AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to achieve both ultra-high strength and high toughness in large-sized steel components, resulting in insufficient performance under extreme stress environments and failing to meet the manufacturing requirements of high-end equipment.

Method used

By preparing a martensitic aging steel with an ultrafine-grained multiphase structure, including an interwoven distribution of ultrafine-grained martensite and ultrafine-grained austenite phases, and through solution heat treatment, cryogenic treatment, repeated solution treatment and aging treatment, a multi-level multiphase structure with a specific ratio is formed, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the steel.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a high strength and high toughness match for large-section steel, with yield strength ≥2.1GPa, tensile strength ≥2.2GPa, elongation after fracture ≥7%, reduction of area ≥50%, and V-notch impact energy ≥15J-25J, significantly improving the impact toughness of large-section steel.

Abstract

The application relates to a martensite aging steel and a preparation method thereof, relates to the technical field of material preparation, and mainly aims to solve the technical problem of insufficient strength and toughness of the existing large-size martensite aging steel. The main technical scheme is that the microstructure of the martensite aging steel has a super-fine crystal complex phase structure; the super-fine crystal complex phase structure comprises a super-fine crystal martensite phase and a super-fine crystal austenite phase; in the super-fine crystal complex phase structure, the super-fine crystal martensite phase and the super-fine crystal austenite phase are interwovenly distributed; the average grain size of the super-fine crystal austenite phase is 0.3-1.0 mu m; and the effective grain size of the super-fine crystal martensite phase is 0.4-1.2 mu m. The application mainly aims to improve the strength and toughness of the large-size martensite aging steel.
