Effect of Grain Size and Meso-Texture on the Impact Toughness of Ti-Microalloyed Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Charpy impact testing (over the transition temperature rage) on different samples of a Ti-microalloyed steel, having the same average-TiN particle size but different average-ferrite grain sizes, showed that in spite of the presence of large TiN cuboides, ferrite grain refinement can significantly improve the impact toughness, provided the meso-texture (i.e. the intensity of low-angle boundaries) and matrix strength can be restricted to low values.
