The hot ductility of Ti-Nb microalloyed steel has been investigated to evaluate the sensitivity to surface crack formation during the continuous casting process. Tensile samples were subjected to different thermal treatments and were tested at deformation temperatures ranging from 650°C to 1000°C using a strain rate of 10-3s-1. It has been found, that the investigated steel evinced poor ductility over almost the whole testing temperature range characterized by marked grain boundary cracking, irrespective of which thermal cycle has been utilized or whether the samples have been melted or only reheated. Microstructural examinations and supplementary thermo-kinetic computer simulations revealed distinct Ti-Nb precipitation throughout the microstructure being responsible for the deteriorated materials hot ductility.

Low hot ductility of steel at the straightening stage of the continuous casting process is a problem found in steels containing microalloying and/or certain alloying additions. The thermal schedule undergone by the billet surface in the mill has a significant effect on the hot ductility. In this work, thermomechanical processing was employed to alleviate the problem of hot ductility in the Nb-microalloyed steel. Specimens were melted in situ and subjected to the billet surface thermal schedule in order to generate a microstructure similar to that present at the straightening stage of the continuous casting process. Some deformation schedules were incorporated with the thermal schedule at very high temperatures, specifically during solidification, within the d-ferrite region, and during the d®g transformation, and the hot ductility was subsequently evaluated at the end of the thermal schedule where the straightening operation is performed. After the thermal schedule alone, the steel exhibited a very low hot ductility at the straightening stage. It was found that deformation at very high temperatures prior to the straightening stage had a considerable effect on the hot ductility, either detrimental or beneficial, depending on the region in which the deformation has been executed. The mechanisms leading to loss and improvement of hot ductility are explained in this paper.
