Microstructure and Mechanical Behaviour of Hot Rolled V- Microalloy Steel

Abstract

In this study, microstructure of still air cooled hot rolled V-microalloy steel was under observation, micrograph shows the refine primary structure of ferrite and pearlite. SEM images show the nucleation of /second phase particles. Tensile test carried out on Instron testing machine. Test shows improved yield strength without any significant decrement in ductility of alloy. The attempts were made to study Microstructure and mechanical behaviour of hot rolled V- microalloy steel subjected to the pre chosen thermo mechanical treatment schedule. Thermo mechanical simulation was carried out to impose the prechosen deformation on to steel and then the microstructure and mechanical properties were monitored by elaborate microscopic studies.
