In the 61 years that niobium has been used in commercial steels, it has proven to be beneficial via several properties, such as strength and toughness. Over this time, numerous studies have been performed and papers published showing that both the strength and toughness can be improved with higher Nb additions. Earlier studies have verified this trend for steels containing up to about 0.04 wt.% Nb. Basic studies have shown that the addition of Nb increases the recrystallization-stop temperature, T5% or Tnr. These same studies have shown that with up to about 0.05 wt.% of Nb, the T5% temperature increases in the range of finish rolling, which is the basis of controlled rolling. These studies also have shown that at very high Nb levels, exceeding approximately 0.06 wt.% Nb, the recrystallization-stop temperature or T5% can increase into the temperature range of rough rolling, and this could result in insufficient grain refinement and recrystallization during rough rolling. However, the question remains as to how much Nb can be added before the detriments outweigh the benefits. While the benefits are easily observed and discussed, the detriments are not. These detriments at high Nb levels include cost, undissolved Nb particles, weldability issues, higher mill loads and roll wear and the lessening of grain refinement that might otherwise occur during plate rough rolling. This loss of grain refinement is important, since coarse grained microstructures often result in failure in the drop weight tear testing of the plate and pipe. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the practical limits of Nb microalloying in controlled rolled low carbon linepipe steels of gauges ranging from 12 to 25 mm in thickness.

A kind of 1000MPa low carbon bainitic steel belonged to the Fe-Cu-Nb series was hot rolled and aged, the influence of aging temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel were investigated by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that the microstructure of the low carbon bainitic steel consisted of lath-shaped bainite(LB), granular bainite(GB) and quasi-polygonal ferrite(QF), and the proportion of each kind of microstructure changed with the aging temperatures. The strength of steel with the increase of aging temperature first increased, then decreased, Aging temperatures had distinct effect on yield strength of the tested steel, and less effect on the ultimate tensile strength, we can get the best comprehensive properties yield strength 1011.87 MPa and elongation rate 16.38% of good tough match aged at 450°C. Through analysis it is concluded that the strength of the tested steels aged at 450°C reaches the maximum value, which is attributed to the precipitation of a large amount of fine ε-Cu particles(5~10nm) and a small number of(Nb,Ti)(C,N) precipitates.
