Abstract:The formation of nano/ultrafine grained ferrite in low carbon steels containing different amounts of niobium was investigated using thermomechanical treatment which consisted of annealing of 85% cold rolled martensite with different parameters. The specimens were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy and Vickers hardness test. A lamellar dislocation cell structure was formed during cold rolling. An increase in hardness was found during annealing with the addition of the Nb element. The mean… Show more
