Abstract

The finishing rolling of microalloyed steels was simulated by double-deformation plane strain compression testing of both model and conventional steels microalloyed with Nb. The flow behavior following interpass delay times of 1-100s was related to the deformed microstructure, the deformation substructure and the strain-induced precipitation. Fe-30wt%Ni is clearly a good model alloy for conventional microalloyed steels, as similar results are observed for both materials. In addition, the location of fine strain-induced precipitates in relation to the deformation substructure can be determined directly using transmission electron microscopy.
