【 摘 要 】

In this study, we address the challenge of obtaining high strength at ambient and elevated temperatures in fire-resistant Ti–Mo–V steel with ferrite microstructures through thermo-mechanical controlled processing (TMCP). Thermally stable interphase precipitation of (Ti, Mo, V)C was an important criterion for retaining strength at elevated temperatures. Electron microscopy indicated that interphase precipitation occurred during continuous cooling after controlled rolling, where the volume fraction of interphase precipitation was controlled by the laminar cooling temperature. The interphase precipitation of MC carbides with an NaCl-type crystal structure indicated a Baker–Nutting (B–N) orientation relationship with ferrite. When the steel was isothermally held at 600 °C for up to 3 h, interphase precipitation occurred during TMCP with high thermal stability. At the same time, some random precipitation took place during isothermal holding. The interphase precipitation increased the elastic modulus of the experimental steels at an elevated temperature. It is proposed that fire-resistant steel with thermally stable interphase precipitation is preferred, which enhances precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening at elevated temperatures.
