摘要

This study investigates the effect of 0.008 wt.% Zr addition on the impact toughness of Mg-treated shipbuilding steel plate at − 20℃ through welding thermal simulation. The microstructure of the Mg-treated steel is predominantly composed of intragranular acicular ferrite (IAF) and polygonal ferrite (PF). The fine ferrite laths and their internal dislocation pile-ups contribute to enhanced plastic deformation capacity. The fracture surface after impact shows a ductile–brittle mixed mode, with evident microstructural deformation and a tortuous propagation path of the main crack. The microstructure of the Mg-Zr complex-treated steel mainly consists of bainite ferrite (BF), ferrite side plate (FSP), and grain boundary ferrite (GBF). The fracture surface displays a cleavage mode characterized by a smooth crack propagation path and limited microvoid formation. The density of secondary cracks beneath the main crack is approximately 3.0 times higher than that in Mg-treated steel. Regularly-shaped (Ti, Zr)(C, N) inclusions measuring about 5 μm observed in the Mg-Zr complex-treated steel serve as effective initiation sites for cleavage fracture. Under a heat input of 400 kJ/cm, the low-temperature impact energy values of Mg-treated steel and Mg-Zr complex-treated steel are measured to be 143 J and 23 J, respectively.
