• In Japan, the amount of steel scraps reached 1billion ton (2000), on the other hand, Japan’s steel production : 100million ton/year. (Japan has “natural resource” of steel for 10 years)

• The recycling of steel scraps is retarded because the scraps are contaminated by Cu which is difficult to be eliminated.

• Accumulation of the scraps becomes national problem in Japan.

The addition rule is not suited to the case of the martensitic Cu steel

The influence of the solid solution strengthening by Cu clearly decreases

Precipitation strengthening of Cu nanoparticles

What is strengthening mechanism of Cu nanoparticles??

Mechanism of precipitation strengthening

When a moving dislocation is pinned by dispersed precipitates as shown in Figure, shear stress ( ) required for bowing the dislocation with angle is expressed by the Eq. (1).

= (Gb/ )sin .................. (1)

Tensile stress () is given by multiplying Taylor factor to the shear stress and expressed using another constant (b) as follows:

Carbon steels with carbide: =2.8, because = /2.

=(Gb )sin ............................(2)

Mean particle spacing; was calculated with the Eq. (3).

=1.25(dp3/6fdp)1/2 - ( dp

2/4dp)...........................(3)

Where dp is diameter of the precipitates. The f is volume fraction of the precipitates

Mechanism of precipitation strengthening

Bowing degree of Cu nanoparticles is smaller than/2

Not the Orowan mechanism, so?

Mechanism of precipitation strengthening1. Strong obstacles

2. Weak obstacles (Cu nanoparticles)

Conversely, dislocation cuts off the particles for passing trough. Thus, </2.

Recent development, Sumitomo corp has patented YP480 MPa plate steel for offshore use (fulfilled API standard) by Cu addition.

One of the largest steel companies in Japan has been developing YP550MPa.

Why?1. Cu can substitute C, thus weldability will be improved2. C u increases the strength without deteriorating ductility

Utilization of Cu in a cryogenic steel

The improvement of strength–ductility balance in Cu bearing 9%Ni steels are derived from 1. Strengthening of martensitic matrix by precipitation strengthening by Cu particles 2. an increase in uniform elongation due to the rise of work-hardening rate caused by TRIP assisted effect of reversed .

Addition Cu in Ultra-fine grained steel

Cu nanoparticles within UFF grain Effect of Cu is not significant

Why? It is thought that1. Hardness of UFG steel is too high, 2. Addition rule of the strengthening mechanism cannot be applied

SummarySummaryIt is shown that addition of Cu can improve the mechanical properties of ferrous materials for structural use.

Both of solid solution and precipitation states, Cu can increase the hardness of the steels. Moreover, the strength-ductility balance is also improved in the low alloy and cryogenic steel.

On the other hand, the effect of Cu nanoparticles is inferior in the ultra-fine grained steel.

Recommendation Recommendation
