摘 要：The microstructures and mechanical properties of C-Mn-Cr-Nb and C-Mn-Si-Nb ultra-high strength dual-phase steels were studied by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,and tensile test.The results show that Si can promote the transformation of austenite（γ） to ferrite（α）,enlarge the（α+γ） region,and increase the aging stability of martensite by inhibiting carbide precipitation.Adding Cr leads to the formation of retained austenite and martensiteaustenite（MA） constituents,as well as the decomposition of martensite during the overaging stage.Both of the steels show higher initial strain-hardening rates and two-stage strain-hardening characteristics.The C-Mn-Si-Nb steel shows the higher strain-hardening rate than the C-Mn-Cr-Nb steel in the first stage;however,there is no significant difference in the second stage.Although the tensile strength and elongation of the two steels both exceed 1000 MPa and 15%,respectively,the comprehensive mechanical properties of the C-Mn-Si-Nb steel are superior.
