Werkstoffe
(2014)
Für die Realisierung des in der Produktentwicklung entstandenen Produkts in der Fertigung steht heutzutage eine Vielzahl moderner Werkstoffe zur Verfügung. Ein Werkstoff ist ein Stoff, der mit der Absicht einer technischen Verwendung hergestellt wird. Werkstoffe sind feste Stoffe und grenzen sich von flüssigen Stoffen wie beispielsweise Treibstoffen und Schmierstoffen ab. Eine Einteilung der Werkstoffe in verschiedene Gruppen kann auf verschiedene Arten erfolgen, beispielsweise nach dem Einsatzgebiet, der Art der chemischen Bindung oder dem inneren Aufbau.
Das innovative Wärmebehandlungskonzept des „Quenching and Partitioning“ (Q&P) ermöglicht die Herstellung hochfester, martensitischer Stähle mit hoher Verformbarkeit und Duktilität. Dabei wird Restaustenit im Prozessabschnitt des Partitionierens durch Kohlenstoffdiffusion stabilisiert. Dies ermöglicht die dehnungsinduzierte Phasenumwandlung von Austenit in Martensit und erhöht die Verformbarkeit, ohne dabei die Festigkeit zu reduzieren. Bisher wenig erforscht ist die Anwendung des Q&P-Prozesses bei korrosionsbeständigen Stählen. Die vorliegende Arbeit ergänzt erste Untersuchungen von YUANG und RAABE um wichtige werkstofftechnische Kennwerte sowie um die erreichbare Korrosionsbeständigkeit. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass im Vergleich zur standardmäßig angewandten Wärmebehandlung die mechanischen und korrosiven Eigenschaften enorm durch den Q&P-Prozess gesteigert werden.
Sensibilisierungsverhalten vom stickstofflegierten, austenitischen, nichtrostenden Stahl 1.4456
(2017)
Austenitische nichtrostende Stähle kommen seit vielen Jahren in den verschiedensten industriellen Zweigen zum Einsatz (Pharma-, Medizin- und Lebensmittelindustrie, Bauwesen, Energie- und Antriebstechnik). Druckaufgestickte nichtrostende Austenite mit ca. 19 Gew.-% Mangan und 0,8 Gew.-% Stickstoff, sind als nickelfreie Variante seit einigen Jahren großtechnisch auf dem Markt verfügbar. In diesen Stählen wird die austenitische Matrix ohne die Legierungszugabe von Nickel sichergestellt, während gleichzeitig die korrosive Beständigkeit und die mechanischen Eigenschaften verbessert werden. Wie bei allen nichtrostenden Stählen beeinflussen die chemische Zusammensetzung und die Wärmebehandlung entscheidend das Gefüge und die Eigenschaften. Durch Lösungsglühen, Abschrecken und gezieltes Kaltverfestigen können bei diesen Stählen hervorragende mechanische Kennwerte erreicht werden (Rm von 900 MPa bis 2.000 MPa, A5 > 50 %, Av > 350 J). In der Regel dient das Lösungsglühen der Beseitigung unerwünschter Ausscheidungsphasen (Cr2N, M23C6 und Sigma-Phase) und der homogenen Verteilung der Legierungselemente im Austenit, was auch die Voraussetzung für eine hohe Korrosionsbeständigkeit darstellt. Wird die homogene Verteilung der Legierungselemente (Cr, Mo und N) durch suboptimale Wärmebehandlungs-, Verarbeitungs- oder Einsatzbedingungen beeinträchtigt, kann die korrosive Beständigkeit nicht auf Dauer gewährleistet werden. Daher ist die genaue Kenntnis vom Sensibilisierungsverhalten dieser hochstickstofflegierten Stähle unerlässlich.
Am stickstofflegierten Werkstoff 1.4456 (X8CrMnMoN18-18-2) wird das Sensibilisierungsverhalten am lösungsgeglühten Zustand durch die gezielte Variation der Warmauslagerungsparameter untersucht. Dabei wird im Temperaturbereich von 500 °C bis 900 °C die Glühdauer systematisch variiert, um zu ermitteln, wann Ausscheidungen im Gefüge auftreten und ob diese die Korrosionsbeständigkeit beeinträchtigen. Die verschiedenen Sensibilisierungszustände werden mit dem EPR Verfahren, der KorroPad-Prüfung und dem REM vergleichend untersucht. Zur besseren Interpretation der experimentellen Ergebnisse werden auch thermodynamische Berechnungen genutzt, welche die Existenzbereiche der verschiedenen Ausscheidungsphasen vorhersagen. Damit kann die Veränderung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit mit dem Auftreten der verschiedenen Phasen korreliert und die Anwendbarkeit der experimentellen Methoden für stickstofflegierte Stähle nachgewiesen werden.
