Experience in Producing Vanadium Microalloyed Steels By Thin-Slab-Casting Steel Technology


Abstract:

Vanadium-nitrogen microalloying has proven to be highly compatible with the thin-slab casting and the direct-charging steelmaking process. Metallurgical features of vanadium and nitrogen are related to the unique process parameters associated with this process.

Keywords:

Thin slab, vanadium, nitrogen, solubility, precipitation, grain size, strain aging.
