摘要

The continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curves of undercooled austenite serve as crucial references for obtaining desired microstructures and properties in metallic materials (particularly deformed metals) through heat treatment. In this study, static and dynamic CCT curves were constructed for experimental steels micro-doped with rare earth element Ce by combining temperature-dilatometric curves recorded after austenitization at 900 °C with microstructural characterization and microhardness measurements. Comparative analyses were conducted on the microstructures and microhardness of three experimental steels with varying Ce contents subjected to sizing (reducing) diameter deformation at 850 °C and 950 °C. The CCT experimental results revealed that the microhardness of the tested steels increased with cooling rates. Notably, dynamic CCT specimens cooled at 50 °C/s to room temperature following superheated deformation exhibited 56.7 HV5 higher microhardness than static CCT specimens, accompanied by increased martensite content. The reduction of deformation temperature from 950 °C to 850 °C resulted in the expansion of the bainitic phase region. The incorporation of trace Ce elements demonstrated a significant enhancement in the microhardness of 30MnNbRE steel. This research proposes an effective processing route for improving strength-toughness combination in microalloyed oil well tubes: introducing trace Ce additions followed by sizing (reducing) diameter deformation at 950 °C and subsequent ultra-fast cooling at 50 °C/s to room temperature. This methodology facilitates the production of high-strength/toughness steels containing abundant martensitic microstructures.
