Study on the Mechanism of Strengthening and Toughening Effect
of Titanium Addition on HSLA Steel
مطالعهی مکانیزم استحکامبخشی و اثر چقرمهسازی افزودن تیتانیم روی فولاد HSLA
ABSTRACT
Based on the determination of load variation against deflection by means of Instrumented Charpy Impact testing, the impact energy distribution of the High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel containing Nb, Ni and Ti for pressure vessels at low temperature has been quantitatively studied. The total impact energy Et could be divided into two parts, Ei and Ep. Ei is related to the base strength of the material in terms of the grain size and alloy addition, which is also found to be less influenced by the holding time of normalization process at 910℃. Whereas, Ep of Ni-Nb-Ti HSLA steel is strongly linked to the period of holding time. Thermodynamic kinetic investigation was carried out to study the strengthening mechanism with metallurgical microstructure analysis.
Effect of vanadium and titanium modification on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of a microalloyed HSLA steel
اثر بهبود یکنوع فولاد میکروآلیاژی HSLA با وانادیم و تیتانیم بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی آن
ABSTRACT
Microalloyed high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels are essentially low carbon low-alloy steels that contain small additions (0.001–0.1wt.%) of alloying elements such as Nb, V, or Ti. These steels exhibit an outstanding combination of high strength, resistance to brittle fracture and good weldability, particularly if the carbon content is kept below ∼0.1wt.% . Several categories of HSLA steels have been developed catering to the needs of specific applications, such as the construction of large ships, oil and gas transmission lines, and offshore oil drilling platforms.
