Effect of Different Strain on Microstructure Evolution of Medium Carbon Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Uniaxial hot compression simulation experiment at 700°C with different true strain was carried out to study the microstructure evolution of medium carbon steel, the predominant mechanism on the cementite softening has been explored, the experimental results show that the volume fraction of deformation induced ferrite (DIF) increased with increasing true strain and even exceeds the equilibrium content. With the increase of DIF, more and more carbon atoms congregated in the boundaries such as the interface of DIF and the interphase of DIF/deformation austenite. Carbon congregation provides the right carbon content and the optimized microstructure for divorced decomposition during the process of controlled cooling. Therefore spherical or rod-like cementite and degenerated pearlite can be obtained.
