Abstract
A new composition steel was designed by adding 1wt.% Cu and 2wt.% Ni elements on the basis of low-carbon Ti-bearing microalloyed steel. The continuous cooling transition curve (CCT) is obtained by the phase transition curves, microstructure and hardness in the Gleeble3800 thermal simulation test machine. In order to further study the law of transformation and meet the needs of industrialized production, different cooling tests were carried out through industrialized trial production, and the corresponding organization and mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that when the cooling rate increases, the microstructure transformation appears as granular bainite (GB) → granular bainite + lath bainite (GB+LB) → lath bainite (LB) → lath martensite (M). The mechanical properties increase with the increase of cooling rate, and the yield strength increases in a positive correlation trend. The results show that the steel can obtain good and stable comprehensive mechanical properties in a large cooling rate range without heat treatment. The best mechanical properties with a good combination of yield strength and impact performance are obtained under ultra-fast cooling conditions.
