【 摘 要 】

In this study, the evolution of high-strength HSLA steel microstructure was studied using high-temperature laser confocal microscopy and SEM, TEM, and EPMA techniques. The effect of precipitates on grain boundary migration of austenite during high-temperature heating and the effect of inclusions in undercooled austenite on AF phase transformation were studied. The effect of multiphase microstructure on impact toughness was studied by Gleeble thermal simulation at 550, 600, and 650 °C. The results show that the austenite grain is refined by TiN pinning at high temperatures, and a large number of NbC and VCN are precipitated in ferrite for precipitation strengthening. The (Ti-Mn-O) + (Al + Si + Mn-O) + MnS composite inclusions with smaller sizes have a greater promoting effect on the nucleation of acicular ferrite than single-phase MnS. With a decrease in isothermal temperature, the content of acicular ferrite increases. When the isothermal temperature is 550 °C, an increase in the maximum impact toughness of acicular ferrite with large-angle grain boundary is clearly observable.
