Abstract
Solid solution and coupling precipitation behavior of multiple microelements in 50CrVA spring steel under different temperatures were analyzed based on thermodynamics. Quantitative relationships between the multiple microelements’ contents and secondary phases, and their effects on fatigue life, were systematically studied in conjunction with the secondary phase microstructure characterization using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, etc. The solid solution contents of different microelements decreased as the temperature decreased, especially N and Ti, but the number of compounds gradually increased when the temperature decreased. Carbonitride constitutional liquation occurred in 50CrVA-S1# spring steel-containing microparticles, and without carbonitrides, constitutional liquation occurred in 50CrVA-S2# spring steel-containing nanoparticles. The experimental results indicate that the fatigue life reduces by about an order of magnitude when the secondary phase size changes from nanometers to microns, and the corresponding relationship among multiple microelements, microstructure of secondary phases, and fatigue life, was established in this spring steel.
