a low carbon al-killed ti-added steel was produced in mobarakeh steel complex in iran. mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. it was found that the addition of small amounts of ti increased ...

Investigations were conducted on low-carbon steel and the steel with same chemical composition with addition of microalloying element niobium. While tensile testing was carried out, the thermographic measurement was tacking place simultaneously. A specific behavior of niobium microalloyed steel was noticed. Test results have shown that, in the elastic deformation region, thermoelastic effect oc...

This paper presents a study of the quasi-static and dynamic deformation behaviors of conventional and microalloyed medium-carbon steels in a wide temperature range. As strain rate increased, the flow stress increased at room temperature, but occasionally did not at elevated temperatures. The flow stress of the microalloyed steel containing precipitates was less sensitive to strain rate at room ...

Machining through turning was carried out in a lathe to study the chip formation of Multiphase Ferrite (F-B-M) microalloyed steel. Taguchi orthogonal array was employed to perform the machining. Continuous and discontinuous chips were formed for different cutting parameters like speed, feed and depth of cut. Optical and scanning electron microscope was employed to identify the chip morphology. ...

the flow stress of steel depends significantly on microstructural changes taken place during hot deformation processes. in hot deformation processes, the flow stress of steel is influenced by two main metallurgical phenomena, i.e. recovery and recrystallization, along with its chemical composition and thermo-mechanical parameters. the final mechanical properties of steel are also determined by ...

This paper deals with the influence of steel composition (with respect to the microalloying elements) and therrnomechanical treatment on structure and mechanical behaviour of HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) steels. Four different microalloyed steels have been TM rolled under variing conditions. The austenite structure prior to transformation could be revealed by means of a special etching techni...

the aim of the paper presented here is to develop the ti - micralloyed steel in otrer to oprtmize the mechanical properties after direct quenching from hot forging temperature. for this purpose, seven melts containing various amounts of titanium were prepared and cast in metal and sand molds. from the ingots, cast in metal mould, tractor links were produced by hot forging. the produced links we...

Abstract The composite precipitation of Ti 2 O 3 + TiN during continuous casting has an important influence on the microstructure and properties slab. In order to study conditions , TiC second phase in titanium microalloyed steel, solid-liquid line temperature, initial temperature different phase, equilibrium actual solubility product at temperatures are calculated, rules steel liquid two-phase...

The resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is of essential importance for steels for vessels for storage of hydrocarbons and depends on the effect of absorbed hydrogen on steel ductility. API tests have shown for the 490 MPa yield stress HSLA steels with the microstructure of ferrite and cementite particles a much greater reduction of area than for the 350 MPa steel with the microstructure of pol...
