The Effect On Microstructure Mechanical Properties Of Vanadıim In Nb-V Microalloyed Steel Produced By Powder Metallurgy

Abstract

In this study, the addition of vanadium element (0-0,025-0,05-0,1-0,3-0,5-1-3% by weight) at different ratios as well as the addition of graphite and niobium in the fixed matrix into the Fe matrix by powder metallurgy method the steel material in the composition is obtained as a powder mixture. The obtained powders were compacted at 700 MPa pressing pressure in the form of drawn specimen and steel production was performed by sintering at 1400 ° C in argon atmosphere in an atmosphere controlled tube furnace. The mechanical properties of Nb-V microalloyed steel specimens with different V ratios were analyzed by tensile and microhardness test. Microstructure of powder metal steels is characterized by optical microscope. The results show that the TM steel
samples added with 1% V by weight have the highest yield and tensile strength. With increasing the V content from 1% to 3%, a decrease in yield and tensile strength was observed.

Toz Metalurjisi İle Üretilen Nb-V Mikroalaşim Çeliğine Vanadyum İlavesinin Mikroyapi Mekaniksel Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada toz metalurjisi yöntemiyle Fe matris içerisine sabit oranda grafit ve niyobium ilavesinin yanı sıra farklı oranlarda vanadyum elementinin (% Ağırlık olarak 0-0,025-0,05-0,1-0,3-0,5-1-3) katılmasıyla istenilen bileşimde çelik malzeme toz karışım olarak elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen tozlar çekme numunesi şeklinde tasarlanan kalıpta 700 MPa presleme basıncında sıkıştırılarak atmosfer kontrollü tüp fırında argon atmosferinde 1400ͦC’de sinterlenerek çelik üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Farklı V oranlarına sahip Nb-V mikroalaşımlı çelik numunelerin mekanik özellikleri çekme ve mikrosertlik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Toz metal çeliklerin mikroyapısı optik mikroskop ile karakterize edilmiştir. Sonuçlar % ağırlık olarak % 1 V ilave edilmiş TM çelik numunelerin en yüksek akma ve çekme dayanımına sahip olduğu göstermektedir.  V miktarı %1’dan %3’e çıkması ile akma ve çekme dayanımında azalma gözlenmiştir.
