Vanadium Dispersion Strengthening of Low-Carbon Pipe Steels

详细

The research results of the nitrogen and vanadium influence on the microstructure, fine structure formation and mechanical properties of low-carbon steel pipe are considered. It is shown that it is possible to obtain cold-resistant mill products with strength classes from K48 to K60 with high (26–29%) percentage of elongation by dispersion hardening due to the precipitation of vanadium particles together with hardening of a manganese solid solution in the conditions of the Vyksa Metallurgical Plant casting and rolling complex.
