The influence of retained austenite (RA) stability on the impact abrasive wear and underlying mechanisms in bainitic steel remains insufficiently understood. In this work, the impact abrasive wear behavior of a bainitic steel was systematically investigated, with a focus on the RA stability. The tempering-induced microstructural evolution was characterized by SEM, TEM and EBSD, while RA stability was quantified via interrupted tensile tests combined with XRD-based determination of the strain-dependent RA volume fraction. The results indicated that under high impact loads, material loss was dominated by micro-fatigue induced spalling. During wear, RA underwent strain-induced phase transformation, which simultaneously provided transformation-assisted surface hardening and induced local volume expansion that alleviated stress concentration and retarded crack initiation and propagation. In contrast, excessively stable RA suppressed transformation-induced strengthening, thus providing limited improvement in the wear resistance. In addition, subsurface work hardening associated with ultrafine-grained layers and the blunting of abrasive particles by cementite further contributed to improved wear resistance after tempering. These findings provide new insights into the role of retained austenite in controlling the impact wear mechanisms of bainitic steels and offer reference for microstructural design of wear-resistant materials.
Silicon significantly affects the formation of carbide and nano-bainite structure, thus affecting the wear resistance of the alloys. To clarify the effect of silicon content on the microstructure and wear resistance of high vanadium wear-resistant alloys (HVWA), three silicon contents (0.66 wt%, 2.14 wt%, 5.17 wt%) were designed in HVWAs, and nano-bainite matrix was obtain through isothermal quenching process at low temperature. The vanadium carbides(VC) are distributed in nano-bainite matrix. The number of pellet/agglomerate VC in HVWAs increased and the number of strip/chrysanthemum VC decreased with increasing silicon content. The thickness of bainite ferrite strip and thin film retained austenite gradually decreases with the increase of silicon in the alloy, and the thickness of bainite ferrite strips in three alloys is 100-600 nm, 50-450 nm and 50-350 nm, respectively. When the silicon content is 2.14 wt%, the alloy has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and wear resistance. Compared with other two alloys, the impact toughness of alloy with 2.14 wt% Si was improved by 10.2 % and 151.8 % respectively, and the wear weight loss was decreased by 35.4 % and 60.1 % under the conditions of 2.387 MPa wear load and 48 mu m abrasive size. Due to a larger amount of high hardness pellet/agglomerate VC and significantly refined nano-bainite matrix which can efficiently resist abrasive scratches, the alloy with 2.14 wt% Si obtains superior toughness and wear resistance.
Isothermal hot compression experiments were conducted on 12Cr2Mo1V steel to investigate the hot deformation behavior at the temperature range of 900-1200 degrees C and the strain rate range of 0.01-5 s-1 by using a Gleeble-1500D thermo-mechanical simulator. Microstructural evolution was characterized using optical microscope, electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscope analysis. Results demonstrate that increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate generally promote dynamic recrystallization (DRX) while reducing geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities. However, at 1200 degrees C with a constant strain rate of 0.1 s-1, as well as at 1150 degrees C with strain rates of 0.1-0.01 s-1, GND densities exhibited an anomalous increase due to the formation of subgrains evolved from dislocation cells. According to the measured true stress-strain data, the hot processing maps were constructed, identifying the optimal workability window at 1170-1200 degrees C and 0.01-0.1 s-1. The constitutive model was constructed based on Hansel-Spittel model and incorporated into FORGE (R) software to perform the finite element simulations on the hot deformation process of 12Cr2Mo1V steel. The predicted force-displacement curve results agree well with the measured curves, verifying the dependability of the Hansel-Spittel constitutive model for describing the rheological behavior of 12Cr2Mo1V steel during hot compression. With the increase of temperature, the variation of equivalent strain within the sample reduced, which is beneficial to obtain homogenous microstructure.

采用原位法制备出(W&Ti)C复相颗粒增强高铬铸铁基复合材料,研究了增强颗粒对材料显微组织和磨损行为的影响规律.结果表明:与高铬铸铁相比,复合材料显微组织中WC和TiC颗粒的存在使其洛氏硬度(HRC)从55提高到70.在磨损过程中,高铬铸铁靠近磨损表面的M7C3型碳化物在磨料的反复作用下会产生裂纹并向基体内部扩展.破碎的碳化物更容易脱落,无法抵抗磨料对材料表面的犁削作用,从而加速材料的磨损.复合材料中相对较软的基体相在磨损时会逐渐被去除,磨损表面会暴露出大量WC和TiC颗粒.表面凸起的增强颗粒会承受来自磨料的主要破坏作用,进而有效地保护周边的基体材料.对比发现,在相同磨损条件下复合材料的磨损性能提高了 1倍以上.
