Ferrite recrystallisation and characteristics of non-recrystallised ferrite grains in Ti added low carbon steels

Abstract The progress of ferrite recrystallisation in low carbon steel was slower than in ultralow carbon steel. The hardness of the non-recrystallised ferrite grains gradually decreased with increasing annealing time in ultralow carbon steel, but gradually increased with increasing annealing time in low carbon steel. The amount of Ti containing precipitates increased slightly during annealing in ultralow carbon steel, but increased remarkably with increasing annealing time in low carbon steel. These results suggest that the softening of non-recrystallised ferrite grains during annealing in ultralow carbon steel may reflect the progress of recovery and the Ostwald ripening of Ti containing precipitates formed during annealing. In contrast, the hardening of non-recrystallised ferrite grains in low carbon steel may be due to the precipitation hardening of TiC formed during annealing.
