This work has focused on the study of hot working behavior of Ti-Nb microalloyed steels with high Ti contents (> 0.05%). The role of Nb during the hot deformation of low carbon steels is well known: it mainly retards austenite recrystallization, leading to pancaked austenite microstructures before phase transformation and to refined room temperature microstructures. However, to design rolling schedules that result in properly conditioned austenite microstructures, it is necessary to develop models that take into account the effect of high Ti concentrations on the microstructural evolution of austenite. To that end, in this work torsion tests were performed to investigate the microstructural evolution during hot deformation of steels microalloyed with 0.03% Nb and different high Ti concentrations (0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%). It was observed that the 0.1% and 0.15% Ti additions resulted in retarded softening kinetics at all the temperatures. This retardation can be mainly attributed to the solute drag effect exerted by Ti in solid solution. The precipitation state of the steels after reheating and after deformation was characterized and the applicability of existing microstructural evolution models was also evaluated. Determined recrystallization kinetics and recrystallized grain sizes reasonably agree with those predicted by equations previously developed for Nb-Ti microalloyed steels with lower Ti concentrations (<0.05%).

In this work, three Zr microalloyed steels with different levels of Zr were compared with plain C-Mn, Nb and Nb-Ti steels. Austenitic grain size was compared as a function of temperature for these steels. A qualitative assessment of the potential of Zr to delay austenite recrystallization, was also undertaken. Of course, the actual use of Zr depends on many considerations: cost, availability and behavior during steel refining among others but this preliminary assessment was encouraging. It showed that the addition of Zr was able to prevent grain growth at typical reheating temperatures, around 1200oC. Also, Zr was able to delay austenite recrystallization.

Through the thermal simulation test, the curves of austenite recrystallization kinetics is recorded, the influence of the parameters including deformation temperature, strain and strain rate on the austenite recrystallization fraction of Ti microalloyed steels is studied, the recrystallization kinetics equation is calculated, and the austenite recrystallization model of the test steel is obtained. The results improve that Ti inhibits both the dynamic and static austenite recrystallization in high Ti microalloyed steels.
