The results revealed ahnost no differences in the solute solution strengthening and fine grained strengthcning of the two steels, whereas the contributions of pre cipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening were different for ST-TQ500 and NT-TQ500. The measured precipitation strengthening effect of ST-TQ500 was 88 MPa higher than that of NT-TQ500： this difference was pri marily attributed to the stronger precipitation effect of thc Ti-containing nanoscale particles. The dislocation strengthening effect of ST TQ500 was approximately 80 MPa lower than that of NT-TQ500. This is tbought to be related to differences in deformation behavior during the finishing rolling stage; the inhibition of dynamic recrystallization from Nb in NT-TQ500 （Nb-Ti） may lead to higher density of dislocations in the microstructure.展开更多
