- Abstract
The precipitation behavior of Cu-bearing ultra-low carbon steel after step quenching and tempering at 923 K for 0.5–2.5 h was investigated. The size, quantity, and characteristic distribution of nano-precipitates were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy, and the microstructure of B2 (an ordered structure belonging to the body-centered cubic structure), 9R (a special triclinic lattice that has characteristics of rhombohedral structure), 3R (a special triclinic lattice like 9R), and FCT (face-centered tetragonal lattices) were accurately determined. The relationship between nano-precipitates and mechanical properties under different heat treatment processes was obtained, revealing that nano-precipitates effectively enhanced the yield strength of Cu-bearing ultra-low carbon steel. There were two forms of crystal structure evolution sequence of precipitation: B2→multi twin 9R→detwined 9R→FCT→FCC and B2→multi-twin 9R→detwinned 9R→3R→FCT→FCC. The morphology of the precipitated particles during the growth process changed from spherical to ellipsoidal and finally to rod-shaped. It was proven that a stable 3R structure existed due to the coexistence of 9R, 3R, and FCT structures in the same precipitate particle.
