Np. Lyakishev et al., PHYSICOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF MICROALLOYING OF THE LOW-PEARLITE STEELS WITH HIGH-STRENGTH AND HIGH COLD RESISTANCE FOR METALWORKS, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (3), 1995, pp. 34-42
The effect of the alloying with carbonitride-forming elements (Ti, V,
Al, and N) on structure, mechanical properties, and cold resistance of
low-carbon steel St3sp and low-alloy steel 09G2S after high-temperatu
re controlled rolling was studied in this work. The temperature and co
ncentration ranges of the precipitation of fine particles Ti(C,N), V(C
,N), and AlN in austenite of these steels were determined. Efficiency
of the precipitates for the formation of fine-grained structure in the
hot-rolled billets was estimated. Reasonable basic chemical compositi
ons and conditions of microalloying were determined for cold-strength
low-pearlite steels with enhanced (YS = 345 - 375 MPa) and high (YS =
390 - 440 MPa) strength for weldable metalworks.
