Microalloyed Steels for Structural Applications
Abstract:
High strength low alloy steels are widely used in the construction of buildings, bridges and pipelines, as well as in general engineering. This article considers the functions of the microalloying elements vanadium, niobium, titanium and aluminium in HSLA steels, and how they influence microstructure and properties. The author describes which alloy additions are appropriate for the control of strength and toughness in reinforcing bars, plates, rolled sections, sheet and pipeline steels.
