Description

High-strength and high-toughness low-density steel with multi-stage nanostructure strengthening effect and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal materials, and particularly relates to high-strength and high-toughness low-density steel with a multi-stage nanostructure strengthening effect and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Increasing the specific strength of structural materials is critical to improving energy efficiency, reducing environmental pollution, saving resources, and protecting the environment, and especially in the field of automobile manufacturing, light weight has become an unavoidable trend. Currently, the main methods for achieving the light weight of equipment include two approaches. The first method is to use structural materials with lower density, such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy and the like, but the wide application of the structural materials in the field of structural materials is limited due to poor strength and toughness and high cost. The second approach is to use high strength structural materials to reduce overall weight by reducing the size of the structural components, such as CP steel, DP steel, TRIP steel, TWIP steel, martensitic steel, Q & P steel, and the like. However, with the increase of strength, the plasticity of the materials is obviously reduced, and the density is higher, so that the requirements of high-strength, high-toughness and low-density materials cannot be met. Therefore, the limitations of the two approaches can be effectively solved by adopting a low-density high-strength structural material.
FeMnAlC series low-density steel is a novel light-weight high-strength material and can be divided into three types according to microstructure: austenitic low density steel, duplex low density steel, and ferritic low density steel. Among them, the austenitic low-density steel has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, and is a very promising next-generation high-strength and high-toughness low-density steel material. However, austenitic low-density steels are liable to form large-size kappa phase, DO3 phase, beta Mn phase and the like at grain boundaries, and the mechanical properties of the alloy are seriously affected, so that the existing low-density steels are difficult to have extremely high specific strength.
In the prior art, chinese patent publication No. CN115216703A proposes a high-strength low-density steel, which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 25 to 30 percent of Mn, 11 to 12 percent of Al, 1.0 to 1.2 percent of C, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The invention fully utilizes the work hardening and the dispersion strengthening of kappa-carbide to improve the strength (1900 MPa) of the low-density steel, but has lower plasticity (5 percent) and is difficult to meet the requirements of high-specific-strength high-toughness structural materials.
The Chinese patent with publication number of CN114752864A discloses ultra-high strength plastic low-density steel, which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 30 to 34 percent of Mn, 11 to 11.9 percent of Al, 1.2 to 1.29 percent of C, 4 to 7 percent of Cr, 0.5 to 1.2 percent of Cu, 0.01 to 0.3 percent of Nb, 0.01 to 0.3 percent of V, 0.01 to 0.3 percent of Ti, 0.05 to 0.1 percent of La, 0.0001 to 0.005 percent of B, 0.05 to 0.1 percent of N, less than or equal to 0.012 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.003 percent of S and the balance of iron and unavoidable impurities, and the low-density ultrahigh-strength high-plasticity steel has good plasticity, but has lower specific strength, lower yield strength of less than 1.0GPa and tensile strength of less than 1.1GPa.
Wang Z, lu W, zhao H et Al, in a paper published by Science Advance, ultrastrong lightweight compositionally complex steels via dual-nanoprisation [ J ]. Science Advances,2020,6, reported a low density iron and steel material Fe-26Mn-16Al-5Ni-5C, which had two coherent precipitate phases, and after heat treatment at 900 ℃ for 3 minutes, excellent mechanical properties including tensile strength of 1.4GPa and elongation at break of 38% were obtained. However, the alloy contains nickel element with higher cost, which is unfavorable for reducing the cost of the alloy.
