Abstract: In this work, the influence of Ni (wt%)contents on the microstructure, mechanical properties and Cu-rich precipitates (CRPs) of high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels (1.5 Ni and 2.0 Ni), which were subjected to water quenching at 900 ℃ and aging process at 630 ℃ for 2 h, were studied by optical microscopy (OM), high-resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). The results indicate that the strength and impact absorption energy (-60 ℃) of 2.0 Ni steel are higher than those of 1.5 Ni steel. The microstructure of two steels has no obvious change as Ni content increases, which is mainly constituted of lath and granular bainite. In 1.5 Ni steel, CRPs with twinned fcc structure are mostly ellipsoid, and the average radius and number density are around 3.5 nm and 1.5×1022 m-3, respectively. By comparison, in 2.0 Ni steel, CRPs with 9R structure are mostly spherical, and the average radius and number density are about 2.9 nm and 2.9×1022 m-3, respectively. With Ni content increasing, the critical nucleation energy of CRPs decreased and number density increased. Meanwhile, Ni and Mn atoms more likely segregate at the CRPs/matrix interfaces in 2.0 Ni steel, which can effectively decline the interfacial energy. Thus, CRPs is relatively stable and difficult to grow up and coarsen. As a result, the size of CRPs in 2.0 Ni steel was relatively small, but the number density was higher, corresponding to higher precipitation strengthening effects.
