  1. Metallurgy of High Strength SteelN. Yurioka Visiting Professor at Osaka University

  2. Crystalline lattice structure BCC BCC BCC FCC HCP

  3. Crystalline lattice structure • Face centered cubic (FCC) Steel (at high temp.), Austenitic stainless steel, Al, Cu,... • Body centered cubic (BCC) Steel (at low temp.), Ferritic stainless steel, Ti (at high temp.) • Hexagonally closed packed (HCP) Ti (at low temp.)

  4. Fe-C Phase diagram Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon Iron C < 0.02% Steel 0.02 C  0.21% Cast iron : 0.21% < C

  7. Phase transformation in cooling - II

  8. Line expansion (Dilatation)

  9. Dilatometry-I

  10. Dilatometry-II Transformation In heating Ac1: a to g start Ac3: a to g finish In cooling Ar3: g to a start Ar1: g to a finish In rapid cooling (quenching) Ms: M start Mf: M finish

  11. Diffusion of carbon plays an important role inphase transformation

  12. Microstructure of steels -I Martensite Lower bainite

  21. Features of steels • As rolled steel Ferrite –pearlite Low strength, Low YR • Normalized steel Grain-refined ferrite-pearlite • Higher strength and toughness • TMCP-II (controlled rolling and accelerated cooling) steel • Grain-refined ferrite + low temperature transformation product • High strength and toughness, low CE (better weldability) • Quenched and tempered steel • Tempered martensite, highest strength, high YR, high CE • (preheating) • Cautions for TMCP and QT steels: • Heat input limitation ( 4.5kJ/mm), No hot forming

  22. Mild steels (JIS standard) • General structure SS series (SS400, SS490, etc…) • Welded structure SM series • Building construction SN series ( Tensile strength )

  23. Steels for • Welded structures SM series

  24. YR (Yield Ratio)

  25. Steels for • Building construction SN series • High ratio decreases • the compliance of • structures such as • building .
