Abstract

The hot ductility of Ti-Nb microalloyed steel has been investigated to evaluate the sensitivity to surface crack formation during the continuous casting process. Tensile samples were subjected to different thermal treatments and were tested at deformation temperatures ranging from 650°C to 1000°C using a strain rate of 10-3s-1. It has been found, that the investigated steel evinced poor ductility over almost the whole testing temperature range characterized by marked grain boundary cracking, irrespective of which thermal cycle has been utilized or whether the samples have been melted or only reheated. Microstructural examinations and supplementary thermo-kinetic computer simulations revealed distinct Ti-Nb precipitation throughout the microstructure being responsible for the deteriorated materials hot ductility.
