Effects of Finish-Rolling Reduction on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties for C-Si-Mn Hot Rolled Dual-Phase Steel

The experiments were carried out on the φ450 hot rolling mill at the State Key laboratory of Rolling and Automatic of Northeastern University. The effect of different finish-rolling reduction on the microstructure and mechanical properties of C-Si-Mn hot rolled dual-phase steel were studied. It is found that the grain size of the ferrite would be finer with the increasing of finish-rolling reduction. Through the controlling of the finish-rolling reduction, grain size of the ferrite can be finer, so the better properties can be obtained by fine grain and sub-grain strengthened. With the low volume of lath martensite, the elongation of sample is high, the yield-strength ratio is low, and complex properties are better.
