Abstract  

The effect of finish rolling temperature on microstructure, precipitates, hardness of Ti-V-Mo microalloyed steel was investigated by means of Gleeble3800 thermal-mechanical simulator, OM, SEM, TEM and Vickers-hardness tester. The results show that the microstructures of Ti-V-Mo microalloyed steel, which was finish-rolled at different temperatures, consist of all polygonal ferrite, and the finish rolling temperature has a major impact on the precipitates and hardness. When the finish rolling temperature decreases from 1000oC to 800oC, the hardness increases from 400 HV to 427 HV. Meanwhile, the average grain size of ferrite in Ti-V-Mo microalloyed steel decreases gradually from 3.44 μm to 3.05 μm and the amount of (Ti, V, Mo)C particles increase monotonously, while their mean size reduces from 8.38 nm to 6.25 nm. The main factors responsible to the enhancement of hardness are the refinement of average ferrite grain size as well as the increasing amount and further refinement of nano-sized (Ti, V, Mo)C particles as the finish rolling temperature decreases. The nucleation rate of (Ti, V, Mo)C carbides in austenite decreased when the finish rolling temperature below 980oC, while more tiny particles precipitated from ferrite matrix, which promotes the increase of hardness.
