Hot Rolling of FeSi Steels - Effects by Hot Rolling in the Two Phase Region

摘要

Finish rolling in the two-phase-region may offer new possibilities for improving the properties of the FeSi steels with phase transformation. Therefore a deeper understanding of the effects by hot rolling in the two phase region or mixed rolling: multistep hot rolling in the two phase region and in the ferrite region on the evolution of the microstructure is desirable. In this paper we will present the results of our experimental studies on the effect of hot rolling in the intercritical state on the hardening and softening in the ferrite state. It will be demonstrated that depending on the process conditions at hot rolling the austenite ferrite transformation affects the stress strain behaviour in the ferrite state at multistep hot rolling remarkable.
