The V(C, N) precipitates and its nucleation effect on ferrite were investigated by TEM and EDS. The experimental results show that there are two remarkable heterogeneous nucleation effects of V(C, N) particles precipitated before γ →/ α phase change: primary reason is that high coherency between V(C, N) and ferrite promotes V(C, N) to become a nucleating center of intragranular ferrite; secondary reason is that the coarsening of V(C, N) causes locally solute-poor region in austenite, thus expedites the nucleation of intragranular ferrites further. Furthermore, the relationship between the size and shape of V(C, N) was studied, and identification method was provided for distinguishing interphase precipitation and general precipitation to avoid erroneous judgment and misguide.展开更多

Experimental results show that the processing map for the VN steel exhibits two dynamic recrystallization and three instability domains, while that for the Non-VN steel has one dynamic recrystallization and three instability domains. The instability domains of VN steel are larger than those of the Non-VN steel, and the VN steel is easier to be unstable when being hot deformed at high temperature and high stain rate. The addition and precipitation of vanadium and nitrogen can hinder the dynamic recrystallization. Compared with the Non-VN steel, the VN steel has higher dynamic recrystallization critical strain and the corresponding stress.展开更多
