Effect of hot rolled grain size on the precipitation kinetics of nitrides in low carbon Al-killed steel

Correlative evolution of microstructure, particle dissolution, hardness and strength of ultrafine grained AA6063 alloy during annealing

“…In addition, there are lots of investigations on the precipitation hardening and it contribution to strengthening of aluminium alloys [23,24]. However, to the knowledge of the authors, there is no study aiming at correlating the simultaneous effects of grain refinement, recrystallization and grain growth and dissolution or formation of precipitates on the evolution of mechanical properties of the alloy.…”

Characterization of the Microstructure and Precipitates Formed During the Thermomechanical Processing of a CrNiMoWMnV Ultrahigh‐Strength Steel

“…Precipitation kinetics is enhanced by thermomechanical processing through an increase in the diffusion of the solute atoms and an increase in the density of nucleation sites, i.e., dislocations and new grain boundaries or subgrain boundaries . For example, Mucsi studied the effect of grain size on the precipitation kinetics of hot‐rolled, Al‐killed, low‐carbon steel and concluded that the refinement of the grain size has a significant effect on the precipitation of nitrides, which probably formed on the grain boundaries and dislocations. In addition, Radis et al .…”
