Microstructure Characterization of Laser-Welded Nb-Microalloyed Silicon-Aluminum TRIP Steel

Abstract: This work presents the results of a microstructural characterization of welds in Nb-microalloyed TRIP steel with silicon partially replaced by aluminum. Tests of laser welding of thermomechanically processed sheet samples were carried out using keyhole welding and a solid-state laser. Welding penetration tests were conducted for heat input values between 0.037 and 0.048 kJ/mm. Identification of different microstructural constituents was carried out using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy in the… Show more

“…The excellent mechanical properties of TRIP steel mainly contribute to the ferrite matrix, for ductility, bainite, for strength, and retained austenite, for uniform elongation produced by martensite transformation from austenite when subjected to external tensile stress. For the sake of the superior properties of TRIP steel, thinner steel sheets can be adopted for the same strength requirement to reduce the vehicle weight but improve the vehicle performance at the same time [2][3][4][5].…”

“…[10][11][12][13] Titanium alloys are also used for manufacturing parts for turbochargers, air and hydraulic pumps, turbines and impellers, etc. [14][15][16] In each of the above cases, the working surfaces are exposed to wear, mainly by erosion or cavitation erosion. 1,17 For example, the engines of planes, helicopters, and other aircraft, as well as rocket engines are often subjected to severe erosion from sand and dust particles, drops of rain, or other solid and hard particles in flight and also during manoeuvres at the airport or landing pad.…”

“…However, on the other hand, carbides and carbonitride precipitates of Nb, V, and Ti effectively impede grain growth and significantly restrict the width of the coarse-grained area of the HAZ. [6][7][8] The HAZ ductility is significantly improved by Ti 2 O 3 particles, which are more stable than TiN particles and insoluble even at higher temperatures and act as nucleii by the nucleation of fine-lamellar ferrite. [9][10][11] Fine-lamellar ferrite within austenite grains increases the HAZ ductility.…”
