Objective
Complex deformation processing conditions change carbide precipitation behaviors of TWIP steel, deteriorate industrial workshop operating environment, bring long-term occupational psychological pressure to front-line workers, induce unstable mental states and threaten on-site staff’s mental health. This paper explores the coupling relationship between steel microstructure evolution rule and workers’ psychological changes, aiming to optimize processing parameters, reduce environmental-induced psychological pressure and maintain stable occupational mental health of industrial operators.
Subjects and Methods
TWIP steel specimens under different deformation parameters are adopted for thermal simulation tests to characterize carbide precipitation kinetics. Meanwhile, front-line workshop workers are selected as psychological research subjects. This study combines material microstructure detection and psychological scale tests, analyzes the correlation between harsh processing environment, workers’ psychological pressure, fluctuating mental states and mental health levels, and reveals the internal coupling law.
Results
Excessive deformation accelerates abnormal carbide precipitation of TWIP steel, worsens industrial working conditions, raises workers’ chronic psychological pressure and causes negative mental states. Optimized deformation parameters inhibit undesirable carbide precipitation, improve workshop environmental comfort, relieve occupational psychological pressure, stabilize workers’ mental states and significantly improve their on-site mental health status.
Conclusions
There is a significant bidirectional coupling effect between TWIP steel carbide precipitation kinetics and industrial workers’ mental health. Reasonable control of deformation technological parameters can improve workshop working environment, cut down workers’ environmental psychological pressure, correct disordered mental states, protect industrial occupational mental health, and realize coordinated optimization of material processing technology and human occupational psychology.
