Niobium Microalloyed Steel

The MMS-200 thermal simulation testing machine was used to study the static softening behavior of low carbon high niobium microalloyed steel. The effect of niobium to the static recrystallization softening behavior of the microalloy steel had been analyzed by establishing the kinetics model of static recrystallization and the micro-morphology of precipitates. The results indicated that: the static softening behavior of the tested steel significantly influenced by the deformation temperature and the interval pass time of the rolling processing. At relatively high deformation temperature and long interval pass time, the ratio of static softening was increased. Then the deformation temperature was lower to 950°C, and the static softening behavior of the test steel was ceased. But when the deformation temperature was higher than 1000°C, the static softening behavior of the test steel completely occurred. The activation energy of the test steel was 325·mol-1 by the established model calculated.

Deformation Tests

In the present investigation, the non-recrystallization temperature (TNR) of niobium-microalloyed steel is determined to plan rolling schedules for obtaining the desired properties of steel. The value of TNR is based on both alloying elements and deformation parameters. In the literature, TNR equations have been developed and utilized. However, each equation has certain limitations which constrain its applicability. This study was completed using laboratory-grade low-carbon Nb-microalloyed steels designed to meet the API X-70 specification. Nb- microalloyed steel is processed by the melting and casting process, and the composition is found by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Multiple-hit deformation tests were carried out on a Gleeble® 3500 system in the standard pocket-jaw configuration to determine TNR. Cuboidal specimens (10 (L) × 20 (W) × 20 (T) mm3) were taken for compression test (multiple-hit deformation tests) in gleeble. Microstructure evolutions were carried out by using OM (optical microscopy) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). The value of TNR determined for 0.1 wt.% niobium bearing microalloyed steel is ~ 951 °C. Nb- microalloyed steel rolled at TNR produce partially recrystallized grain with ferrite nucleation. Hence, to verify the TNR value, a rolling process is applied with the finishing rolling temperature near TNR (~951 °C). The microstructure is also revealed in the pancake shape, which confirms TNR.

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 occurs, which is more pronounced in niobium microalloyed steel. Start of plastic flow in steel which is not microalloyed with niobium begins later in comparison to the microalloyed steel, and it is conducted so that, at the point of maximum stress, deformation zone is formed within which stresses grow. In steel microalloyed with niobium after proportionality limit, comes the occurrence of the localized increase in temperature and the occurrence of Lüders band, which propagate along the sample forming a deformation zone.

Warm deformation is one of the promising hot rolling strategies for producing thin hot rolled steel strips. A better understanding of the microstructure evolution during warm deformation is important for a successful introduction of such processing into the industrial production. In the present research, the effect of deformation strain on the ferrite microstructure development in a low carbon Ti-microalloyed steel was investigated through warm torsion testing. Microstructural analysis with optical microscope and electron back-scattering diffraction was carried out on the warm deformed ferrite microstructures. The results show that at the early stage of deformation an unstable subboundaries network forms and low angle boundaries are introduced in the original grains. Then, with further straining, low angle boundaries transform into high angle boundaries and stable fine equiaxed ferrite grains form. It was considered that dynamic softening and dynamically formation of new fine ferrite grains, with high angle boundaries, were caused by continuous dynamic recrystallization of ferrite.
