Effect of V and C on the Hot Flow Behavior of V Microalloyed Steels
Abstract:
The compressive deformation behaviors of a C-Mn steel (0.36C-1.42Mn) and two V microalloyed steels (0.37C-1.46Mn-0.089V and 0.055C-1.45Mn-0.080V) were investigated at the temperatures from 900 °C to 1100 °C and strain rates from 0.005 s−1 to 10 s−1 on Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. It was found that V addition in steels can effectively increase the flow stress, and C addition in V microalloyed steels generates a softening effect at lower strain rates, whilst at higher strain rates C addition leads to higher flow stress. The flow stress constitutive equations were developed, results showed that V has little effect on Q value, while C addition has the trend to reduce the Q value. Characteristic points of flow curves were analyzed. It showed that V addition can delay or promote the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization as the deformation conditions changed, while C addition can promote the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization.
