This study explores the carbide evolution behavior and mechanical property evolution mechanisms of intercritical-annealed 3Mn steel during the tempering process. The results show that appropriate tempering time can increase the elongation and tensile strength of the steel. It is observed that carbide precipitation occurs first, followed by dissolution during tempering. Abnormal degradation of mechanical properties is found at 10 minutes of tempering, while the optimal mechanical properties are achieved at 20 minutes of tempering.
This work explores the carbide evolution behavior and mechanical property evolution mechanisms of intercritical-annealed 3Mn steel during the tempering process by comparing different tempering times (5/10/20 min). The results showed that the elongation of 3Mn steel increased from 19.5% to 26.5% after tempering while maintaining a tensile strength above 1250 MPa. It is also found that carbide precipitation during tempering is first followed by dissolution. The mechanical properties exhibited abnormal degradation at tempering for 10 min, with a tensile strength of 1265 MPa and a total elongation of 16.0%. However, the optimal mechanical properties were achieved at tempering for 20 min, with a tensile strength of 1286 MPa and a total elongation of 26.5%. During the initial stage of tempering, a transformation occurs from M3C to stable M7C3, with the presence of numerous dislocations and grain boundaries promoting the precipitation and growth of abundant carbides. This leads to a reduction in the C and Mn content in the matrix, consequently decreasing the austenite content and stability, resulting in the transformation of austenite to the BCC phase during tempering instead of cooling. The decreased austenite content and stability lead to reduced ductility. Subsequently, dislocations were annihilated during tempering, suppressing carbide precipitation, and the over-precipitated carbides dissolved under thermodynamic driving force, leading to an increase in C and Mn content in the remaining austenite, thus enhancing its stability. The precipitation and dissolution of carbides during tempering, along with the partitioning of elements between carbides and austenite, strengthen austenite stability and improve mechanical properties.
