The results showed that the precipitation of Ti(C,N) mostly took place during soaking and hot rolling, which is significantly different from that in the conventional production. These fine Ti carbonitride particles could be very effective on the austenite grain refinement by hindering grain growth of recrystallized austenite. Their precipitation behavior was discussed and compared with that of the steels produced in the conventional production.展开更多
By careful design of rolling schedule,ultra-fine (~2μm) ferrite grains in a low carbon high niobium (0.09wt%Nb) microalloying steel with average austenite grain sizes above 800 μm can be achieved in the simulat...By careful design of rolling schedule,ultra-fine (~2μm) ferrite grains in a low carbon high niobium (0.09wt%Nb) microalloying steel with average austenite grain sizes above 800 μm can be achieved in the simulated thin slab direct rolling process. The 5-pass deformation was divided into two stages: the refinement of austenite through complete recrystallization and the refinement of ferrite through dynamic strain-induced transformation. The effects of Nb in solution and strain-induced NbCN precipitates on the ferrite transformation were also extensively discussed.展开更多
