A Study on Precipitation in Clean Micro Alloyed Steels
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2020
Abstract
Much attention has been devoted to develop the new generation of microalloyed steels in recent years to meet the needs of high performance and low cost for the 21st century. The new type of steels is characterized by reduced carbon content, improved cleanness and refined grain size through the phase transformations.11'21 Precipitation of the carbonitrides in the steels is also one of the keypoints for controlling mechanical properties of the steels.
In the present work ultra-low carbon clean microalloyed steels, which contain 0.029∽0.047(wt)%C, 1.48∽1.54(wt)% Mn, 0.044∽0.052(wt)%Nb, 0.025∽0.044Ti(wt)%, 0.0015∽0.0020(wt)%B and 0.0045∽0.0070(wt)%N, were prepared in a vacuum induction furnace in laboratory. The contents of S and P of the steels are 0.0005(wt)% and 0.0010∽0.0024(wt)% respectively. Total amount of the impurity elements O, S, P and H in the steels is 0.0061∽0.0077%. Dominant component of the structure in both casting and as-forged samples is acicular ferrite or bainite.
