Achieving high strength-ductility synergy and wear resistance in a kappa-carbide reinforced high specific Young's modulus steel by vanadium microalloying
Source abstract
Abstract
Vanadium microalloying tactic was adopted in a κ -carbide reinforced high specific Young’s modulus (HSYM) steel. A good strength-ductility synergy has been achieved in the vanadium-added HSYM steel jointly by κ -carbide particle morphology adjusting, grain refining and precipitation of vanadium carbonitrides. The tensile ductility is increased by approximately 75% after vanadium microalloying. Moreover, the enhanced strength and ductility offer a greater resistance to abrasive particle impacts, spalling and cracks, which leads to a higher wear resistance of the vanadium added HSYM steel compared with the commercial DP780, showing a great potential application in chassis component.
