwhile, the appropriate content of delta ferrite and distribution form can improve the intergranular corrosion resistance and stress corrosion resistance of the welding joint. However, it is generally desirable to control the ferrite content in the weld to about 5%.
Meanwhile, delta ferrite has a certain negative effect in the weld: for the weldment needing heat treatment at the temperature of more than 600 ℃ after welding or the weldment working at the temperature of 600-850 ℃ for a long time, sigma phase is separated out from delta ferrite at the high temperature, so that weld metal is embrittled; the corrosion resistance of austenite is reduced due to the fact that the content of delta ferrite is too high, electrode potentials of ferrite and the electrode potentials of the austenite are different, and after the quantity of the ferrite exceeds a limit, the pitting corrosion tendency is increased; too high a content of delta ferrite also increases the tendency of hot working to crack. Because the content of delta ferrite has great influence on the welding seam performance of steel, the control requirement on the content of delta ferrite in steel grades is generally required. Therefore, it is important to grasp the measurement method of the δ ferrite content in austenitic stainless steel.
At present, most of patents related to austenitic stainless steel welding relate to welding process methods, and few patents are provided for detection methods of weld structures. The pending patent, "a method for analyzing and detecting the ratio of two phases in a cast structure of duplex stainless steel", application No. 201711137137.1, is applied to the determination of the content of ferrite and austenite phases in the cast structure of duplex stainless steel, generally, the ferrite phase in the cast structure is relatively coarse, non-ultra-fine structure, and is different from the weld structure, and the main right item of the method is mainly described in the step of electrolytic polishing, and the remaining patents related to the analysis of the weld structure or austenite-ferrite phase are the displaying methods under a metallographic microscope such as corrosive, dyeing and the like. In the patent of 'displaying method of metallographic structure of austenitic and ferritic dissimilar steel joint' with application number 201610457652.7, it is also mentioned that an electrolytic polishing method is needed when a welded joint structure is observed and a sample is prepared, the electrolytic polishing method needs a specific power supply and search of voltage and current parameters, the controllability of actual operation is poor, and personal safety is threatened when electrolytic voltage is too high.
The method for measuring the ferrite content in the welding line can find 1 relevant standard, namely GB/T1954-2008 'method for measuring the ferrite content of the chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel welding line', wherein the magnetic method and the metallographic method are mentioned for measurement: by utilizing the magnetic property of ferrite, the content of delta-phase ferrite in austenitic steel is in direct proportion to the ferromagnetism of steel, and a special magnetic measuring instrument can be used for directly measuring and reading the ferrite content; metallographic examination method: the relative amount of the cut by the dividing ruler on the micrometer eyepiece with 100 scales or the 100-dividing eyepiece piece is determined by the secant method under the condition that the microscope magnification is not less than 500 times, and the obtained numerical value is the relative content of the ferrite in the view field or the distribution condition and the occupied area ratio of the delta ferrite in the austenite observed under a metallographic microscope or compared with a standard metallographic picture to detect the approximate content of the delta ferrite.
The existing magnetic method has the defects that the distribution form of delta ferrite cannot be known, and the influence of the delta ferrite on the corrosion resistance and the like cannot be estimated; the existing metallographic detection method refers to a contrast method, the content is roughly determined, and the method depends on the resolution of a metallographic microscope, and at present, the highest resolution of the metallographic microscope is about 400nm, so that the ultra-fine delta ferrite phase which is less than or equal to 300nm in a welding line cannot be clearly observed.
In order to realize quantitative analysis of the ultrafine delta ferrite phase in the weld joint and assist in controlling the process adjustment of the ferrite content, the development of a research on a method for counting the ultrafine ferrite phase in the austenitic stainless steel weld joint is very critical and necessary. At present, no technical report of the similar ultra-fine ferrite phase in the austenitic stainless steel welding seam is found.

The basic principle of the electron back scattering diffraction analysis method in the scanning electron microscope is as follows: the basic layout of the analysis system is shown in fig. 1. The sample in the sample chamber is typically tilted 65-70 deg., and the absorption signal is reduced by reducing the path of the backscattered electrons out of the surface to obtain a sufficiently strong backscattered diffraction signal. Incident electron beams act on the surface of a sample, when the incident electron beams enter a certain crystal face and meet Bragg diffraction conditions, Bragg diffraction is generated to generate a chrysanthemum cell band, a three-dimensional pattern consisting of diffraction cones is projected onto a low-light-intensity phosphor screen, the chrysanthemum cell band pattern which is mutually crossed is cut on a two-dimensional screen, the pattern is received by a back CCD camera, processed by an image processor (such as signal amplification, addition and averaging, back-bottom subtraction and the like), collected into a computer by a capture image card, the computer automatically determines the position, the width, the intensity and the inter-band included angle of the chrysanthemum cell band through hough transformation, compares the position, the width, the intensity and the inter-band included angle with theoretical values in a corresponding crystallography library, marks out a corresponding crystal face index and a crystal band axis, and calculates the orientation of a measured crystal grain crystal coordinate system relative to a sample coordinate system.
The shape and the property of the electron back scattering diffraction pattern are related to the crystal structure of a tested sample, each pair of chrysanthemum pool lines corresponds to a group of crystal faces in the crystal, the intersection of the chrysanthemum pool lines represents a crystallographic direction, and the chrysanthemum pool lines formed by different crystal faces form an electron back scattering pattern. Each crystal has its specific structural parameters and can react in an electron back-scattered diffraction pattern, with different materials producing different diffraction patterns. It is therefore possible to distinguish between phases of similar chemical composition, such as the austenite phase (fcc structure) and the ferrite phase (bcc structure) in steel.
The method according to the invention is implemented to obtain the form and distribution map of the ultra-fine ferrite in the weld seam under the scanning step length of 100nm, wherein the ferrite is sketched by a coil, as shown in figure 2. Most of the ferrite phase is distributed along the grain boundaries, and according to literature reports, this distribution will improve the intergranular corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels, since the intergranular ferrite blocks the intergranular channels and extends the total channel length. The ferrite phase in the crystal is small in relative size, and is even up to the nanometer level.
Data analysis is performed on a single observation area, and the two-phase ratio of the ferrite phase and the austenite phase in a local area in the welding seam is obtained, and is shown in figure 3. Since the ferrite size is small, the overall occupation ratio is small even if the distribution range is large. After the average content is obtained in a plurality of areas, the process adjustment and design of ferrite content control can be guided.
FIG. 4 shows the size and distribution of ferrite phases in a weld bead at a scanning step of 100nm obtained after the method according to the present invention has been carried out. It can be seen that most of the ferrite phase in the weld has a grain area of less than 1 μm 2 Belongs to ultra-fine ferrite, and also has some ferrite phases with grain area larger than 4 μm.
Fig. 5 is a schematic illustration of the grain orientation of a single ferrite phase obtained after the method according to the present invention has been carried out. The method can not only count the content of the ferrite, but also count the orientation distribution condition of the ferrite crystal grains, and analyze the texture composition of the ferrite phase by measuring the orientation of single ferrite crystal grains and adding volume weight according to the principle.
