Modelling of softening in niobium-HSLA steels during hot rolling

International Symposium on Niobium Microalloyed Sheet Steel for Automotive Application

2006
Kranendonk, W
Niobium HSLA steels are more difficult to hot roll with consistent mechanical properties than plain carbon steels. In this paper the causes of this different behavior are explained and illustrated with a recently developed physical model. Advantages, restrictions, applications and future developments of this model are discussed. (AU)

Development of High Chromium Ferritic Steels Strengthened by Intermetallic Phases
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, The Charles Hatchett Award is a prestigious recognition that aims to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. The award is sponsored by CBMM | Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts worldwide, and a panel of international experts selects the winning paper. The 2015 Charles Hatchett Award winners’ presentation introduces the worldwide energy demand and steam oxidation resistance and creep strength in stainless steels. The main research goal of this paper is to explore the development of high chromium ferritic steels strengthened by intermetallic phases and the role of niobium in thermomechanical treatment, microstructure and mechanical properties, in high-performance ferritic steels.

Guidance on making ferroniobium additions during ladle steelmaking
Niobium has an established niche in many types of steel products because of its unique ability to improve strength, toughness and weldability. About 15 percent of ferroniobium (FeNb) ends up in stainless steel production, which is an important growth sector, but the vast majority is currently consumed in the production of what we call high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, often also referred to as microalloyed steels.
