采用Thermo-Calc热力学计算软件,对铌钒微合金化风电法兰用Q345E钢在400~1600℃存在的平衡析出相以及铌、钒在奥氏体相中的固溶规律进行了计算,并探讨了碳、氮、铌、钒元素含量变化对析出相的影响.结果表明:风电法兰用Q345E钢在400~1600℃存在的主要平衡析出相为MnS、AlN、MX#1(富含铌)、MX#2(富含钒)和M7C3相;MX#1相的主要组成元素为铌、碳、氮和少量的钒、铬,MX#2相的主要组成元素为钒、碳、铌、氮和少量的铬;MX#1相析出量和析出温度主要受钢中铌含量的影响,而受碳、氮、钒含量的影响不大.TEM分析表明,风电法兰用Q345E钢轧后析出相尺寸变化范围为几纳米到100纳米,大颗粒析出相为近似于立方形的富铌MX#1相,小颗粒析出相是球形或椭圆形的富钒MX#2相,这同热力学计算所得的MX#1相和MX#2相成分与析出温度基本吻合.
Equilibrium precipitation phases of Nb-V micro-alloying Q345E steel for wind-electron flange in the temperature range of 400 1600 ℃ and Nb-V dissolved in austenite were calculated by thermodynamic software Ther mo-Calc. Effects of C-N-Nb-V alloying elements on these equilibrium precipitation phases were also discussed. Re- sults showed that main equilibrium precipitation phases in Q345E steel for wind-electron flange at the temperature of 400--1600 ℃ were MnS, A1N, MX # 1 (Nb-rich), MX # 2 (V rich) and M7C3. Main composition elements of the MX 1 phase were Nb-C-N and a few V-Cr. V-C-Nb-N and a few Cr were composed of main composition elements for MX# 2 phase. Precipitation amount and temperature of MXg 1 phase were mainly effected by the content of Nb and had little effect of the C-N-V content. TEM analysis showed that the size of precipitation phases in the rolled wind-e- lectron flange Q345E steel was in the range of several nanometers to more than 100 nm. Large precipitation particles were Nb-rich MX# 1 phase with the cubic shape, small precipitation particles were V-rich MX# 2 phase with spheri- cal or elliptical, these were basically tallied with the thermodynamic calculation results about phase composition and precipitation temperature of MX# 1 and MX # 2.
