Abstract YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 Steels comprise a series of high-strength, cold-rolled steels designed to meet performance and weight-saving objectives. They are an extension of Youngstown's series of hot-rolled high-strength steels (see Youngstown YS-T Steel, Alloy Digest SA-261, March 1971). The YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 steels have minimum yield strengths ranging from 50,000 psi to 140,000 psi. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-331. Producer or source: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.

Continuous Annealing Furnace

The empirical optimization of technologies for continuous annealing of cold rolled strips is very time, material and cost intensive. The properties of cold rolled strips demanded by the customer are adjustable only in relatively closely limited temperature - time regimes. Therefore, it is a complex task to increase the performance of continuous annealing furnaces without disadvantages for the product quality. This problem can be solved by nume-rical modelling the microstructure evolution in the cold rolled strip during continuous annealing combined with experimental simulation of the annealing process. At the Institut für Werkstoffwissenschaft, Technische Universität Dresden, in co-operation with EKO Stahl GmbH, Eisenhüttenstadt, a computer program signed as TFB was deve-loped. It is suited for modelling and simulating the recrystallization kinetics in cold rolled strips during continuous annealing. Furthermore, this program can be used for optimizing the annealing technology. For example, for IF steel the pre-sent paper demonstrates to what extent the performance of a continuous annealing furnace can be increased. Further results concern the improvement of the microstructure of the high strength microalloyed steel ZStE 380 Z by optimizing the annealing technology by means of experimental simulation.

Body In White

New type of IF cold-rolled high strength steels (HSSs) with the strength level of 390 and 440MPa have been developed under the chemistry of the extra-low carbon steel containing around 60ppm C with an intentional addition of niobium by hybridizing the precipitation hardening with niobium carbides and the supplemental solid-solution hardening. In this steel, Precipitation Free Zone (PFZ) nearby recrystallized grain boundaries forms during continuous annealing. This structure leads to unique mechanical properties such as lower yielding and superior anti-secondary-work embrittlement under fine grain structure strictly required for the exposed panels in Body-in-White. Principles of the unique mechanical properties of the steel are introduced related with the formation of PFZ during annealing, and the results of further approach to improve them as the state-of-the-art product, which is widely used for the exposed panels in Body in White, are introduced in the paper.

Predominant Effect

Microalloying elements Ti and Nb are commonly added to high-strength Dual Phase steels as they can provide efficient means for additional strengthening due to grain refinement and precipitation strengthening mechanisms. In the form of solute elements or as fine carbonitride precipitates, Ti and Nb are also expected to have a significant effect on the microstructural changes during annealing and especially on recrystallization kinetics. The present work investigates the influence of microalloying elements Ti and Nb on recrystallization in various cold-rolled Dual Phase steel grades with the same initial microstructure but different microalloying contents. Using complementary experimental and modeling approaches makes it possible to give some clarifications regarding both the nature of this effect and the comparative efficiency of Ti and Nb on delaying recrystallization. It is shown that niobium is the most efficient micro-alloying element to impede recrystallization and that the predominant effect is solute drag.

Kinetics Of

A systematic experimental investigation was conducted using lab processed low carbon 0.08C-2.0Mn-Cr-Mo steel microalloyed with Ti/Nb to evaluate the influence of initial hot-rolled microstructures on the kinetics of austenite formation and decomposition after cold-rolling and subsequent annealing. Coiling temperature as a major hot rolling parameter was used to obtain different types of hot-rolled microstructures. Dilatometer and continuous annealing simulator were employed for austenite formation studies and annealing simulations, respectively. It was found that the coiling temperature affects the processes occurring during heat treatment in continuous annealing lines of full hard material: ferrite recrystallization, austenite formation during continuous heating and austenite decomposition during cooling. A decrease in coiling temperature accelerates the recrystallization of ferrite and nucleation of austenite, which results in formation of refined ferrite-martensite structure. The effect of initial hot rolled structure on final mechanical properties after continuous annealing was also investigated.