The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment enables a higher deformability of high strength martensitic steels. The Q&P heat treatment was applied on the martensitic stainless steel 1.4034 (X46Cr13) to study the influence of partitioning time. Therefore, extensive characterizations of the mechanical properties, focussing on the materials behaviour under different mechanical load scenarios, were performed. A comprehensive analysis of the microstructural evolution was per-formed for different heat treatment and mechanical loading states. A complete solution of chromium carbides was detected to be a first requirement for successful Q&P heat treatment. The comparison of common quenching and tempering with the Q&P heat treatment verifies the extensively enhanced materials strength whereat the formability is still acceptable. The microstructural reason was detected to be an increasing aus-tenite fraction due to austenite reversion at subgrain boundaries of martensite besides the stabilising of retained austenite. Further a distinctive strength differential effect was observed.
Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat Treatment increases the deformability of high-strength martensitic steels. Therefore, it is necessary to have some metastable austenite in the microstructure, which transforms in martensite during plastic deformation (TRIP effect). The austenitic-martensitic microstructure is gained by an increased austenitization temperature, water quenching and additional partitioning. The partitioning enables local carbon diffusion, which stabilizes retained austenite and leads to partial reversion of martensite to austenite. The influence of partitioning time was studied for the martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 (X46Cr13, 1.4034). In line with these efforts, metallographic, XRD and EBSD measurements were performed to characterize the microstructural evolution. The mechanical properties were tested using tension and compression loading. Additional corrosion investigations showed the benefits of Q&P heat treatment compared to conventional tempering. The reversion of austenite by the partitioning treatment was verified with EBSD and XRD. Furthermore, the results of the mechanical and corrosion testing showed improved properties due to the Q&P heat treatment.
The novel heat treatment concept, “quenching and partitioning” (Q&P) has been developed for high strength steels with enhanced formability. This heat treatment involves quenching of austenite to a temperature between martensite start and finish, to receive a several amount of retained austenite. During the subsequent annealing treatment, the so called partitioning, the retained austenite is stabilized due to carbon diffusion, which results in enhanced formability and strength regarding strain induced austenite to martensite transformation. In this study a Q&P heat treatment was applied to a Fe-0.45C-0.65Mn-0.34Si-13.95Cr stainless martensite. Thereby the initial quench end temperature and the partitioning time were varied to characterize their influence on microstructural evolution. The microstructural changes were analysed by dilatometer measurements, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, including electron back-scatter diffraction. Compression testing was made to examine the mechanical behaviour. It was found that an increasing partitioning time up to 30 min leads to an enhanced formability without loss in strength due to a higher amount of stabilized retained and reversed austenite as well as precipitation hardening.

Nickel-free, nitrogen alloyed austenitic stainless-steels, with about 19 wt.-% Mn and 0,8 wt. % N, are an interesting alternative to classic CrNi austenitic stainless steels due to their superior mechanical properties (Rm > 900 MPa, A5 > 50 %, Av > 350 J) in the solution annealed condition. The formation of chromium-rich nitrides during suboptimal heat treatment, processing or application leads to an inhomogeneous distribution of alloying elements in the microstructure, which reduces the corrosion resistance. Consequently, an accurate knowledge of the sensitization behavior is indispensable for the use of nickel-free, high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels. The relationship between artificial aging, phase formation and corrosion resistance was investigated on the alloys X8CrMnN18-19 (1.3815) and X8CrMnMoN18-19-2 (1.4456), both alloyed with 0,8 wt.-% Nitrogen, in the present work. The microstructural evolution was studied by LM and SEM while the corrosion resistance was characterized with the electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (EPR) and the KorroPad indicator-test. Both alloys showed increased corrosion susceptibility within critical aging parameters. Finally, a sensitization diagram was described successfully for both alloys showing the positive effect of molybdenum.
The duplex stainless steel 1.4062 (X2CrNiN22-2) is used as alternative material to austenitic stainless steels in the construction industry. The corrosion resistance of welded seams is influenced by the base material, the weld filler material, the welding process and also by the final surface treatment. The scale layer next to the weld seam can be removed by grinding, pickling, electro-polished or blasting depending on the application and the requested corrosion resistance. Blasted surfaces are often used in industrial practice due to the easier and cheaper manufacturing process compared to pickled or electro-polished surfaces. Furthermore blasting with corundum-grain is more effective than blasting with glass-beads which also lower the process costs. In recent years, stainless steel surfaces showed an unusually high susceptibility to pitting corrosion after grinding with corundum. For this reason, it is now also questioned critically whether the corrosion resistance is influenced by the applied blasting agent. This question was specifically investigated by comparing grinded, pickled, corundum-grain- and glass-bead-blasted welding seams. Results of the SEM analyses of the blasting agents and the blasted surfaces will be presented and correlated with the different performed corrosion tests (potential measurement, KorroPad-test and pitting potential) on welding seams with different surface treatments.
