New 700MPa hot rolled ultra-high strength steels were successfully developed by using Ti micro-alloying technology in CSP line. Experimental methods, such as OM, TEM and chemical phase analysis, were used to study the experimental steel. The microstructure is composed of quasi-polygonal ferrite grains, whose average grain size is about 4μm. Large number of nanometer TiC particles distribute along dislocations. The mass fraction of MX phase is 0.0793wt%, in which the particles smaller than 10nm account for 33.7%. The contribution of precipitation hardening resulting from nanometer particles is calculated as approximate 158MPa.
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.
