Properties of Low-Carbon As-Rolled Steel Bars for Machine and Structural Use
Abstract:
New type of as-rolled steel bar products has been developed. They are characterized by an excellent combination of strength, toughness and ductility. The present paper describes a systematic study on the effect of alloying element on the mechanical properties of controlled rolled bars. Trial production test results, the processing and performance properties obtained are also described. The HSLA bars introduced herein can meet the requirements both of manufacturers and users for the complete elimination of the quenching and tempering process conventionally applied on the selected automotive components.
