Abstract

Steel grade 14MoV6-3 is a low-carbon microalloyed steel with addition of chromium and molybdenum. This medium-strength steel exhibits a ferritic-bainitic microstructure after the heat treatment. This grade is designed mainly for power industry applications, withstanding operating temperatures up to 580 °C; in Železiarne Podbrezová, this particular grade is used for production of hot rolled seamless boiler tubes. In this paper we present the basic chemical concept of 14MoV6-3 steel along with its mechanical properties after the heat treatment. Further, analysis of the final microstructure, carbide phases and precipitation of vanadium is being presented as well. For this purpose, the yield stress theory has been proposed along with predictive nomograms for selected ferritic-bainitic phases. According to the results of DTA analyses, necessary conditions for heat treatment after rolling have been proposed. Finally, CCT diagrams for required ferritic-bainitic structure are presented as well.
