3428 results about "Bainite" patented technology

Bainite is a plate-like microstructure that forms in steels at temperatures of 125–550 °C (depending on alloy content). First described by E. S. Davenport and Edgar Bain, it is one of the products that may form when austenite (the face centered cubic crystal structure of iron) is cooled past a temperature where it no longer is thermodynamically stable with respect to ferrite, cementite, or ferrite and cementite. Davenport and Bain originally described the microstructure as being similar in appearance to tempered martensite.

The invention provides a high-performance low-carbon bainitic structural steel, the chemical composition of which is: C: 0.04% to 0.07%, Si: 0.20% to 0.50%, Mn: 1.50% to 1.80%, Nb: 0.03% to 0.06% %, Ti: 0.005% to 0.030%, Cr: 0.25% to 0.50%, Cu: 0.30% to 0.60%, Ni: 0.20% to 0.50%, Als: 0.010% to 0.070%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable Impurities. The rolling process adopts TMCP+RPC process, the heating temperature before rolling is 1050-1220°C, two-stage controlled rolling is adopted, the rolling temperature in the recrystallization zone is controlled at ≥1000°C, and the rolling temperature in the non-recrystallization zone is controlled at 950°C~ (Ar3+0°C~100°C), the cumulative rolling deformation in the non-recrystallized area is greater than 50%, relax for 10-120s after rolling, and then accelerate cooling, the end cooling temperature is 380-530°C, and then air-cooled. The invention has low cost, does not need complex heat treatment, can obtain bainite structure without quenching and tempering, has high strength, high toughness, and good welding and weather resistance.

The invention relates to a low-carbon bainitic steel for engineering machinery, which is prepared from the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.05-0.10% of C, 0.20-0.50% of Si, 1.50-1.80% of Mn, at most 0.010% of S, at most 0.018% of P, at most 0.10% of Nb, at most 0.10% of Mo, 0.010-0.040% of Ti, 0.0010-0.0030% of B, 0.20-0.50% of Cr, 0.015-0.050% of Al and the balance of Fe and trace impurity. The existing equipment is utilized; molten iron pretreatment, reblowing converter smelting, LF (ladle furnace) refining, RH refining, and plate blank continuous casting are carried out; and the contents of part of elements are adjusted, microalloying treatment, TMCP (thermomechanical rolling process) production, controlled rolling and water cooling are carried out, and no heat treatment is required, thereby obtaining the bainitic steel for engineering machinery, which has the advantages of high strength and favorable low-temperature toughness. The bainitic steel for engineering machinery is widely used in the fields of engineering machinery manufacturing and the like, such as large-size load-bearing steel structures, large-size earth mover, autocranes, excavators, mining machines, hydraulic supports, electric wheel dump trucks, mine cars and the like.
