Fracture Behavior and Microstructure of 60Si2MnA Spring Steels Modified by V-Nb Inoculants

Abstract:

The microstructure of V-Nb inoculants after melt spinning was investigated by performing TEM examination and to the sample steels, the prior austenite grain sizes and fracture morphology were investigated by SEM observation. The results show that the V-Nb inoculants obtained is amorphous and the sample steel modified by V-Nb inoculants which make it possible to be a large amount of nucleation centers existing in the form of (V, Nb)C and achieve the effect of grain refinement in the solidification stages of liquid steel has been found to have the finest prior austenite grain sizes and the average prior austenite grain sizes of steel without addition of V and Nb(Steel A), steel microalloyed with V and Nb(Steel B) and steel modified by V-Nb inoculants(Steel C) are respectively 30μm, 20μm and 10μm. Tensile behavior of samples was studied under tempering at 400°C for 30 min after quenching, tensile results show that the fracture of steel modified by V-Nb inoculants appears dimples which represent ductile fracture. However the tensile fracture of V-Nb microalloyed steel is mixture of quasi-cleavages and dimples. Under tempering at 550°C for 30 min, Steel B and Steel C both show a fractograph with cleavage fracture.
