Influence of rolling temperature on the austenite structure and properties of low-carbon microalloyed steel

Steel in Translation Aims and scope

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.
