Outline of Final Research Achievements

Structural metallic materials are usually used for key components with the highest requirements for reliability and safety. However, toughness decreases with increasing strength. In the present study, first, 800 MPa and 1800 MPa class steels with an ultrafine elongated grain structure were fabricated by plastic deformation process. After that, a three-point bonding test was conducted in a temperature range from 200℃ to -196℃, and stress near the initial notch were quantitatively analyzed through numerical simulation. The relationship between microstructure (grain shape, grain size, texture, existence of second particle) and fracture mechanism (micro-crack initiation and propagation) was studied in details. As a result, the strength-toughness balance of the developed steel was remarkably improved compared with conventionally structural materials. For stronger and tougher steel, it is important to not only refine crystal grains, but also control their shape and orientation.
