Abstract:Tempering hardness method for two different V, N content of anti-seismic reinforcing steel bars were studied on microstructure of tempering isothermal process and variation regulars of microhardness. V (C, N) precipitation theoretical thermo-kinetic in ferrite was quantitatively determined according to the J-M-A(Johnson-Mehl-Avrami)theory, and compared with the experimental PTT curve. V (C, N) precipitation rule was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The results show that due to the effects of abundant and dispersed second phase particles, the tempering microstructure of V-N microalloyed rebar (0.04V-0.0135N) is more uniform and fine than V microalloyed rebar (0.076V-0.0055N). The PTT curve which is attained from variety microhardness of two materials are consistent with the calculation result. V microalloyed rebar presents a "C" shape and its precipitation kinetics is accelerated in the nosal temperature zone about 670℃, V-N microalloyed rebar is monotonous curve, which is mainly affected by N content. Also in this experiment fibrous carbides, interphase precipitation of V(C,N) in supersaturated ferrite, and precipitations on dislocation after phase transformation are observed, their formation mechanism is discussed.
