The technology has been developed for the production of low-carbon and microalloyed steel for the production of strips in order to manufacture small and medium-diameter pipes for the extraction and transportation of petroleum products. The developed technology allows to obtain stable corrosion properties, according to the NACE Standard TM 0284 technique, in a hot-rolled condition from slab with thickness more than 200 mm and with a content of more than 0.03% of carbon, which is very difficult in terms of ensuring the availability of inclusions and heterogeneity in the structure - as the main reasons for the reduced fracture toughness of steels working in acid media (in environments saturated with H2S). The obtained results allowed, with minimum costs, to prepare the previously developed integrated computer model (STAN 2000) for calculating the structure and mechanical properties. Calculations using the model made it possible to select such temperature-deformation regimes, which would be the minimum structural inhomogeneity over the section of the thickness of the hot-rolled strip. The results obtained: corrosion resistance repeatedly confirmed by the absence of cracks at the beginning after testing in accordance with the procedure Standard TM 0284.

The development of TRansformation Induced Plasicity (TRIP) steels has seen much activity in recent years, due to the promise of very high formability combined with high strength. The accepted method for production of as-hot-rolled TRIP steel employs multistage runout table cooling and coiling in the bainitic transformation temperature regime. As an alternative to confronting the production difficulties the accepted strategy presents, a program was begun to evaluate the potential of 0.1C-6.0Mn steels processed in a more conventional manner. Three laboratory heats were melted to consider the effect of manganese content on processing and properties. The steels were found to be fully hardenable with conventional hot-strip mill processing and subsequent batch annealing simulations produced significant retained austenite levels. The combination of the prior martensitic microstructure in the as-hot-rolled condition, and austenite created during annealing, resulted in remarkable combinations of strength and ductility. In the as-hot-rolled condition, tensile strengths exceeding 1400 MPa were observed, with total elongations of approximately 10 percent. Optimum properties were found when samples were annealed at approximately 650°C. While this treatment reduced the tensile strength to 800-1000 MPa, the total elongation increased to between 30 percent and 40 percent. UTS*TE products exceeding 30,000 MPa-% were observed, making these materials attractive for high strength, high ductility applications.

In order to make a comprehensive comparison between ultra-thin hot rolled low carbon steel (LC) and extra low carbon steel (ELC) produced by endless roll technology and explain the differences, a detailed investigation into the microstructural characterization, characteristics of cementite and precipitates, mechanical properties, internal friction peaks, texture characterization by an X-ray powder diffractometer and electron backscatter diffraction, and formability including earing behavior, hole expanding ratio and V-shaped bending properties was carried out with different carbon content for 1.0 mm thickness ultra-thin hot rolled strip produced in endless strip production line. The experimental results indicate that the microstructure of both is composed of multi-layer areas with different grain sizes and thicknesses, the strength and elongation of LC are higher than that of ELC, but the content of solid solution carbon atoms and r of ELC are higher than that of LC, at the same time, the formability of ultra-thin strip ELC is better than that of LC mainly related to the content of {hkl} <110> and {111} <112> of ELC was higher than those of LC. The mechanical and formability properties of ultra-thin hot rolled strip by endless roll technology can meet the requirements of replacement cold rolled strip by hot rolled strip.

Transformation Induced Plasicity (TRIP) steels have attracted a growing interest in recent years due to their high strength and ductility combination.An alternative alloy and processing concept has been studied to evaluate the feasibility of producing low-carbon medium-manganese TRIP Steels. Conventional hot-rolling, and batch annealing processes were simulated with three laboratory heats of varying manganese content. The steels were found to be fully hardenable with conventional hot-strip mill processing and subsequent batch annealing simulations produced significant retained austenite levels. The combination of the prior martensitic microstructure in the as-hot-rolled condition, and austenite created during annealing,resulted in remarkable combinations of strength and ductility. Optimum properties were found when samples were annealed at approximately 630°C. While this treatment maded the tensile strength to 800-1020 MPa, the total elongation increased to between 27 percent and 35 percent. UTS*TE products exceeding 30,000 MPa*% were observed, making these materials attractive for high strength, high ductility applications.

The influence of the coiling temperature, ranging from 550 to 570°C, on the morphology and the phase composition of the oxide scale formed on the microalloyed low carbon steel for automobiles after hot strip rolling was investigated. Physicochemical characteristics of the oxide scales were examined and their formation mechanism was discussed. Thickness of the oxide scale is in the range of 8-11µm and decreases with a decrease of coiling temperature. The microstructure and phase composition, XRD analysis shows a large amount of magnetite (Fe3O4) and some sparse hematite (Fe2O3) exist on the surface of hot rolled strip when the coiling temperature reduces from 570 to 550°C. The coiling temperature substantially affects the internal microstructure and magnetite phase.

AbstractThis paper comprehends the effects of finish rolling temperature (FRT) and Nb-microalloying on the microstructural evolution and resultant properties of a low carbon direct quenched steel in the yield strength category of ≥900 MPa. Results indicate that a decrease in FRT close to Ar3temperature significantly influenced the microstructure following phase transformation, especially at the subsurface (~50-400 μm) of the rolled strip. On decreasing the FRT, the subsurface microstructure revealed a fine mixture of ferrite and bainite obviously as a result of strain-induced transformation, whereas the structure at the centreline remained essentially martensitic. Further, Nb-microalloying promoted the formation of ferrite and bainite even at higher FRTs, thus influencing the mechanical properties. The microstructures of the hot-rolled strips were further corroborated with the aid of CCT diagrams.

The transient multiphase flow behavior in a single-strand tundish during ladle change was studied using physical modeling. The water and silicon oil were employed to simulate the liquid steel and slag. The effect of the turbulence inhibitor on the slag entrainment and the steel exposure during ladle change were evaluated and discussed. The effect of the slag carry-over on the water-oil-air flow was also analyzed. For the original tundish, the top oil phase in the impact zone was continuously dragged into the tundish bath and opened during ladle change, forming an emulsification phenomenon. By decreasing the liquid velocities in the upper part of the impact zone, the turbulence inhibitor decreased considerably the amount of entrained slag and the steel exposure during ladle change, thereby eliminating the emulsification phenomenon. Furthermore, the use of the TI-2 effectively lowered the effect of the slag carry-over on the steel cleanliness by controlling the movement of slag droplets. The results from industrial trials indicated that the application of the TI-2 reduced considerably the number of linear inclusions caused by ladle change in hot-rolled strip coils.
