Precipitation Behavior and Strengthening–Toughening Mechanism of Nb Micro-Alloyed Direct-Quenched and Tempered 1000 MPa Grade High-Strength Hydropower Steel

Faced with the rapid development of large-scale pumped-storage power stations, the trade-off between the strength and toughness of hydropower steels in extreme environments has been limiting their application. The effects of Nb micro-alloying and direct quenching and tempering processes on the stren...
