The main aim of the proiect was to develop a new knowledge on the interaction between precipitation and recrystallization on all types of microalloyed steels, from low-carbon HSLA steels slab casted for strip rolling, to medium carbon microalloyed grades bloom or billet casted to be rolled into long products to be finally used for drop forcing of automotive components. Special care has been devoted to the determination of the not yet well known Recrystallization-Preeipitation-Time-Temperature (RPTT) diagrams by different research techniques as hot torsion, hot compression and deformation dilatometry. A detailed quantification of the precipitated particles in different stages has been performed in order to relate their volume fraction, size and composition with austenite microstructure leading to a better understanding of the precipitation-recrystallization interaction. Two main techniques have been used in order to characterise the microprecipitates nature: chemical extraction and TEM analysis (thin foil for the IF steel). From the examinations performed, it has been concluded that the role played by grain boundary precipitation has been strongly underestimated and sorne traditional beliefs about the role of solute drag effect have been discussed. Therefore, it has been suggested that a new model of the precipitation-recrystallization interaction be constructed in a slightly different way. Finally, a model on precipitation kinetics has been constructed in isothermal conditions and converted at cooling rate conditions. This model could be very useful in order to redesign process parameters such as rolling mill deformations or reheating temperatures. To achieve these goals, three steelmakers (Thyssen-Krupp, Ascometal, Sidenor) have joined their interests with a research centre (Cenim) and the University of Pisa.
The predictions of the model are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental observations. Both point to a strong interaction between precipitation and recovery in microalloyed steels. This interaction dominates the microstructural evolution of these steels at low rolling-temperatures.
"The strengthening due to the presence of Mn, Mo, Nb and V in solution was determined from the yield strengths of these steels. The increment in yield strength over that of the plain C steel was determined as 70% and 7% per 0.1 at.% of Nb and V when each is added singly. The strengthening increased to 80% and 8% respectively for these elements when present jointly in austenite. The strength increments were 9% for Mo and 1.3% for Mn per 0.1 at.% when added to a 0.035% Nb steel. The rank order of these effects is also explained in terms of the electronic and atomic size differences, and a possible reason for the synergistic effect (e.g. in the case of Nb and V in a Nb-V steel) is proposed." --
In response to the demanding requirements of different sectors, such as construction, transportation, energy, manufacturing, and mining, new generations of microalloyed steels are being developed and brought to market. The addition of microalloying elements, such as niobium, vanadium, titanium, boron, and/or molybdenum, has become a key tool in the steel industry to reach economically-viable grades with increasingly higher mechanical strength, toughness, good formability, and weldable products. The challenges that microalloying steel production faces can be solved with a deeper understanding of the effects that these microalloying additions and combinations of them have during the different steps of the steelmaking process.
The steel industry continues to remain a highly dynamic sector that must repeatedly face new challenges. During recent years, key factors have been the consolidation of new technologies, the marketing of new steel grades and the development of new products. Innovation, cost-reduction and environmental conservation are challenges that all of the players in the steel world - i.e. industry, research and academia - have to confront every day. Microalloying is one of the principal actors in this struggle.
