A Review of Vanadium Microalloying in Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Products
Abstract:
An overview of the advantages of vanadium as a microalloy addition for hot rolled sheet steel products. Several microalloy systems are available to the sheet metal producer, including niobium, titanium and vanadium. Vanadium has generated renewed interest as a microalloy for sheet products with the advent of the new thin slab direct rolling mills, where processing limitations have highlighted some of vanadium’s unique advantages.
