Abstract

Effect of deformation induced transformation (DIT) process on ferrite grain size and ferrite transformation volume fraction in the refractory low alloy steel 12 Cr 1 MoV by controlled rolling and controlled cooling technology were experimentally studied. Simulation experiments of hot deformation were carried out with the Gleeble-1500 system. Single-pass and multi-pass hot rolling process with different deformation temperature, deformation reduction, strain rate and cooling rate were performed separately. The ferrite grain size decreased and the ferrite volume fraction increased with decreasing deformation temperature, and the extra-fine ferrite grain about 1.01µm was obtained when the deformation temperature reached 780°C. Higher deformation reduction resulted finer ferrite grain size and higher ferrite volume fraction. Both the ferrite grain size and ferrite volume fraction decreased with increasing strain rate. The ferrite grain size decreased but the ferrite volume fraction didn't change much when the cooling rate increased. The grain size and the ferrite volume fraction were improved more by three-passes than two-passes rolling. The mechanism of grain refinement by DIT was discussed.
