Using the methods of transmission and scanning microscopy, the features of modification of the grain- and heterophase structure of an V–Zr–C alloy are investigated as a function of its thermomechanical processing. It is shown that the use of the proposed process regimes provides the formation of highly refined (to about 5 nm) secondary-phase precipitates uniformly distributed in the bulk of the material, which significantly improves the strength characteristics at room and elevated (800°C) temperatures, while maintaining acceptable process plasticity. The influence of a variety of hardening factors on parameters of mechanical properties of the V–Zr–C alloy is discussed.
