Abstract
The microstructure of medium-carbon non-heat treated steels by air-cooling shows ferritepearlite structure. Compared to the conventional Q/T steels, the strength of these steels containing V, Nb and Ti are similar to Q/T steels. However, their toughness are inferior. In this study, the mechanical properties and microstructures of low-carbon Mo bearing steels produced by direct-quenching process were investigated. Especially, the effect of Mo on the direct-quenched steels was examined. The direct-quenched steels containing Mo were found to have higher strength and toughness. Mo seemed to be effective in producing the fine structure and dense precipitates because of decreasing transformation temperature. The best results were 1211 MPa in UTS and 127.5 J in toughness in the oil quenched 0.15C+O.llV+ 0.035Nb+ 1.81Mo steel. Compared to 0.4% C microalloyed steels, this results showed that UTS increased by 45% and toughness by 2 times.
공냉에 의한 중탄소 비조질강은 페라이트와 펄라이트의 미세구조를 갖는다. 기존의 조질강과 비교하여 이재료는 V, Nb, Ti을 첨가하여 강도는 거의 동등한 반면 인성에 있어서 조질강에 비해 취약하다. 본 연구에서는 직접 소입 저탄소 비조질강의 기계적 성질에 미치는 몰리브덴의 영향을 조사하였다. 몰리브덴 첨가 직접 소입 비조질강은 고강도와 고인성을 나타내었다. 몰리브덴은 변태 온도를 저하시켜 미세한 구조와 균일한 석출 구조를 효과적으로 생성시킨ㄷ. 본 실험의 결과로 0.15C+0.11V+0.035Nb+1.81Mo의 재료를 유냉시켜 121MPo의 강도와 127.5J의 인성을 얻었다.
