Investigation of Intercritical Annealing of Cold-rolled Ultra-high-strength Dual-phase Steel
Cold-rolled ultrahigh-strength dual-phase steel(chemical composition/%:0.220C,0.470Si, 2.500Mn,0.410Cr,0.050Al,0.020Nb) was intercritical annealed by a laboratory continuous annealing simulation machine to investigate the effect of annealing processes on microstructure and mechanical properties. The results show that a microstructure containing ferrite and martensite can be obtained. The martensite phase contributes to the high strength of dual-phase steel. Carbide precipitation during intercritical annealing contributes to precipitation strengthening. The presence of the retained austenite contributes to the combination of high strength and ductility of dual-phase steel. During intercritical annealing, prolonging the holding time leads the steel into an equilibrium stage of austenite growth. Consequently, the tensile strength gradually increases while the elongation decreases, both tending to stabilize after holding for more than 180 s. Excellent comprehensive mechanical properties that the tensile strength 1 350 MPa, yield strength 745 MPa, yield strength ratio 0.55, elongation 8%, and the strength-plasticity-product 10 800 MPa·% can be obtained when the cold-rolled ultrahigh-strength dual-phase steel holds 180 s at 820 ℃.
