Hot Deformation Studies of a Low Carbon Steel Containing V
Abstract:
Low alloyed steels produced by continuous casting are thermomechanically treated to achieve final high mechanical properties, meaning a good combination of strength and toughness. The hot deformation mechanisms of a micro-alloyed steel containing up to 0.1wt% of V is studied by means of hot compression tests using a Gleeble® 3800 device. Austenitization of samples is carried out at 1150°C during 2 minutes followed by cooling to the deformation temperature at 1Ks-1 in the range of 750 – 1150°C. The studied strain rate range is from 0.01 to 80 s-1 and the total true strain achieved is of 0.7. In situ water quenching is applied after the deformation to freeze the microstructure and avoid any post dynamic effect. The Ar3 temperature is determined by dilatometry experiments to be 725°C for the used cooling rate. The stress values obtained from the compression tests are evaluated at different strains to determine the strain rate sensitivity and flow instability maps and thus, to predict the formability of the material in the range of studied deformation parameters. These maps are correlated to the microstructure at specific deformation parameters.
