AbstractNew continuous cooling transformation (CCT) equations have been optimized to calculate the start temperatures and critical cooling rates of phase formations during austenite decomposition in low-alloyed steels. Experimental CCT data from the literature were used for applying the recently developed method of calculating the grain boundary soluble compositions of the steels for optimization. These compositions, which are influenced by solute microsegregation and precipitation depending on the heating/cooling/holding process, are expected to control the start of the austenite decomposition, if initiated at the grain boundaries. The current optimization was carried out rigorously for an extended set of steels than used previously, besides including three new solute elements, Al, Cu and B, in the CCT-equations. The validity of the equations was, therefore, boosted not only due to the inclusion of new elements, but also due to the addition of more low-alloyed steels in the optimization. The final optimization was made with a mini-tab tool, which discarded statistically insignificant parameters from the equations and made them prudently safer to use. Using a thermodynamic-kinetic software, IDS, the new equations were further validated using new experimental CCT data measured in this study. The agreement is good both for the phase transformation start temperatures as well as the final phase fractions. In addition, IDS simulations were carried out to construct the CCT diagrams and the final phase fraction diagrams for 17 steels and two cast irons, in order to outline the influence of solute elements on the calculations and their relationship with literature recommendations.

In this study, the phase transformation behaviour of the carburised layer and the matrix of 23CrNi3Mo steel was comparatively investigated by constructing continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram, determining the volume fraction of retained austenite (RA) and plotting dilatometric curves. The results indicated that Austenite formation start temperature (Ac1) and Austenite formation finish temperature (Ac3) of the carburised layer decreased compared to the matrix, and the critical cooling rate (0.05 °C/s) of martensite transformation is significantly lower than that (0.8 °C/s) of the matrix. The main products of phase transformation in both the carburised layer and the matrix were martensite and bainite microstructures. Moreover, an increase in carbon content resulted in the formation of lamellar martensite in the carburised layer, whereas the martensite in the matrix was still lath. Furthermore, the volume fraction of RA in the carburised layer was higher than that in the matrix. Moreover, the bainite transformation kinetics of the 23CrNi3Mo steel matrix during the continuous cooling process indicated that the mian mechanism of bainite transformation of the 23CrNi3Mo steel matrix is two-dimensional growth and one-dimensional growth.

Three medium carbon Cr-Mn-Mo structural steels with different content of alloying elements were studied. The austenite transformation during continuous cooling was investigated using dilatometer and metallographic analysis. The CCT diagrams were plotted showing the effect of the increased alloying elements content and B and Nb micro-alloying on the hardenability of the studied steels. The hardness dependences on the cooling rate were obtained.

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.

Deformation dilatometry has been used to simulate controlled hot rolling followed by controlled cooling of a Nb microalloyed pipeline steels, the microstructure and transformation characteristics in the steel and the effect of deformation on transformation are studied. According to the results of both dilatometry measurements and microstructure observations, the continuous cooling transformation curves (CCT) of the tested steels are constructed. The results show that Nb content and deformation enhance the formation of acicular ferrite; the microstructure of the steel range from PF, QF to AF with increasing of cooling rates from 0.5 to 50°C /s in a two stages controlled rolling and the microstructure revolution is sensitive to cooling rates when it is lower than 5°C /s, however, when the cooling rate increasing further, the microstructure didn’t change very much but M/A constituents in matrix is refined and dispersed.
