It have been studied the cold rolling effects on the microstructure of samples prepared from Al-killed low carbon steel sheets with high coiling temperatures. The microstructure of the hot rolled steels sheet is formed from ferrite and large carbides when the coiling temperature is high. The cold rolling affects the steel mechanical and electrochemical properties due to microstructural changes. We have studied the microstructure by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Low angles grain boundaries and the texture of samples were studied by EBSD method.
During our investigation lath martensite was produced in low carbon steels by austenitization at 1200 °C/20 min, and the cooling of samples in ice water. The samples were tempered at a range of temperatures. The tempering effects on microstructure and on mechanical proprieties were investigated. Some samples with lath martensite microstructure were cold rolled and heat treated at different temperatures. Recrystallization was observed after heat treatment at 600-700 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
