Optimization of Niobium Content in Direct Quenched High-Strength Steels

This paper focuses on understanding the effect of niobium content on the phase transformation behavior and resultant mechanical properties of thermomechanically rolled and direct-quenched low carbon steels containing 0.08 wt.% carbon. Investigated steels contained three different levels of niobium:...
