Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Nb Alloyed Steel Processed by Hot Equal Channel Angular Extrusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Nb alloyed low carbon steel was processed by hot equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) and following transformation. The workpieces were heated up to the 960°C in the furnace for 10 min within the container block. Before extrusion, the die was preheated to 400oC. The workpiece was cooled in the die after ECAE process. 1 pass and 2 pass via route C were conducted at a speed of 32mm/s, the inter-pass time is about 2 sec. The sample of average ferrite grain size of about 2μm, a tensile strength of 800MPa, a total elongation about 20% is produced after 2 pass ECAE processed and subsequent cooling.
