The results showed that the efficiency of decarburization dramatically increased with increasing decarburization temperature. However,when the annealing temperature was increased to 825°C and 850°C,the steel's carbon content remained essentially unchanged at 0.002%. With increasing decarburization time,the steel's carbon content generally decreased. When both the decarburization temperature and time were increased further,the average grain size dramatically increased and the number of fine grains decreased; meanwhile,some relatively larger grains developed. The main texture types of the decarburized sheets were approximately the same: {001}<110> and {112~115}<110>,with a γ-fiber texture. Furthermore,little change was observed in the texture. Compared with the experimental sheets,the texture of the cold-rolled sheet was very scattered. The best average magnetic induction(B_(800)) among the final products was 1.946 T.展开更多

The results showed that a higher content of inhibitor elements directly resulted in a greater number of fine inhibitors, which exhibited strong inhibitory ability, leading to more fine precipitates of appropriate size effectively inhibiting the growth of primary grains in decarburized bands （sheets） during the single-stage cold-rolling process. The formation of the component with { 110}〈001〉 Goss orientation was greatly suppressed in the stage of primary recrystallization, and this component could hardly be observed in the decarburized band; by contrast, the {411 }〈148〉-oriented grains grew. During the process of high-temperature annealing, abnormal growth occurred and secondary recrystallized grains （Goss orientation） merged with other matrix grains such as { 111 }〈112〉 and {411 }〈148〉. The magnetic induction of samples A and B at 800 Aim was 1.939 T and 1.996 T, respectively.展开更多

The microstructures of different layers at the crater bottom were characterized by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The cross-section observation was performed to reveal the grain refinement process driven by plastic deformation. Firstly, low energy dislocation structures （LEDS） such as dense dislocation walls （DDWs） and dislocation tangles （DTs） refine the original grains and form intersecting lamellar structures. With increasing strain, DDWs and DTs transform into subboundaries with small misorientations to separate lamellar structure to cells. Subboundaries are converted to high misorientation grain boundaries, so ultrafine grains are formed. The formation of ultrafine grains was discussed in the dynamic recrystallization process due to the large strain and strain rate induced by spherical shock wave.展开更多

The impact for the pure iron is symmetric and with the same-thickness for both the flyer and the target plate. It is found that an abnormal multiple spalling happens in the pure iron sample as the pressure exceeds the α- ε transition threshold of 13 GPa. In the symmetric and same-thickness impact and reverse impact experiments of the FeMnNi alloy, two abnormal tension regions occur when the pressure exceeds the α - ε transition threshold of 6.3 GPa, and the reverse phase transition s - ~ begins below 4.2 GP. The experimental process is simulated successfully from the non-equilibrium mixture phase and Boettger＇s model. Such abnormal spalling phenomena are believed to relate to the shocked α - ε phase transition. The possible reasons for the abnormal multiple spalling, which occurs during the symmetric and same-thickness impact experiments of pure iron and FeMnNi alloy, are discussed.展开更多

It is shown that the macroscopic plastic flow of cold-rolled specimens, which occured during heating process under pre-loaded elastic stress, resulted from stressinduced recrystallization and recrystallization-induced plasticity. The characteristics and mechanism of this phenomenon were also preliminarily discussed.展开更多

The study focused on interfacial morphological, microstructural, and mechanical analyses of the composite cladding layers. Iron liquid–solid-phase zones were formed at copper/steel and iron interfaces because of the melting of the steel substrate and iron. Iron concentrated in the copper cladding layer was observed to exhibit belt, globule, and dendrite morphologies. The appearance of iron-rich globules indicated the occurrence of liquid phase separation（LPS） prior to solidification, and iron-rich dendrites crystallized without the occurrence of LPS. The maximum microhardness of the iron/steel interface was lower than that of the copper/steel interface because of the diffusion of elemental carbon. All samples fractured in the cladding layers. Because of a relatively lower strength of the copper layer, a short plateau region appeared when shear movement was from copper to iron.展开更多

The microstructures were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), meanwhile the corrosion resistance was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and anodic polarization. The results show that this treatment can remarkably improve the density and uniformity of microstructure, and enhance corrosion resistance of the pure Fe surface.展开更多

Scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum are used to observe cracks within parts, and results show significant brittle fracture morphology with chunks of manganese silicate and aluminum silicate inclusions present in the fracture surface. The chemical composition, mechanical properties, and microstructure are also analyzed for a corresponding batch of cold rolled pure iron sheet. The oxygen content of the material is found to be high,resulting in the random distribution of a large amount of long chain manganese silicate and aluminum silicate inclusions along the rolling direction, which corresponds to inclusions found on the fractured surface. The stamping cracks are thus assumed to be caused by the randomly distributed chain of inclusions within the cold rolled sheet. It is suggested that the amount of deoxidizer used should be more carefully controlled to decrease the inclusion contents and to thus avoid the recun＇ence of such defects.展开更多

The results show that near the melting point there is a medium-range orderstructure that fades away with the increasing temperature. The average nearest distance of atoms isalmost independent of the melts temperature, but the average coordination number, the atom clustersize and the atom number in an atom cluster all decrease with the increasing temperature of themelt. Near the melting point there are a lot of atom clusters in the pure iron melt. The atomcluster of pure iron has the body-centered cubic lattices, which are kept from the solid state. Andthe body-centered cubic lattices connect into network by occupying a same edge. The atoms in thesurrounding of the atom clusters are arranged disorderly.展开更多

The DTA method was employed to measure the undercooling of liquid iron during solidification. The relations between the cleanness of liquid iron and undercooling, thermodynamic driving force of nucleation, the nucleus forming energy, as well as the critical radius of nucleus have been investigated. The results showed that with the increase of cleanness of liquid iron the undercooling and thermodynamic driving force increased, while the nucleus forming energy and critical radius of nucleus decreased.展开更多
