High-Temperature Compression Behavior and Phase Transformations During Continuous Cooling of a Low-Alloy Cr-Ni-Mo Ultra-High Strength Steel

Abstract

A quenching and deformation dilatometer simulated the effect of different thermomechanical processing routes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Cr-Ni-Mo ultrahigh-strength steel. Hot compression tests were performed in the temperature range of 900–1200 °C and strain rates of 0.01–1 s−1, aiming at modeling the flow stress dependence based on the Zener-Hollomon parameter. Prior austenite grain size was evaluated under different austenitizing conditions and the effect of prior deformation on austenite transformation kinetics during continuous cooling are discussed. The effect of second-phase particles on deformation and recrystallization was determined utilizing scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Keywords: Cr-Ni-Mo steel, ultrahigh-strength steel, dilatometry, high-temperature compression.
