    Effect of niobium on microstructure and mechanical properties of a hypereutectoid steel.
    (2022) Pessoa, Ricardo Amorim; Porcaro, Rodrigo Rangel; Cândido, Luiz Cláudio; Pereda, Beatriz; Lopez, Beatriz
    High-carbon steels have been used to high-strength steel wire and strands for prestressing concrete. The necessity of high-strength levels at increasingly larger diameters of wire rods is a technological challenge. Two steels with and without Nb were obtained in a steel mill, submitted to detailed microstructural (previous austenitic grain size, pearlite interlamellar spacing and colony size) and mechanical characterization through tensile tests and hardness. Hot torsion and dilatometry tests were performed to simulate steels processing and to verify the influence of Nb on phase transformation. Adding Nb to steel resulted in a refinement in austenitic grain size and pearlite colonies but had no effect on pearlitic interlamellar spacing. There was a decrease at the start transformation temperature austenite/pearlite and therefore an increase in the hardenability of the Nb-added steel. Finally, Nb addition proved to be a technical and economical way to increase tensile strength and to reduce the variability of the mechanical properties.

    Effect of volume fraction of phases and precipitates on the mechanical behavior of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel.
    (2015) Lacerda, José Carlos de; Cândido, Luiz Cláudio; Godefroid, Leonardo Barbosa
    Mechanical properties of a grade UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel were studied. Samples were annealed at three different temperatures, 1060 C, 1200 C, and 1300 C, to change the a/c proportion, to precipitate undesirable phases (for example, a0 , r and chromium nitrides), and to study the effect of the microstructure on the mechanical behavior. Specimens with a thickness of 1.8 mm were prepared according to ASTM standards and tested at room temperature. Tensile tests were conducted using displacement control at a rate of 5 mm/min. Force-controlled constant amplitude axial fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 30 Hz and an R stress ratio of 0.1. Microstructural analyses, performed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, showed the following modifications to the microstructure: changes in the phase volume fractions, the phase grain growths, and the morphology of the c-phase and the precipitation of chromium nitrides in the a-phase. The mechanical properties of the steel were significantly changed due to the changed microstructure. The results demonstrate the sensitivity of the steel to the annealing temperature.
