摘要

In this study, the high temperature phase transformation behavior of Ce-Nb in synergistic treatment of high-strength spring steel and its influence on cooling microstructure after hot deformation were systematically analyzed. The results show that the continuous slow phase transformation process of Ce2O3 + Ce2C3 → Ce5Si3 → Ce2O3 + CeO2 related to solid solution Si will occur above 1010 °C when the addition of Ce to valve spring steel is 0.0488 pct. The higher the temperature is, the more favorable the phase transition process is. Most of the Ce2O3-Ce2C3 in the steel can be converted into Ce2O3-CeO2 by holding at 1150 °C for 4 hours. Three types of nanoscale particles, Ce2O3-CeO2, NbC and Ce2O3-CeO2-NbC, will exist in large quantities in the final steel. All tiny particles have a low two-dimensional lattice mismatch with BCC, which can inhibit the growth of austenite, induce martensite nucleation during cooling, and greatly refine the microstructure of steel after hot deformation.
