The effects of over aging (OA) and vanadium on microstructure and properties of cold-rolled low-carbon Si-Mn vanadium-bearing and traditional dual-phase steel sheets are studied. The results show that the microstructure and mechanical properties of DP steels are greatly affected by over-ageing temperature. When OA below 250℃, the elongation rate increases sharply whiles both the yield strength and tensile strength decrease slightly, this is favorable to the increase of all over mechanical properties. After OA above 300℃, elongation does not increase much, but the yield strength increases and tensile strength decreases, which deteriorate the mechanical properties of the steel. Finally, the results also show that both the hardenability and the tempering stability of steel can be significantly improved by vanadium micro-alloying.

A new type of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel with not only high strength and high ductility but also superior welding and galvanizing properties was designed and developed recently. Low carbon and low silicon content were preliminarily selected with the aim of meeting the requirements of superior quality in both welding and galvanizing. Phosphorus was chosen as one of the alloying elements, because it could reduce carbon activity in cementite and increase the stability of austenite. In addition, the possibility of phosphorus segregating at grain boundary was also discussed by thermodynamics as well as kinetics. Phase diagram was estimated at high temperature and the composition of the steel was then selected in the hyperperitectic range to avoid problems, which might occur in sheet steel continuous casting. Phase diagram in the intercritical temperature was estimated for the steel to obtain the starting temperature of fast cooling. For understanding the minimum rate of fast cooling, pearlite growth kinetics was calculated with selfdeveloped diffusion coefficients of elements in grain boundary. Overaging temperature was determined through the calculation of T0 temperature by both equilibrium and paraequilibrium assumptions, which was different from the current determination, which is only based on an equilibrium estimation.

Abstract： Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of newly designed 01C-6Mn-05Si-1Al TRIP-aided steels under different annealing conditions and the effects of matrix microstructure before intercritical annealing on the final microstructure were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), dilatometric simulation, optical microstructure (OM) and tensile testing in this work. The experimental results indicate that the TRIP steel with Mn of 6% could form a considerable amount of retained austenite with good TRIP effect after a simple intercritical annealing treatment, and the matrix microstructure before intercritical annealing treatment can greatly affect the final microstructure. The original microstructure of the ferritic matrix steel was eliminated, while annealed martensite was remained from the martensite matrix steel under the same intercritical annealing conditions.

Specimens of two different kinds of bake hardening steels (BH-Mn and BH-P) were prepared and treated with different annealing processes (water quenching and overaging). A novel technique of three dimensional atom probe was used to investigate solute distributions in these steels. The results indicate that C concentration decreases, whereas V increases during overaging in both bake hardening steels. The conclusion that no vanadium carbides precipitate during the overaging is therefore originally obtained by microanalysis in bake hardening steels. Moreover, bake hardening values of all the specimens were tested by tensile experiments with 2% pre-deformation. However, those of overaged specimens were further measured with higher levels of pre-deformation because no bake hardening phenomenon was present at 2% pre-deformation. As the pre-deformation increases from 2% to 6% and 8%, both overaged steels show bake hardening values, and the value data are almost the same.

Thermal decomposition of retained austenite in TRIP steel was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The decomposition curve was abnormal, and the decomposition temperature and the activation energy were measured by the Kissinger method, which were all higher than those in quenched steel. The thermal decomposition data of samples soaked in liquid nitrogen after TRIP treatment were all similar to those without additional low temperature treatment. It indicated that there is a high thermal stability in retained austenite of the TRIP steel at low temperature, which was also proved by XRD analysis.
