Based on the hot-continuous rolling technology, the
finishing rolling
impact work α k of the non-quenched and tempered Si-Mn steel is theoretically calculated with the covalent
electron number nA of the strongest bond in alloying phases, and the smallest
interface electron
density difference Δρ of alloying phase interface and the number of atom states σ which keep the interface electron density continuous. Calculations show that the solution
strengthening, the precipitation strengthening, and the interface strengthening will result in the decrease of the finishing rolling impact work α k, and the effects of the number of atom states σ which keep the interface electron density continuous on the finishing rolling impact work α k are different. Taking the impact work and the number of atom states σ 0 keeping the electron density continuous of the phase interface α-
fe/α-Fe-C between α-Fe and α-Fe-C as reference values, the impact work of the interface will increase when σ of some interface is larger than σ 0; otherwise, the impact will decrease. Therefore, the finishing rolling impact work α k can be calculated with the impact value of the refined α-Fe matrix and the influence amounts caused by the solution strengthening, the precipitation strengthening, the interface strengthening, and the number of atom states σ which keep the interface electron density continuous. The calculated results agree well with the measured ones. In this paper, the effect of S on the impact work is also discussed.
