时效处理对Ni(Fe,Al)马氏体时效钢应力腐蚀开裂行为的影响

摘要: 本研究系统探究了时效析出对Ni(Fe,Al)马氏体时效钢应力腐蚀开裂(SCC)行为的影响机制,通过对比分析固溶态和峰时效态的组织与断口形貌,结合第一性原理计算,揭示了析出相与SCC的相互作用规律。结果表明,时效处理后Ni(Fe,Al)析出相均匀弥散分布,显著提高了马氏体基体强度,抑制了应力腐蚀纹沿马氏体板条的开裂倾向。然而,基体与一次NbC颗粒之间的伏特电位差从11.3增大到18.6 mV,加之NbC颗粒倾向于沿大角度晶界(HAGB)分布,导致HAGB处阳极溶解加速。这种力学性能提升与电化学腐蚀倾向加剧的双重效应共同调控了SCC行为,最终导致SCC敏感性增加并促进了沿晶裂纹的扩展。本研究阐明了时效析出通过力学–电化学协同作用影响SCC的本质,为开发兼具高强度和优良耐SCC性能的沉淀强化钢提供了重要理论依据,对工程应用具有重要指导意义。研究不仅深化了对析出相与应力腐蚀开裂关系的理解,也为通过微观组织设计优化材料性能指明了方向。

 

Effect of aging precipitation on the stress corrosion cracking behavior of Ni(Fe,Al)-maraging steel

Abstract: The effect of aging precipitation on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism of Ni(Fe,Al)-maraging steel was studied through the comparative characterization and analyses of the microstructures and fracture features of solid–solution and peak-aged steels. Aging precipitation exerts a chain of impacts on the deformative compatibility and electrochemical difference between the matrix and other phases or interfaces. The strength of the martensite matrix is enhanced by abundant and evenly dispersed Ni(Fe,Al) precipitates, thereby reducing the possibility of splitting across martensite laths. Meanwhile, the Volta potential difference (VPD) between the matrix and primary NbC particles increases from 11.3 to 18.60 mV. Given that most of the primary NbC particles tend to be distributed along high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), anodic dissolution along HAGBs accelerates. Therefore, mechanical and electrochemical factors triggered by aging precipitation are involved in the variation in SCC behavior and mechanism. The SCC susceptibility of the steel increases along with the increasing tendency for intergranular cracking.
