Abstract

Cold-rolled steels used for the forged components of automobiles should exhibit high, partly mutually-exclusive properties: high forgeability with desirably high strength, resistance to aging combined with hardenability at temperatures for drying paint coatings, etc. Satisfaction of these requirements is provided to a considerable degree by microalloying. The final mechanical properties of cold-rolled steel depend on such structural parameters of hot-rolled strip as texture, the amount of dissolved C and N atoms in α-solid solution, and ferrite grain size. With constant hot rolling production schedules these structural parameters are governed by steel composition, in particular by the type of microalloying. In this work the effect is considered for dispersed microalloying elements, i.e., phosphorus, boron, titanium, and nïobium, on the final mechanical properties of low- and ultralow-carbon steels.
