Effect of Tin, Copper and Boron on the Hot Ductility of 20CrMnTi Steel between 650 °C and 1100 °C

The hot ductility of 20CrMnTi steel with x% tin, y% copper and z ppm boron (x = 0, 0.02; y = 0, 0.2; z = 0, 60) was investigated. The results show that tin and copper in 20CrMnTi steel are detrimental to its hot ductility while adding boron can eliminate the adverse effect and enhance hot ductility...

description The hot ductility of 20CrMnTi steel with x% tin, y% copper and z ppm boron (x = 0, 0.02; y = 0, 0.2; z = 0, 60) was investigated. The results show that tin and copper in 20CrMnTi steel are detrimental to its hot ductility while adding boron can eliminate the adverse effect and enhance hot ductility greatly. Tin is found to segregate to the boundaries tested by EPMA in 20CrMnTi steel containing tin and copper and tin-segregation is suppressed by adding boron, moreover, copper was found not to segregate to boundaries, however, fine copper sulfide was found from carbon extraction replicas using TEM. The adverse effect of tin and copper on the hot ductility was due mainly to tin segregation and fine copper sulfide in the steel. The proeutectoid ferrite film precipitating along the austenite grain boundary causes the ductility trough of the three examined steels. Tin and copper in 20CrMnTi steel can retard the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) while boron-addition can compensate for that change. The beneficial effect of boron on 20CrMnTi steel containing tin and copper might be ascribed to the fact that boron segregates to grain boundaries, accelerates onset of DRX, retards austenite/ferrite transformation and promotes intragranular nucleation of ferrite.
