Effect of Microalloying Elements on Mechanical Properties in the High Strength Low Alloy Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of microalloying elements in Ti-Nb-V containing high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel has been investigated in the present study. The addition of low alloying elements (such as Ti, Nb and V) and distinct heating treatment processes has been used to improve the mechanical properties of HSLA steel. The effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of normalizing treatment (at 950°C) of as forged steel has been investigated. The microstructural characterization of microalloyed HSLA steel is carried out by using different techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) etc. The hardness, tensile testing and Charpy V notch impact tests are performed to study the mechanical behaviour of the alloy. It has been concluded that the precipitation strengthening mechanism for the improvement of impact toughness due to secondary precipitates such as TiN, Ti(C, N), VN etc.
