abstract

in the present work the recrystallization behavior of deep drawing grade al-killed low carbon steel sheets produced by mobarakeh steel plant (msp) has been studied. salt bath isothermal annealing has been applied to cold rolled samples and the resulted microstrucrures have been compared with the microstructure obtained from the box annealing process in msp. it is found that at 635 and 700ºc the isothermal annealing produces equiaxed grains, while box annealing process presents an elongated grain structure. the recrystallization fractions have been measured using the point counting method. the linear intercept method has been employed to measure the grain size. it is revealed that at 550ºc, in salt bath annealing, recrystallization is stopped after 50% recrystallization with elongated new grains. constant grain sizes upon holding after recrystallization at 635 and 700ºc during isothermal annealing show that the grain growth is stopped. further holding at 700ºc results an abnormal grain growth in the recrystalized microstructure. the hardness variations during annealing, with a decrease at the beginning of annealing followed by an increase trend at all temperatures, show a good consistency with microstructural observations. investigation of the results leads to the conclusion that a precipitation process occurs during annealing which greatly affects both restoration processes and resulted microstructure as well as the properties. the effect of the precipitation process depends on the time of its occurrence with respect to each restoration process. a relatively high value of 315 kj/mole for recrystallization activation energy has been related to the simultaneous occurrence of recrystallization and precipitation processes.

Experimental and Finite Element Studies on Formability of Low Carbon Steel Sheets using Deep Drawing

Abstract One of the commonly used metal forming processes is deep drawing, in which circular blanks are converted into a cup or shell with good surface finish. In this paper, the forming characteristics of Deep Draw Steel (DDS), a low-carbon steel with many engineering and automotive applications, is investigated by deep drawing. The forming limit diagram is a useful concept in favor of charact...

Isothermal Recrystallization Behavior of Cold-deformed Martensite in an Ultra-low-carbon Microalloyed Steel

One of the most promising ways to produce a grain-refined microstructure in some steel materials is the thermomechanical processing route of subcritical recrystallization annealing of a cold-deformed martensite structure. In the present study, the microstructural evolutions and the associated recrystallization kinetics under various subcritical annealing heat treatment conditions are explored i...

Low Carbon Steel Sheets Obtained by Reactive Annealing

This paper deals with the possibility of reducing carbon content by heat treatment in reactive atmospheres in order to improve plastic deformations properties of steel sheets. The heat treatment involves a decarburation annealing after a cold rolling, as opposed to the traditional process that performs the heat treatment in non-reactive atmospheres. Some of the most relevant variables were stud...

Static Strain Aging Behavior of Low Carbon Steel Drawn Wire

The static strain aging is a phenomenon that can change the mechanical properties of low carbon steels. Thus, the static strain aging behavior of low carbon steel wires after drawing process is studied. To do so, the wires are austenitized at different temperatures and cooled in different rates. Then the wires are drawn and aged at a specific temperature and time. Before and after aging of each...
