| Popis: | The effects of Mo on microstructure and deformation behaviour of intercritically annealed (760°C) and isothermally transformed (400 and 450°C) steels were studied using three alloys containing from 0 to 0·14 wt-%Mo and 0·1 wt-%C, 1·2 wt-%Si, and 1·5 wt-%Mn. Tensile specimens were tested at temperatures between −80 and 120°C. With the addition of Mo, hardenability increases and constant amounts (about 8 vol.-%) of austenite are retained in the microstructure independent of heat treatment conditions. A range of mechanical properties, which depended on alloying, microstructure, and testing temperature, was achieved. The optimum combinations of ultimate tensile strength and elongation, 700 MN m−2 and 34% and 620 MN m−2 and 39%, for the 0·14 wt-%Mo and Mo free steels, respectively, were obtained when significant amounts of retained austenite transform by strain induced mechanisms at high strains, increasing strain hardening and deferring necking to higher strains.MST/1508 |
