Study on Normalizing Process for 100mm E40 Heavy Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of chemical composition, heat treatment process and microstructure on the properties of E40 heavy plate have been studied. After normalization process of thick TMCP plate for high strength hull steel, the structure is substantially more regular, but the strength decreases. The former microstructure consists of lath-like bainite, but after heat treatment it consists of ferrite and pearlite. The mechanical properties meet the requirement of GB 712 prescript. With cooling rate decreasing, grain size in normalizing samples increases gradually, and the strength decreases. With the holding time extending, grain growth is not obvious, and the strength decreases. The best normalizing temperature is 910 °C, and the best holding time is about100 min.
