    Control of the Non-Metallic Inclusions near Solidification Front by Pulsed Magnetic Field

    by Zhimin Cui, Chunliang Yan, Yuanliang Li, Xingjuan Wang, Liguang Zhu, Qingjun Zhang

    Aiming to investigate the behavior of non-metallic inclusions near an advancing solid-liquid interface and the effect of a pulsed magnetic field on the distribution of inclusions, motions of inclusions without and within a pulsed magnetic field were observed in real-time during the solidification of 45 steel. The distribution of inclusions and the evolution of the microstructure were investigated. It was found that a pulsed magnetic field favors the engulfment of inclusions. A uniform distribution of inclusions was obtained. The microstructure was mainly composed of acicular ferrite within the pulsed magnetic field. A mathematical model was proposed to describe the reaction between inclusions and the advancing solid-liquid interface and the phenomenon of inclusion engulfment/pushing by the solidification interface. Furthermore, the critical velocity of inclusions to be engulfed was calculated. It can be concluded that the numerical value of the critical velocity of inclusions to be engulfed differs from the experimental value. After the revision of the mathematical model, the numerical value of the critical velocity was about 4.47 μm/s, validating the experimental value.

    Effect of Molybdenum on the Impact Toughness of Heat-Affected Zone in High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel

    by Xiaoyan Wu, Pengcheng Xiao, Shujing Wu, Chunliang Yan, Xuegang Ma, Zengxun Liu, Wei Chen, Liguang Zhu, Qingjun Zhang

    The microstructure, precipitates, and austenite grain in high-strength low-alloy steel were characterized by optical microscope, transmission electron microscope, and laser scanning confocal microscopy to investigate the effect of Mo on the toughness of steel. The microstructure was refined and the toughness was enhanced after the addition of 0.07% Mo in steel. The addition of Mo can suppress the Widmanstätten ferrite (WF) formation and promote the transformation of acicular ferrite (AF), leading to the fine transformed products in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). The chemical composition of precipitates changed from Nb(C, N) to (Nb, Mo)(C, N) because of the addition of Mo. The calculated lattice misfit between Nb(C, N) and ferrite was approximately 11.39%, while it was reduced to 5.40% for (Nb, Mo)(C, N), which significantly affected the size and number density of precipitates. A detailed analysis of the precipitates focusing on the chemical composition, size, and number density has been undertaken to understand the contribution of Mo on the improvement of steel toughness.
