RESUMO

The phase transformation kinetics of five Nb microalloyed Si-Mn TRIP steels was studied under continuous cooling and isothermal treatments, using dilatometric techniques, morphologic characterization, Thermocalc computational thermodynamics and Dictra numerical simulation. WDS and EDS X-ray microanalysis and Dictra numerical modeling of C, Mn and Si distribution during transformation showed that the reaction is carbon diffusion controlled and growth occurs under local equilibrium with negligible partition. CCT diagrams for austenite transformation were determined and the effect of the amount of proeutectoid ferrite and bainite precipitation on the volume fraction of retained austenite was also estimated. The CCT diagrams allowed determining the boundaries of the critical zone and the processing window to obtain bainite plus austenite microstructures. Based on this information cooling cycles were selected to perform thermomechanical treatments. Three TRIP steels were selected to simulate, in a hot torsion testing machine, two different controlled rolling sequences: Recrystallization Controlled Rolling and Conventional Controlled Rolling. The influence of the degree of deformation and the finishing temperature on the amount of retained austenite was studied. After rolling the cooling cycle comprised two isothermal treatments, one in the austenite + ferrite field and the other in the bainitic field. Increasing the strain during simulation of Recrystallization Controlled Rolling led to an increase in the volume fraction of retained austenite to the range 9 to 14 %. The energy stored during simulation bellow TNR of the Conventional Controlled Rolling led to a decrease in the volume fraction and in the carbon content of retained austenite. The Mn and C contents measured by EDS and WDS analysis of TRIP-E steel, showed that grain refinement due to recrystallization contributes to diffusion of these elements in front of the ferrite/austenite interface during precipitation.
