Abstract

The recrystallization and precipitates of deformed austenite for three Ti-microalloyed low carbon steels with different amount of Zr and Ti in the temperature range of 950°C to 1050°C were investigated by means of multi-pass compression test to simulate the actual rolling situation, in order to acquire the optimum deformation temperature for the alloys. The results show that the increase of Ti content will retard the occurrence of the recrystallization of deformed austenite and the recrystallization grain growth in Ti-microalloyed steels, while the addition of Zr will also retard the occurrence of recrystallization of deformed austenite in Ti-microalloy steel, and inhibit the growth of recrystallization grains. Besides, the addition of Zr increases the number of precipitates in Ti-microalloyed steel, and improves the size uniformity of precipitated phase, so that the Ti-Zr microalloyed steel consists of a relatively uniform austenite microstructure. When the deformation temperature is 1000℃, the Ti-Zr microalloyed steel has the finest uniform austenite microstructure.

Key words: metallic materials Ti microalloyed steel multi-pass recrystallization precipitates
