Abstract
This study reports the development of a Ti- and Mo-bearing ferritic steel precipitation-strengthened by nanometer-sized carbides. The steel showed an ultimate tensile strength of 995 MPa, a tensile elongation of 20 pct, and a hole-expanding ratio of 44 pct. The precipitation of nanometer-sized carbides in this steel during isothermal transformation at 873 K, 898 K, and 973 K (600 °C, 625 °C, and 700 °C) for 60 minutes was investigated in detail. The contributions of various strengthening mechanisms were analyzed, and the maximum contribution from the nanometer-sized carbide precipitates was estimated to be about 430 MPa.
