摘要: 通过合金成分与淬、回火工艺优化获得1900、2000和2100 MPa级别的超高强弹簧钢,并对比研究了这3种超高强钢的组织、性能与强化机制。结果表明,随着C和V含量的提高,钢材原奥氏体晶粒尺寸由28.8 μm减小到16.0 μm。2100 MPa级别钢的抗拉强度达2130 MPa,断面收缩率为42%。进一步研究表明2100 MPa级别弹簧钢含有高达16.2%的残留奥氏体,在拉伸变形时,残留奥氏体发生相变诱发塑性(TRIP)效应使钢材加工硬化能力和均匀伸长率显著提高。2100 MPa级别弹簧钢强度主要来源于固溶强化、位错强化与沉淀强化,其强化贡献值分别为391、808和469 MPa。细化的原奥氏体晶粒以及残留奥氏体的TRIP效应是2100 MPa级别超高强弹簧钢具有优异强塑性的关键。

Abstract: Three ultra-high strength steels (1900, 2000 and 2100 MPa) were prepared by optimizing the alloy compositions and quenching and tempering processes. Their microstructure, mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms were comparatively investigated. The results show that the prior austenite grain size decreases from 28.8 μm to 16.0 μm with the increase of C and V content in the steel. The tensile strength of 2100 MPa grade steel actually reaches 2130 MPa, and the percentage reduction of area is 42%. Further research shows that, the retained austenite in the 2100 MPa grade steel is up to 16.2% in volume fraction, and contributes a transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect during tensile deformation, which significantly improves the work-hardening ability and uniform elongation of the steel. The strength of the 2100 MPa grade spring steel wire mainly comes from solution strengthening, dislocation strengthening and precipitation strengthening, and their contribution values are 391, 808 and 469 MPa, respectively. The fine prior austenite grain size and the TRIP effect from the retained austenite are the key to the excellent strength and ductility of the 2100 MPa grade ultra-high strength spring steel.
