Abstract

Abstract

A dynamic recrystallization kinetics model of vanadium microalloyed steel at different deformation temperatures and strain rates was established using the DIL805A/D dilatometers for experiments. The variation of ferrite structure in vanadium microalloyed steel with dynamic recrystallization grain size was studied through microstructure analysis and model comparison. The results indicate that the dynamic recrystallization grain size of austenite in vanadium microalloyed steel has a certain impact on the transformation of intragranular ferrite, and there is a parabolic relationship between the two issues. Both large and small grain sizes can cause excessive growth of grain boundary structures, which is not conducive to the nucleation of intragranular ferrite structures. When the austenite grain size is 40-50 μm, the nucleation ability of intragranular ferrite is the strongest, and the refinement effect of intragranular structure is significant.
