We have studied the effects of different solution temperatures and holding times on the microstructure and room-temperature mechanical properties of the alloy using methods such as electron ...backscatter diffraction, hardness testing and tensile testing. The results showed that the average grain size increased significantly as the solution temperature increased, and many annealing twins appeared in the grains. The fraction of twin boundaries reached its maximum value at 1080 °C. The hardness, yield strength and tensile strength of the alloy decreased with an increase in the solution temperature, but abnormal yielding occurred at 1160 °C. The elongation after fracture and the area reduction increased with an increase in the solution temperature. The fracture morphology of the alloy was irregular, conical, accompanied by a large number of ductile dimples, and the material exhibited typical ductile fracture. At the same time, as the solution temperature increased, the number of dimples on the fracture surface continued to increase, the depth of the dimples gradually increased, and the distribution became more uniform.
In this paper, the alternate immersion corrosion test of Cr-Mo-V series SDCM steel for hot stamping was carried out, and different stresses were loaded with self-made fixture. The results shown that ...regardless of hardness and stress, the corrosion mode of the material is uniform corrosion. Stress could significantly increase the corrosion rate, with lower hardness and higher corrosion rate. Because of the existence of Corrosion Removal Layer (CRL), the maximum corrosion pit depth would be reduced. The maximum corrosion pit depth and Corrosion Pit density (CPD, ρv) were used to describe the degree of corrosion damage. From low to high hardness, the CPD ρv and corrosion resistance increased gradually. With the increased of tempering temperature, the hardness decreased, and the percentage of carbide area in the field of view increased from 16.36% to 24.32%. The irregular spherical carbide M23(C, N)6 rich in Cr coarsens and consumes Cr element in the material, which lead to the decrease of corrosion resistance. Through the polarization curve of the dynamic potential, we known that the current density was increased with the hardness decreased, from 28.53 μA/mm2 to 40.93 μA/mm2.
