Determination of Non-Recrystallization Temperature for Niobium Microalloyed Steel

In the present investigation, the non-recrystallization temperature (T(NR)) of niobium-microalloyed steel is determined to plan rolling schedules for obtaining the desired properties of steel. The value of T(NR) is based on both alloying elements and deformation parameters. In the literature, T(NR)...

description In the present investigation, the non-recrystallization temperature (T(NR)) of niobium-microalloyed steel is determined to plan rolling schedules for obtaining the desired properties of steel. The value of T(NR) is based on both alloying elements and deformation parameters. In the literature, T(NR) equations have been developed and utilized. However, each equation has certain limitations which constrain its applicability. This study was completed using laboratory-grade low-carbon Nb-microalloyed steels designed to meet the API X-70 specification. Nb- microalloyed steel is processed by the melting and casting process, and the composition is found by optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Multiple-hit deformation tests were carried out on a Gleeble(®) 3500 system in the standard pocket-jaw configuration to determine T(NR). Cuboidal specimens (10 (L) × 20 (W) × 20 (T) mm(3)) were taken for compression test (multiple-hit deformation tests) in gleeble. Microstructure evolutions were carried out by using OM (optical microscopy) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). The value of T(NR) determined for 0.1 wt.% niobium bearing microalloyed steel is ~ 951 °C. Nb- microalloyed steel rolled at T(NR) produce partially recrystallized grain with ferrite nucleation. Hence, to verify the TNR value, a rolling process is applied with the finishing rolling temperature near TNR (~951 °C). The microstructure is also revealed in the pancake shape, which confirms T(NR).
