Item 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, BeatrizHigh-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.Item Avaliação da eficácia da técnica de difração de raios-X para caracterizar fases presentes em dois ferros fundidos cinzentos perlíticos com diferentes adições de nióbio.(2021) Reis, Bárbara Cristina Mendanha; Faria, Geraldo Lúcio de; Bortoluzzi, Mirian Batista de Oliveira; Pereira, Natália Fernanda Santos; Carmo, Denilson José do; Santos, Anderson Júnior dos; Câmara, Marcelo AraújoThis work aims to present a brief state of the art regarding the characterization techniques currently used to evaluate the effects of fabrication processes on the structure of gray cast iron, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) to identify and quantify the phases present in two types of gray cast iron: one with low (0.02% by weight) and the other with high niobium content (0.21-0.24% by weight). For both samples, the three main phases were identified: graphite-G, ferrite-Fe(α) and cementite-Fe3C. However, not even for the sample with the highest niobium content, niobium carbide (NbC) was identified by this technique, a fact justified by the detection limit of the conventional diffractometer used and the small fraction of this carbide in the analyzed samples. The modification in the niobium concentration was not enough to promote significant differences in the diffractograms. The fluorescence of iron excited mainly by Cu Kα radiation resulted in a high level of noise in the measurements and made it impossible to quantify the phases by means of Rietveld refinement. Thus, for the analyzed niobium contents and limitations of the instrumental conditions used in this work to minimize these iron fluorescence effects in the samples (but usual operating conditions of copper tube equipment in routine operation), it is concluded that the Cu tube XRD technique is not effective for quantifying phase fractions nor for identifying NbC in gray cast iron.
