Large number of oxide dispersive precipitates have been observed in the ferrite matrix of the steel strips. Dimension of them is about 10~20 nm. Electron diffraction study showed that the structure of these precipitates consists with cubic system spinel structure. Their lattice parameter is about 0.83 nm. The results implied that they should be complex oxides of Fe, Al et al. Small sulfide particles with 100-300 nm in size have also been observed. Remarkable strengthening and grain refinement effects can be obtained by the precipitations. The oxygen and sulfur in steels could play beneficial role under certain conditions.展开更多

The value of each strengthening mechanism andits contribution percentage to yield strength were achieved. The results show that refinementstrengthening is the predominant strengthening mode; precipitation strengthening and dislocationstrengthening are second to it, their contributions to yield strength are almost equal.展开更多

The result showed that themicrostructures were very fine after six passes rolling deformation. The effect of the first standreduction on microstructure refinement was very distinct. During the rolling process, with theincrease of the accumulated strain, the microstructures would further refine, and the density ofdislocation would increase at the same time. In continuous casting thin slabs and each finishingstand, lots of observed precipitates were mainly A1_2O_3 and MnS along the grain boundaries or ingrains, which played an important role in the mechanical properties of the hot strips of low carbonsteel produced by CSP (compact strip production) technology.展开更多
