Continuous Cooling Transformation of Overcooling Austenite and Structure Evolution of Si Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The static continuous cooling transformation (CCT)curves of 3.15 Si-0.036 C-0.21 Mn-0.008 S-0.008 N-0.022 Al are measured on Gleeble-3500 thermal mechanical simulator, the evolution of microstructure and the tendency of hardness are investigated by optical microscope (OM) and hardness tester. The results show that there is no evident change in microstructure which mainly are ferrite and little pearlite under different cooling rates, but the transition temperature of ferrite is gradually reduced with the increase of cooling rate. When the cooling rate is increased from 0.5°C/s to 20°C/s, the ending temperatures of phase transformation are decreased by 118°C, when cooling rate reaches to 10, Widmanstatten ferrite appears. The hardness of the steel turns out gradual upward trend with the increase of cooling rate.
