Vanadium in Cold-rolled Sheet Steels
نویسنده
چکیده
In hot rolled products, which are the subject of other presentations here, vanadium has been used for many years in high strength products, often in combination with other microalloying additions such as niobium or titanium. Vanadium can provide important contributions via both precipitation strengthening and ferrite grain refinement (due to austenite conditioning during thermomechanical processing).

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cold Rolled AISI 304L and 316L Austenitic Stainless Steels during Reversion Annealing
Microstructural evolutions during annealing of cold rolled AISI 304L and AISI 316L stainless steels were studied. Cold rolled AISI 304L alloy was fully martensitic but cold rolled AISI 316L alloy was partially martensitic due to the higher stability of the austenite phase in the latter. During continuous heating to elevated temperatures, the complete reversion of strain-induced martensite at 75...
متن کاملMicrostructure and mechanical properties of cold rolled, annealed HSLA strip steels
A large testing programme of a strip steel grade, microalloyed by vanadium, titanium and niobium, was conducted. The experiment was based on combination of cold rolling, recrystallization annealing, mechanical testing, metallographic examinations, SEM and TEM analyses. Samples in the form of stripes with dimensions of 3.9×25×500 mm were rolled in several passes with the total height reduction o...
متن کاملEnhancement of mechanical properties of low carbon steel based on heat treatment and thermo-mechanical processing routes
Thermal treatments and thermo-mechanical processing routes were applied on a conventional structural steel (st37 steel: 0.12C-1.11Mn-0.16Si) for improvement of tensile properties and enhancement of work-hardening behavior. Full annealing resulted in a sheet with coarse ferrite grains and pearlite colonies arranged alternatively in distinct bands, which showed high ductility, low strength, and t...
متن کاملUltra-Fine Grained Dual-Phase Steels
This paper provides an overview on obtaining low-carbon ultra-fine grained dual-phase steels through rapid intercritical annealing of cold-rolled sheet as improved materials for automotive applications. A laboratory processing route was designed that involves cold-rolling of a tempered martensite structure followed by a second tempering step to produce a fine grained aggregate of ferrite and ca...

The effect of microstructural refinement and intercritical annealing on the mechanical properties and work-hardening response of a low carbon St12 steel was studied. It was revealed that intercritical annealing of the ferritic-pearlitic sheet results in the formation of a coarse-grained DP microstructure with discrete martensite islands normally formed in place of pearlitic colonies, which resu...
