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%).

The effects of Nb and V on the anisotropy and textures featuring the hot rolled low carbon microalloyed steels produced by A.S.T. (Arvedi Steel Technology) have been studied as a function of the final coiling temperatute Tcoiling. Mechanical properties and r-values for twelve steels have been determined through tensile tests performed on three main different directions: 0°, 45°, 90° to the rolling one. The samples have been analysed by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction) to identify the textures developed during the process. The relations among the chemical composition of the steels (i.e. C, N, Nb, V contents), the mechanical properties, the temperature during the coiling operations, the textures and the formability properties have been pointed out.
