Microstructures, mechanical properties, and hot deformation behavior of borides reinforced high-modulus steels
摘要
This study explores high-modulus steel deformation mechanisms, revealing dynamic recrystallization dominance at 800°C with grain refinement via nucleation, while dynamic recovery prevails at 950°C. Temperature elevation shifts dynamic recrystallization from discontinuous to continuous modes. Fe1.1Cr0.9B0.9 phases enhance dynamic recrystallization nucleation through particle deformation zones. Following low-temperature hot rolling, the steel develops a dual-phase microstructure comprising fine grains and uniformly dispersed boride precipitates. This optimized structure achieves exceptional mechanical properties, including a high elastic modulus, tensile strength, and low density.
