Microstructure evolution mechanism near the fracture lip of 4Cr5MoSiV1 steel during deforming at 580 °C

Yaoli Wang, Kexing Song, Yanmin Zhang

Abstract

The failure mechanisms under thermal-mechanical conditions have always been a critical issue in hot work steels. However, previous studies mainly focused on the mechanical properties of hot work materials, while the underlying deformation mechanism remains largely unclear. Here, we investigate the crack morphology and microstructure evolution mechanism near the fracture surfaces of 4Cr5MoSiV1 hot work die steels subjected to the uniaxial tension at 580 °C. An evident deformation band was observed consisting of refined α-Fe grains with a width of about 100nm along both sides of the intergranular fracture surface. Additionally, characteristic slip band rings formed frequently, presumably due to the grain rotation near the crack. Finally, carbides (including MC, M7C3 and M23C6) were also considered as possible crack nucleation sources due to the existence of incoherent boundary between these carbides and the ferrite matrix.
