Referencing the composition of a typical Nb+Ti microalloyed steel (Q345B), two kinds of steels, one microalloyed with Sn and Sb, and the other one only microalloyed with Sb were designed to study the effects of Sn and Sb on the hot ductility of Nb+Ti microalloyed steels. The Gleeble-3500 tester was adopted to determine the high-temperature mechanical properties of the two test steels. Fracture morphologies, microstructures and interior precipitation status were analyzed by SEM, CLSM (Confocal laser scanning microscope) and EDS, respectively. Results revealed that within the range of 950–650 °C, there existed the ductility trough for the two steels, which were mainly attributed to the precipitation of TiN and Nb (C, N). Additionally, precipitation of Sn and Sb were not observed in this research and the hot ductility was not affected by the addition of Sn and Sb, as compared with the Nb+Ti microalloyed steel. Therefore, addition of a small amount of Sn and Sb (≤0.05 wt.%) to the Nb+Ti microalloyed steel is favorable due to the improvement on corrosion resistance.

The hot ductility of Ti-Nb microalloyed steel has been investigated to evaluate the sensitivity to surface crack formation during the continuous casting process. Tensile samples were subjected to different thermal treatments and were tested at deformation temperatures ranging from 650°C to 1000°C using a strain rate of 10-3s-1. It has been found, that the investigated steel evinced poor ductility over almost the whole testing temperature range characterized by marked grain boundary cracking, irrespective of which thermal cycle has been utilized or whether the samples have been melted or only reheated. Microstructural examinations and supplementary thermo-kinetic computer simulations revealed distinct Ti-Nb precipitation throughout the microstructure being responsible for the deteriorated materials hot ductility.
