Ultrafine grained steel technology, based on deformation induced ferrite transformation (DIFT)and successive microstructure changes, is illustrated for grain refinement in both plain low carbon steel and microalloyed steel. Delayed fracture resistance of alloy structure steel can be improved through prior austenite grain refinement. It is shown by results that nano scale precipitates play an important role to grain refinement in thin slab casting and rolling (TSCR)process. Progresses on super cleanliness, high homogeneity, welding and metallurgical process simulation are also briefly introduced.展开更多
The effect of vanadium on the DIFT (Deformation Induced Ferrite Transformation) microstructure coarsening in low carbon steel during the continuous cooling processes and isothermal processes at different temperatures ...The effect of vanadium on the DIFT (Deformation Induced Ferrite Transformation) microstructure coarsening in low carbon steel during the continuous cooling processes and isothermal processes at different temperatures were investigated using thermo-simulator.The results showed that the steel containing a small amount of vanadium had the similar velocity of grain growth with the vanadium free steel during the continuous cooling process,but a lower velocity of grain growth than that of vanadium free steel during isothermal processes at high temperatures.On the other hand,the vanadium remarkably inhibited grain growth in the steel containing a high amount of vanadium during both the continuous cooling and isothermal processes.Vanadium dissolved in matrix is indicated as an important factor on restraining grain growth through estimating the driving force of normal grain growth and the resistance of precipitation particles of vanadium on grain growth.The influencing mechanism of vanadium dissolved in matrix on the grain growth during the controlled cooling process is discussed.展开更多
