Abstract

A thermodynamic model of the microalloy precipitation elements in austenite region for Fe-C-N-Al-Ti-Nb steel has been established. Through calculating the action of the microalloying element in austenite, it can be found that carbon in steel accelerates the precipitation of Nb greatly, Nb in solution decreases quickly and the precipitation of Nb increases quickly with the increase of carbon. When the C in steel is low, the main constituent of the precipitation is TiN in high temperature, and TiN guadually turns to be NbC with the decrease of tempertature. When the carbon in steel is high,the main constituent in the precipitation is NbC even though the temperature is higher. The nitrogen in steel has a slight effect on NbN precipitation.
