The occurrence of abnormal grain growth (AGG) of austenite during annealing is a serious problem in steels with carbide and/or nitride particles, which should be avoided from a viewpoint of mechanical properties. The effects of cold deformation prior to annealing on the occurrence of AGG have been investigated. It was found that the temperature range of the occurrence of AGG is shifted toward a low temperature region by cold deformation, and that the shift increases with the increase of the reduction ratio. The lowered AGG occurrence temperature is attributed to the fine and near-equilibrium AlN particles that are precipitated in the cold-deformed steel, which is readily dissolved during annealing. In contrast, coarse and non-equilibrium AlN particles precipitated in the undeformed steel, which is resistant to dissolution during annealing.

Accorded with the criteria the X80 pipeline steels with RE additions have been prepared with a vacuum induction furnace. The effect of rare earths (RE) on austenite grain growth behavior in pipeline steel has been discussed in this work. After hot rolled, the effect of RE on austenite grain growth behavior have been studied by the thermal simulator, scanning electron microscopy and metallographic microscope. The results indicate that RE additions inhibit the abnormal growth of austenite grain, trace RE could significantly influence the austenite grain growth behavior, and obtain fine grain size in X80 pipeline steel. For instance, the activation energy of grain growth reduced from 475 kJ/mol to 425 kJ/mol with addition of 0.0220 wt.% RE according with no deliberate RE additions, but the grain growth index increased from 3.5 to 4.5.
