Abstract

Low-carbon steel has been widely used in a variety of industries, but its limited strength makes it difficult to develop its potential applications. The current work aims to produce ultrafine-grains in low-carbon steel using cryorolling at various thickness reductions of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%, and to investigate its impact on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior. Hardness and tensile strength increased with reduction, with the highest values attained at 90% with 208.5 Hv and 826.5 MPa, respectively. The sample cryorolled at 90% has the smallest crystallite size (38.16 nm) and the highest lattice strain (20.58 × 10−4). Low-angle grain boundaries increase as the thickness decreases, whereas high-angle grain boundaries show a different trend. Corrosion resistance decreases with thickness reduction, with the highest corrosion rate (18.912 mm/year) obtained for the sample cryorolled at 90%.
