Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、侵入型溶質元素(i)と置換型溶質元素(s)からなるi-sクラスタの特異な強化能の起源を解明しクラスタ強化鋼創製の基盤を確立するため,(1)強化量のi-sクラスタ量およびサイズ依存性を明らかにし,(2)i-sクラスタの強化機構を解明することを目的とする.鉄合金ではクラスタ強化は有効な強化手段にはなりにくいという考えを覆し,i-sクラスタの強化機構を明らかにすることで,これまで置換型溶質クラスタに対して構築されてきた強化理論を大きく発展させるとともに,微量かつユビキタスなNにより発現することから省資源材料としても大きな波及効果が期待されるi-sクラスタ強化の指導原理を確立する.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the strengthening mechanism by solute clusters consisting of interstitial and substitutional elements in steel. Tensile properties and microstructures of nitrided and hydrogen annealed Fe-Ti alloys were investigated. The results showed that monoatomic layered clusters were dominant in the specimen nitrided at below 650°C and they becomes larger in size and higher in number density at higher temperatures. On the other hand, when the nitriding temperature increases to 700°C, multi-atomic layer-thickness TiN is formed and the number density decreases. The amount of strengthening follows the interparticle spacing on the slip plane evaluated from the cluster-TiN distribution. The particle resistance force was much lower than predicted by the Orowan model, suggesting that the Ti-N clusters contribute to strengthening by a cutting mechanism.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

鉄鋼をはじめとする構造材料を高強度化することにより、自動車などの輸送機器に使われる材料を減らすことができるため、軽量化による燃費向上が実現できる。鉄鋼材料中にナノサイズの添加元素の濃化領域(クラスター)が形成されると、強度が著しく向上するがその機構は不明であった。本研究では、先端組織解析技術を駆使してクラスターが強度に及ぼす影響を調査し、変形を担う転位が高密度に生成するクラスターを切断しながら運動することで、転位運動が阻害されることが高強度化機構であることを明らかにしたものである。
