Description

Display method of austenite grain boundary of low-carbon quasi-bainitic steel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of physical inspection of metal materials, and particularly relates to a display method of austenite grain boundaries of low-carbon quasi-bainitic steel.
Background
The traditional bainitic steel mainly comprises bainitic ferrite and cementite, wherein cementite is easy to form a crack source in specific application and affects the service life of the steel, so that the precipitation of carbide is inhibited by adding alloy elements Si, al and the like in low-carbon steel, the cementite is replaced by carbon-rich residual austenite in the process of structure transformation, a special carbide-free quasi-bainitic structure is formed, and no obvious grain boundary reference property is generated in the process of grain size measurement.
The prior austenite grain boundary display comprises a carburization method, a simulated carburization method, a ferrite net method, an oxidation method, a direct hardening method, a cementite net method and a fine pearlite net method, wherein the carbide is formed to display the grain boundary and no atmosphere is added, but the method is to heat a sample to about the austenitizing temperature of 820 ℃, keep the temperature for 30min, cool the sample to below a lower critical temperature at a sufficiently slow cooling speed, and separate out the carbide from the austenite grain boundary, and the method needs to measure the critical temperature of steel types. The austenite grain size of the pearlite steel rail is usually prepared by adopting a fine pearlite net method and a direct hardening method, wherein the fine pearlite net method is mainly aimed at eutectoid steel, and a sample is incompletely hardened or adopts a gradient hardening method, so that austenite grains are surrounded by fine pearlite; the direct hardening method needs to heat the sample to the complete austenitizing temperature, preserve heat for 1h, quench with a larger cooling speed to obtain a martensitic structure, tempering for 15min at about 230 ℃ before corrosion to improve contrast, finally preparing the sample obtained by heat treatment into a metallographic sample, adopting picric acid aqueous solution, detergent and other active agents to corrode at a certain temperature to display grain boundaries according to a certain concentration ratio.
The invention patent CN201911410944.5 discloses a display method of austenite grains of spring steel, which mainly comprises the steps of preserving heat of the steel for 10-40 min at 850-900, quenching at a cooling speed of complete hardening, tempering and preserving heat of a cooled sample at 400-600 ℃ for more than 8h, cooling to 350 ℃ along with a furnace, and then cooling to room temperature in air; adding 50ml deionized water, 2-2.5 g picric acid, 1.5-2 g shampoo and 1g iron scale produced by high-line steel mill into a water bath beaker at 70 ℃, stirring uniformly to prepare corrosive liquid, standing a sample in the corrosive liquid for 30-60 s, taking out, flushing with alcohol, drying, and clearly showing austenite grain boundaries in the pattern. The invention patent CN201811095252.1 discloses a display method of austenite grains of spring steel, which mainly comprises the steps of preserving heat of the steel for 0.5-1 h at 850-900 ℃, quenching at a cooling speed of complete hardening, tempering and preserving heat of a cooled sample for more than 1-3 h at 400-600 ℃, and cooling to obtain a quenched sample; adding 2-3 g of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate into 100ml of saturated picric acid solution in a beaker, stirring until the sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate is completely dissolved, and dripping 1-3 drops of 2-5% CuCl 2 Preparing a solution into etching solution, and putting a sample into the solution to be corroded for 1-3 min; both methods require heat treatment to quench and temper the sample to form tempered martensite, the austenite grain size is easily changed by complete austenitization, and the corrosion process using saturated picric acid plus an active agent is complex and difficult to control.
