Book Description
A710 is an high strength low alloy steel whose strength is a result of both a fine grained microstructure and a dispersion of copper precipitates. For these reasons, the tensile and impact properties of an A710 plate depend as much on the thermo-mechanical history of each plate as on the chemistry of each heat. Since plates shipped from steel suppliers are frequently heat treated under different conditions, it is difficult to attribute property differences to chemistry variations rather than to heat treatment variations or vice versa. Heat to heat property differences must be determined for a specific, known heat treatment. This report describes the variability in the mechanical properties of four plates (representing four heats of steel) that have received known, and carefully controlled, heat treatments at the National Bureau of Standards. The sensitivity of these properties to heat treatment variations within each heat of steel is also reported here. Optical and electron metallographic techniques were used to determine as-received and heat treated microstructures. Scanning electron fractography was used to ascertain the fracture mechanism in the tensile and impact tests. This report also contains two appendices in which splitting fracture and microchemistry observations in A710 are discussed. Keywords: Grain size; Age hardening; Ultra fine niobium carbon nitride; Tables(data); Charts; Photographs; Microchemistry. (Author).

Effects of Variations in Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of ASTM A710 Grade A Class 3 Steel

Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
A final report assessing the effects of variations in heat treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure of ASTM A710 grade A class 3 steel is given. The goal of this project was to evaluate the sensitivity of the mechanical properties of A710, an age hardening steel, to heat treatment variations that may occur in the production of thick plate. Tensile and impact tests were conducted on the material heat treated under the various conditions. Microstructure evaluations using optical and electron metallographic methods were conducted. Small angle neutron scattering examinations were also performed on selected specimens in order to evaluate the precipitate distribution. Results indicate that austenitization and aging time has little effect on the resultant mechanical properties. However, the mechanical properties were found to be sensitive to aging temperature. Impact results at 0 F indicate that aging at 900 F is detrimental in that the fracture surfaces of the broken impacts exhibited cleavage. Furthermore, the results suggest that welding or similar heating operations will not seriously degrade this material's properties.
