Влияние термической обработки на образование соединения MNS в низкоуглеродистой конструкционной стали 09Г2С

Abstract

Introduction. The properties of steels are determined by many factors, including the manufacturing process and subsequent treatment. Some features of these processes lead to the fact that in steel, apart from alloying elements added to obtain a certain level of physical and mechanical properties, there are also foreign impurities that enter it at various stages. Foreign elements can not only dissolve in the matrix, but also participate in the formation of particles of nonmetallic inclusions acting as defects. Its presence significantly affects the performance characteristics of the material. That is why it is necessary to understand the processes that lead to the appearance of nonmetallic inclusions and affect its shape. Purpose: to consider the effect of heat treatment, leading to the appearance of a ferrite-martensitic structure, on the shape and size of nonmetallic inclusions; to determine its influence on the physical and mechanical properties of the material. In the work, samples of rolled steel 09Mn2Si after heat treatment are studied. Research methods. To study the properties and structure of steel 09Mn2Si, the following methods were used: scanning electron microscopy – to study the structure of the material, chemical composition in the local area and the site under study and to determine the accumulation of impurities; SIAMS 800 software and hardware complex – to compare the structure of the material with the atlas of microstructures, to determine the score of the grain structure, differences in the structural and phase composition occurring during heat treatment; portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer of metals and alloys X-MET 7000 - to determine the chemical composition of the samples under study in percentage terms; Vickers hardness tester with a preload of 20 kg – to measure the hardness of the samples under study. Results and discussions. It is found that in the low-alloy low-carbon structural steel 09Mn2Si in most cases there are nonmetallic inclusions of the type of manganese sulfide formed during its manufacture. When this steel is heated to the temperatures of the intercritical transition, this compound is formed in the area of grain boundaries in the form of spherical inclusions. The presence of these inclusions significantly affects the strength and corrosion properties. Manganese sulfide acts as the point of the corrosion process initiation.
