Estudo comparativo da conformabilidade mecânica dos aços MAR 350 e MAR 300

Abstract

The maraging steels are ultra - high strength materials that has great technological importance due its application in military and nuclear sectors . Because its applications, it is necessary to understand how the plastic properties of these materials behave, because the literature lacks information on the mechanical behavior of steel the Mar350 and alloy redeveloped Mar300 . This study investigated how different levels of cold deformation influence the properties of plastic anisotropy of both materials . Cold deformation were carried out on levels of 50, 70 and 80% by rolling and after was made annealing were the materials carried out at 900 ° C for 1h varying the rate of cooling, the samples were cooled in water , air and the furnace until the room temperature. The results of metallographic analysis showed that the materials do not undergo morphological changes in the grains by varying the cooling rate, but some coarsening undergo a deformation in 50 and 70%. The samples of cold rolled steel Mar350 80% showed an ultra- grain refinement and precipitation of an intermetallic phase while the samples of steel Mar350* showed grain refining compared to the other conditions for the same steel, but without undergoes a significant hardening. The texture measurements showed the evolution of the cold deformation there is a tendency to cleanup texture appears more intense γ fiber . The measurements show that some microtexture for most conditions studied the presence of other components less intense outside the fiber γ , these components that could be the reason for the displacement of ΔR zero.
