Effects of Ultrasonic Treatment during the Solidification Process on the Structure Formation of Low Carbon Steel

چکیده
This paper studied effects of ultrasonic treatment during the solidification process on structure formation of low carbon steel. Results showed that with ultrasonic treatment grains were refined and the steel ingot avoided the cast widmanstatten structure. When ultrasonic treatment was employed, pearlite was broken and the average length of pearlite was decreased from 550mm to 140mm. The corresponding aspect ratio was reduced from 12 to 1. At high magnification the treated pearlite was cloud-like, rather than plate-like, as normal. Ultrasonic treatment also can remove the gas from low carbon steel. These phenomena of low carbon steel generated by ultrasonic treatment were explained. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2011091]

Solidification and thermal performance analysis of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process
The present paper evaluates the effect of the nozzle characteristics on the heat transfer and phase change of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process. A three-dimensional energy equation and a solidification model are used to drive the governing equation of the phase change and temperature distribution. A linear relation is obtained to predict the temperature-dependent of the...

One of the most promising ways to produce a grain-refined microstructure in some steel materials is the thermomechanical processing route of subcritical recrystallization annealing of a cold-deformed martensite structure. In the present study, the microstructural evolutions and the associated recrystallization kinetics under various subcritical annealing heat treatment conditions are explored i...
