“…It is reasonable to assume that densely stacked dislocation arrays introduced intragranularly by austenite deformation can act as nucleation sites for AF. Actually, the nucleation of AF has been found at various deformation substructures, like deformation bands [9,13,56,57] and dislocation cell walls [58]. Therefore, despite a wide range of cooling rates used (5-50°C s -1 ) in this research, for samples undeformed (strain2 = 0) or slightly deformed (strain2 = 0.1), laths nucleated primarily on PAGBs where densely stacked dislocation arrays can be accommodated, and these laths finally developed into BF packets with a parallel morphology as shown in Figs.…”

Conditions for the occurrence of acicular ferrite transformation in HSLA steels

For the class of steels collectively known as high strength low alloy (HSLA), an acicular ferrite (AF) microstructure produces an excellent combination of strength and toughness. The conditions for the occurrence of the AF transformation are, however, still unclear, especially the effects of austenite deformation and continuous cooling. In this research, a commercial HSLA steel was used and subjected to deformation via plane strain compression with strains ranging from 0 to 0.5 and continuous cooling at rates between 5 and 50°C s -1 . Based on the results obtained from optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron backscattering diffraction mapping, the introduction of intragranular nucleation sites and the suppression of bainitic ferrite (BF) laths lengthening were identified as the two key requirements for the occurrence of AF transformation. Austenite deformation is critical to meet these two conditions as it introduces a high density of dislocations that act as intragranular nucleation sites and deformation substructures, which suppress the lengthening of BF laths through the mechanism of mechanical stabilisation of austenite. However, the suppression effect of austenite deformation is only observed under relatively slow cooling rates or high transformation temperatures, i.e., conditions where the driving force for advancing the transformation interface is not sufficient to overcome the austenite deformation substructures.

“…When the austenite is heavily deformed, a high density of dislocations will be introduced into the austenite, which can increase the potent nucleation site densities for AF. Actually, the nucleation of AF has been observed on many deformation defects, such as deformation bands [18,[44][45][46] and dislocation cell walls. [47] C.…”

Although there has been much research regarding the effect of austenite deformation on accelerated cooled microstructures in microalloyed steels, there is still a lack of accurate data on boundary densities and effective grain sizes. Previous results observed from optical micrographs are not accurate enough, because, for displacive transformation products, a substantial part of the boundaries have disorientation angles below 15 deg. Therefore, in this research, a niobium microalloyed steel was used and electron backscattering diffraction mappings were performed on all of the transformed microstructures to obtain accurate results on boundary densities and grain refinement. It was found that with strain rising from 0 to 0.5, a transition from bainitic ferrite to acicular ferrite occurs and the effective grain size reduces from 5.7 to 3.1 lm. When further increasing strain from 0.5 to 0.7, dynamic recrystallization was triggered and postdynamic softening occurred during the accelerated cooling, leading to an inhomogeneous and coarse transformed microstructure. In the entire strain range, the density changes of boundaries with different disorientation angles are distinct, due to different boundary formation mechanisms. Finally, the controversial influence of austenite deformation on effective grain size of low-temperature transformation products was argued to be related to the differences in transformation conditions and final microstructures.

“…A deformação na região de não-recristalização da austenita permite reduzir o tamanho desses pacotes, elevando a tenacidade das chapas grossas. Contudo, foi constatado que a deformação a quente não acarretou alteração significativa na temperatura de iní-cio da transformação bainítica (B s ) [Garcia ,1991, Yamamoto, 1995, Banerjee, 2001, Cizek, 2002.…”

A competitividade cada vez mais acirrada entre as diversas usinas siderúrgicas e também entre diferentes tipos de materiais continuam promovendo o desenvolvimento de novos aços estruturais microligados que atendam a requisitos de resistência mecânica e tenacidade cada vez mais severos. Outros aspectos igualmente desejáveis, como a supressão de tratamentos térmicos e melhor soldabilidade do produto, tornam essa evolução ainda mais complexa. Como a melhoria da soldabilidade do produto exige a minimização do teor de carbono do material, esses novos aços precisam dispor de mecanismos de endurecimento que dispensem a presença desse elemento. As alternativas mais viáveis são os aços endurecíveis por precipitação de cobre, do tipo HSLA-80 ou ASTM A710, ou os aços bainíticos com teor extra-baixo de carbono, do tipo ULCB. Palavras
