Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Depending on the nitrogen content, vanadium has different effects on the values ofa 1,a p, anda i. In steels not alloyed with nitrogen the value ofa p remains almost unchanged with increasing concentrations of vanadium; in steels with an elevated nitrogen content the value ofa p reaches a peak with the addition of 0.10–0.15% V.

  2. 2.

    The addition of vanadium to the steel alloyed with nitrogen increases the percentage of ductile components in the fracture at negative temperatures, but there is no noticeable effect on the fracture of steels without nitrogen.

The larger values ofa p and the percentage of ductile components in the fracture of steels with nitrogen when vanadium is added can be explained by the substantial grain refining.
