Various microstructure models for Nb-bearing steels were tested under industrial strip rolling conditions to establish a relationship between grain size and toughness in Ti-Nb-V microalloyed steels. For similar Nb contents, microstructure models for Nb steels were found to adequately describe recrystallisation kinetics in more complex Ti-Nb-V steels. For thick-walled linepipe (11.6mm), a minimum of 0.04%Nb is required to achieve adequate toughness. Retained strain was the dominant processing parameter factor affecting ferrite grain size. The predicted minimum amount of retained strain after the last pass required for sufficient grain refinement concurred with laboratory simulation results. For the rolling schedules investigated, metadynamic recrystallisation was predicted to occur during roughing, whilst static recrystallisation was predominant during finishing.

Modification of Non-Metallic Inclusions by Rare-Earth Elements in Microalloyed Steels The modification of the chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions by rare-earth elements in the new-developed microalloyed steels was discussed in the paper. The investigated steels are assigned to production of forged elements by thermo-mechanical treatment. The steels were melted in a vaccum induction furnace and modification of non-metallic inclusions was carried out by the michmetal in the amount of 2.0 g per 1 kg of steel. It was found that using material charge of high purity and a realization of metallurgical process in vacuous conditions result in a low concentration of sulfur (0.004%), phosphorus (from 0.006 to 0.008%) and oxygen (6 ppm). The high metallurgical purity is confirmed by a small fraction of non-metallic inclusions averaging 0.075%. A large majority of non-metallic inclusions are fine, globular oxide-sulfide or sulfide particles with a mean size 17 μm2. The chemical composition and morphology of non-metallic inclusions was modified by Ce, La and Nd, what results a small deformability of non-metallic inclusions during hot-working.
