Abstract
In laboratory conditions, the influence of the temperature interval in the finishing stage of controlled rolling on the structure of hot-deformed austenite, the final microstructure, and the properties of low-carbon microalloyed steel is studied. Experiments show that reducing that temperature interval within the range T nr-A r3 reduces the grain size in the direction transverse to rolling and increases the number of deformational twins within the hot-deformed austenite grains. The effect is to improve the grain size and uniformity of the ferrite-bainite microstructure and hence to improve the mechanical properties of the thick sheet produced.
