Utjecaj uvjeta zagrijavanja i hlađenja na strukturu i mehanička svojstva C-Mn-Si čelika

The paper deals with structure and properties development of AHSS (advance high-strength steel) and UHSS (ultra high-strength steel) steel grades for various groups of automotive parts. C-Mn-Si type steel properties are evaluated based on the results of laboratory controlled rolling and cooling. The important influence on mechanical and plastic properties, amount of residual austenite (RA) and final structural type has, except for cooling rate, also starting temperature of intensive cooling (TIC) which follows after hot plastic deformations. If TIC is from interval of 620-760°C the final structure predominantly consists of ferrite with RA. Mostly acicular ferrite with RA, as well as bainite with RA was obtained when TIC was kept in the range of 760-850°C.Utjecaj uvjeta zagrijavanja i hlađenja na strukturu i mehanička svojstva C-Mn-Si čelika. Članak daje razvitak strukture i svojstava NVČČ (napredno visoko čvrstih čelika) i UVČČ (ultra visoko čvrsti čelici) za raznolike skupine dijelova automobila. Svojstva čelika C-Mn-Si su utvrđena na temelju laboratorijskog kontroliranog valjanja i hlađenja. Najveći utjecaj na mehanička i plastična svojstva uz zaostali austenit (ZA) i završni tip strukture, ima osim brzine hlađenja i početna temperatura intenzivnog hlađenja (Tpo) koja je nastavak vruće plastične deformacije. Ako je Tpo u intervalu 620-760°C, završna struktura se sastoji od ferita sa ZA. Pretežito acikularni ferit sa ZA, također bainit sa ZA je uočen kad je Tpo bila u intervalu 760-850°C

The Mechanical and Brittle Properties of Gas Pipeline in Service

The paper deals with the determination of mechanical and brittle properties of gas pipeline after more than 40 years in operation. The heat affected zone in weld of pipeline is the risk area in terms of embrittlement structure, which resulted in an increase of yield strength and shift of transit temperature to more positive values. The specimens were cut from heat affected zone for this reason. The tensile test according to ISO 6892-1 showed the increase in yield strength: it had a value of 295 MPa at the beginning operation and 400 MPa after more than 40 years in pipeline operation was recorded. The transition temperature at the value of 20°C was determined by using the Charpy impact test according to EN 10045-1. The operators of gas pipelines report that the mean temperature on the outer surface of pipe is about 4°C during the winter. The risk of brittle fragile is very likely if the transition temperature is higher than operating temperature
