Semi-empirical models for predicting the austenite static recrystallization behavior are widely used in designing thermomechanical treatments to improve final mechanical properties. However, a problem with these models is that their utility can be limited to the range of deformation conditions and chemical compositions they were developed for. This work focuses on the study of the applicability of current recrystallization models to the range of low strain conditions and/or high Nb microalloying additions (≈0.1%). To do so, the recrystallization behavior of two low carbon Nb-Ti microalloyed steels (0.04 and 0.11% Nb and ≈0.01% Ti) has been investigated by torsion tests. Experimental results for recrystallization time and recrystallized grain size have been compared to previously developed equations. It has been observed that at low strains (ε = 0.1) the predictions fail. A dependence of the n Avrami exponent both on temperature and applied strain was also found.

The effects of Nb and V on the anisotropy and textures featuring the hot rolled low carbon microalloyed steels produced by A.S.T. (Arvedi Steel Technology) have been studied as a function of the final coiling temperatute Tcoiling. Mechanical properties and r-values for twelve steels have been determined through tensile tests performed on three main different directions: 0°, 45°, 90° to the rolling one. The samples have been analysed by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction) to identify the textures developed during the process. The relations among the chemical composition of the steels (i.e. C, N, Nb, V contents), the mechanical properties, the temperature during the coiling operations, the textures and the formability properties have been pointed out.

Global economy requires steel with further increasing mechanical properties and simultaneously decreasing price. In mass manufacturing three major methods can be used to increase strength: (i) increase microalloying element additions (increases cost), (ii) decrease deformation temperature and (iii) increase cooling rate after high temperature processing (both can be challenging for equipment). Thin strip casting is an effective way to reduce cost as it brings a reduction in number of deformation passes and shortens the production line. However, the mechanical properties can be missed due to insufficient microstructure development. In this article, we investigate a recently proposed technology based on Austenite Conditioning followed by Accelerated Cooling and Warm Deformation (AC2WD). Two low carbon steels microalloyed with either 0.012Ti or 0.1Mo-0.064Nb-0.021Ti (wt.%) were subjected to three processing modifications of the AC2WD-technology with two, one or no deformation of cast microstructure in the austenite temperature field. The Ti- and MoNbTi-steels exhibited 685–765 MPa and 880–950 MPa of the yield stress, 780–840 MPa and 1035–1120 MPa of tensile strength, and 20–30% and 22–24% of elongation to failure, respectively. The nature of strengthening mechanisms associated with the AC2WD-technology is discussed on the basis of detailed microstructure characterisation.
