Steel name: API X80
Diagram No.: 7624
Type of diagram: CCT
Chemical composition in weight %: 0.03% C, 0.23% Si, 1.62% Mn, 0.01% P, 0.002% S, 0.05% Nb, plus V, Ti, Mo, Cu, Ni, Pcm=C+Si/30+(Mn+Cu+Cr)/20+Ni/60+Mo/15+V/10+5B
Steel group: High strength steels
Note: the measured results of the transformation behavior of Steel B by the CCT diagram are shown in Fig. As can be seen in the microstructure obtained at the cooling rate of 10°C/s, bainitic ferrite formed when a high cooling rate was used, and the aimed single phase microstructure was obtained. The transformation start temperature in this case is around 600°C, and the critical cooling rate which was the lower limit for obtaining a single phase microstructure was approximately 10°C/s. The pearlite transformation starts at 600°C or higher incase cooling rate was lower than the critical cooling rate. As an example of microstructures that was transformed at a comparatively high temperature, namely, polygonal ferrite and pearlite, Fig. 3 also shows the microstructure that formed at the cooling rate of 5°C/s. It is necessary to avoid the formation of this microstructure, as it is a coarse microstructure in comparison with bainitic ferrite and is a factor in reduced toughness. The critical cooling rate for formation of bainitic ferrite in Steel B is on a level at which control is sufficiently possible when manufacturing X80 grade hot coils. This experiment showed the possibility of obtaining the bainitic ferrite single phase microstructure by controlling the steel composition and cooling rate.
