The observations given by Ohtani et al are analyzed in the present paper and it is concluded that the kinetics of temper embrittlement in titanium-doped low carbon NiCr steel agree well with those of non-equilibrium grain-boundary segregation of Sb. Besides, the mechanism of non-equilibrium grain-boundary segregation of Sb is determined to be the most satisfactory one among the existed mechanisms in the literature to interpret the Sb-induced embrittlement kinetics in the NiCr steel. Based on the conclusion and the determination, the activation energy and frequency factor of diffusion of Sb-vacancy complexes are obtained for the first time according to the concept of critical time in non-equilibrium grain-boundary segregation theory. The calculated results can give theoretical basis for predicting and controlling over the Sb-induced embrittlement in steels.

Austenite grain sizes in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of a high heat input welded Zr-Ti bearing microalloyed steel are measured under different welding conditions simulated by a Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator. The austenite grain growth is divided into two regimes in terms of temperature. When the temperature is lower than 1250 ℃ where the pinning effect of precipitates is strong, the austenite grain size increases slowly with increasing peak temperature, but it increases drastically when the temperature is higher than 1250 ℃ where the pinning effect of precipitates is weak. Based on the experimental measurements, an analytical model for predicting the austenite grain size in the heat affected zone is derived. Model predictions indicate that the initial grain size has little effect on the final one, and the grain growth depends mainly on heat input and peak temperature as well as growth activation energy and exponent. With the use of the model, the width of coarse grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) for a thick plate is predicted.
