【摘要】 用改进的径迹显微照相技术研究了50B钢800—1150℃顶端淬火试样中硼分布状态的变化规律及其与硼钢淬透性的关系。试验表明,硼钢淬透性的变化与冷却时硼向奥氏体晶界偏聚的发展速度密切相关。由硼的成分剖面图可定量测定出这种偏聚的发展速度。晶界硼偏聚发展过快或过慢均不利于硼提高淬透性的效应。只有当晶界硼偏聚的发展速度与基体成分相变孕育期相配合时,硼才能发挥最大效应。利用这种观点可以说明硼钢淬透性的变化特征,分析影响硼钢淬透性的各种因素。更多还原

【Abstract】 The process of boron segregation to austenite grain boundary has been investigated by particle-tracking autoradiography of Jominy bar of a medium carbon boron steel （0.54%C, 0.75%Mn and 0.0027% acid soluble boron） quenched from different temperatures （800—1150℃） after heating to a same high austenitizing temperature （1150℃）. It has been shown that the boron segregation to austenite grain boundary in quenched specimens increases with increasing quenching temperature and is related to and dominated by a process other than equilibrium adsorption. In the present work, it has been found that at any position of the Jominy bar, the grain boundary segregation develops continuously during cooling and the final extent of segregation varies with Jominy distance. The grain boundary segregation intensifies as the cooling rate decreases and changes from continuous boronenriched networks to discontinuous aggregation and even to discrete precipitation of boron constitutents. The developing rate of grain boundary segregation increases with increase of the quenching temperature. The boron concentration profiles and the widths of boron-depleted zone have been experimentally measured, and the developing rate of grain boundary segregation estimated and related to the hardenability of boron steel.Under a given quenching temperature, the width of the boron depleted zone x_i is inversely proportional to A^1/2, where A is the cooling rate or x=H（T_i）/A^1/2. H（T_i） increase with increasing quenching temperature and is a reflection of the rate of grain boundary segregation and effects of composition and other structural factors. It is suggested that the effect of boron on the hardenability depends on the relative rate of segregation to austenite grain boundary and the incubation of the austenite decomposition, and is at its best when the correlation of both rates is optimum.更多还原
