Abstract

Nano-precipitates strengthened steels exhibit excellent combination of high strength, high toughness and good weldability. In this study, the optimized thermomechanical processing and aging treatments are used to control simultaneously the matrix microstructure and nano scale precipitates. It is found that the mechanical properties are significantly influenced by thermomechanical processing. The aging temperature and aging time play a key role to control the strength of steel. XRD results reveal the transformation of phases after aging treatment was investigated. Optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used characterized microstructure and fracture modes. The effects of aging treatment and thermomechanical processing on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties are also discussed.
