Heat treatment effect on structure and properties of 16GNMA steel

Description

The effect of heating for hot deformation test and of subsequent tempering on the structure, strength and ductility properties of the 16 GNMA sttel used for fabricating pressure vessels has been investigated. It has been found that in the 850-1200 deg C temperature range abrupt umps in the grain growth at 1050 and 1200 deg C occur. In case of tempering in the 500-630 deg C range the yield strength increases while the ultimate resistance to fracture decreases. At 700 deg C the ductility and toughness drop while the fracture becomes totally crystalline. The 16 GNMA steel structure following normalizing and tempering presents a mixture of ferrite and granular bainite. Steel aging at the operation temperature (450 deg C) leads to its strengthening without embrittlement
