The influence of Ti/N ratio on the effective boron and mechanical properties was investigated by analyzing data from low carbon boron alloyed bainitic steel plates. The result shows Ti/N ratio varies with effective boron value. Less than 50% effective boron was obtained when Ti/N ratio is below 3.3, nearly 90% effective boron is obtained when ratio Ti/N is more than 4; Adding enough Titanium is an effective and economic way to improve qualified ratio of bainitic steel plate. The Ti content between 0.010% and 0.030% does not have obvious effect on the toughness of the bainitic steel;

SPV490Q steel is a low alloy high strength structural steel plate used in the manufacture of oil storage tank. To improve the comprehensive performance of SPV490Q steel plate and reduce manufacturing costs, direct quenching technology has been developed as revolutionary plate manufacturing technologies in recent years. Effect of direct quenching on microstructure and mechanical properties of high performance SPV490Q steel plate has been studied. The direct quenched (DQ) steel plates are rolled at different finish rolling temperatures, and their microstructures and mechanical properties are compared with those of reheat quenched (RQ) steel plate. The optical microstructure of the DQ steel shows deformed grains elongated parallel to the rolling direction, while complete equiaxed grains are visible in RQ steel. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) microstructure of the DQ steel shows refined lath martensite with high density of dislocations. The findings indicate that the application of the direct quenching process to low-carbon alloy steels contributes to the production of steel plates with excellent strength and toughness.

In this paper, a 300 mm thickness ultra-heavy steel plate was selected as the research object. In addition, special roller quenching equipment and a new testing method were used to measure the quenching temperature curve at different positions of the steel plate. The relationships and corresponding interaction mechanisms between cooling rate, microstructure, and mechanical properties of an ultra-heavy steel plate during roller quenching were investigated. The results indicated that the cooling rate, strength, hardness, and impact energy decreased gradually along the thickness direction of the plate, while the cooling rate, average grain size, and mechanical properties were relatively uniform with little change along the length direction of the plate. The experimental results provide an effective way to further control the microstructure and properties of ultra-heavy steel plates during roller quenching.

In the present study, the effects of ausforming on the bainitic transformation, microstructure and mechanical properties of a low-carbon rich-silicon carbide-free bainitic steel have been investigated. Results show that prior ausforming shortens both the incubation period and finishing time of bainitic transformation during isothermal treatment at a temperature slightly above the Mspoint. The thicknesses of bainitic ferrite laths are reduced appreciably by ausforming; however, ausforming increases the amount of large blocks of retained austenite/martenisite and decreases the volume fraction of retained austenite. And accordingly, ausforming gives rise to significant increases in both yield and tensile strengths, but causes noticeable decreases in ductility and impact toughness.
