The effect of Nb addition on the precipitation and precipitate coarsening behavior was investigated in Ti and Ti + Nb steel weld HAZ. A dilatometer equipped with a He-quenching system was used to simulate the weld thermal cycle. Compared to $TiC_yN_{1-y}$ precipitate in a Ti containing steel, $Ti_xNb_{1-x}C_yN_{1-y}$ complex particle with addition of Nb is precipitated in a Ti + Nb containing steel. Meanwhile, precipitate coarsening occurred more easily in Ti + Nb steel, which may be because the high temperature stability of $Ti_xNb_{1-x}C_yN_{1-y}$ complex particle is deteriorated by the Nb addition.

Multistage deformation behavior of Nb-microalloyed steel and carbon steel was studied by torsion test with declining temperature T, constant pass strain $\varepsilon_i$, interrupt time $(t_i)$, and varying strain rate $(\.{\varepsilon})$. In the range of $1000^{\circ}C~790^{\circ}C$ and 4.00/sec~0.38/sec, the flow stress at each pass was correlated to the deformation variables. As the finished deformation temperatures are decreased to the range of $790^{\circ}C~900^{\circ}C$, Nb precipitates play an important role on the grain refinement of Nb-microalloyed steel. the flow stress of Nb-microalloyed steel was higher than the carbon steel's while the grain size of Nb-microalloyed steel was smaller than carbon steel below the temperature of $900^{\circ}C$.

고온 압축 시험을 이용하여 열간 단조용 비조질강의 고온 변형 거동을 온도, 변형률속도, 합금원소에 따라 조사하였다. 고온 압축 시험에서 얻은 유동 응력 곡선의 형태와 조직관찰로부터 고온 변형 기구는 동적 재결정임을 알 수 있었다. 최대응력에 이르는 변형률은 온도가 증가할수록 작아지고 변형률속도가 빠를수록 크게 나타났다. Nb-V-Mo강은 Nb-V강에 비하여 최대응력은 증가하였으나 동적 재결정은 빨라졌다. 1.2Mn-0.09Nb강은 1.0Mn-0.05Nb강에 비하여 최대응력은 증가하였으나 동적재결정은 지연되었다. C-Nb-V강은 C강에 비하여 최대응력이 증가하였으며 동적 재결정은 지연되었다. 열간변형에 대한 구성방정식은 멱수법칙의 형태를 가졌다. Zener-Hollomon 파라미터가 증가할수록 동적 재결정립은 미세해졌고, 동적 재결정립과 Zener-Hollomon 파라미터와의 관계는 멱수법칙으로 정량화할 수 있었다.

Nb and Ti were added to 316 stainless steel, and then heat-treatments and surface treatments were performed on the 316 stainless steel and the Nb- and Ti-added alloys. All samples indicated enhanced electrical conductivity after surface treatments, whereas they showed low electrical conductivity before surface treatments due to the existence of non-conductive passive film on the alloy surface. In particular, the Hb- and Ti-added alloys showed remarkable enhancement of electrical conductivity compared to the original alloy, 316 stainless steel. Surface characterization revealed that small carbide particles formed on the alloy surface after surface treatments, while the alloys indicated flat surface structure before surface treatments. $Cr_{23}C_6$ mainly formed on the 316 stainless steel, and NbC and TiC mainly formed on the Nb- and Ti-added alloys, respectively. We attribute the enhanced electrical conductivity after surface treatments to the formation of these carbide particles, possibly acting as a means of electro-conductive channel through the passive film. Furthermore, NbC and TiC are supposed to be more effective carbides than $Cr_{23}C_6$ as electro-conductive channels of stainless steel

Nb-containing austenitic stainless steel is widely used as exhaust frame and diffuser assembly in power plant. However, this steel is known to be difficult to produce by the continuous casting process due to the surface cracks. Therefore, the continuous casting technology was developed for the prevention of the surface cracks on CC slabs. Precipitates and the analysis of heat trasfer in a slab were investigated in order to find out the formation mechanism of surface cracks on cc slabs It was found that surface cracks are occurred due to the NbC precipitates, which are formed along the grain boundaries around $800^{\circ}C$. The secondary cooling pattern has been developed to produce the defect free CC slabs of Nb-containing austenitic stainless steel.

극저탄소 알루미늄 킬드강내에 합금원소로 첨가된 Al, Ti, Nb, B등은 열처리 공정중 질화물이나 탄화물로 석출되어 강의 재결정집합조직을 변화시킴으로써 강판재의 디입드로잉 특성에 결정적인 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 Ti및 Nb를 단독으로 또는 동시에 첨가한 데 이어, B, P, Si 및 Mn등을 추가로 첨가한 극저탄소 고강도 강판의 집삽조직에 미치는 질화물, 탄화물과 같은 미세 석출물의 영향을 TEM, SEM, 광학현미경분석에 의하여 조사하였다. Nb 및 Ti를 동시에 첨가한 강에서는 미세한 N$b_2$C 및 T$i_2$AIN가 주로 석출되는 반면, Nb를 단독으로 첨가한 강에서는 미세한 AIN 및 조대한 BN이 석출되고,Ti를 단독으로 첨가한 강에서는 비교적 조대한 T${i_4}{N_3}$및 조대한 ${N_10}{N_22}$/T$i_68$이 석출되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 이러한 탄질화물들의 석출에 의하여 세 강이 서로 다른 결정입도를 나타내는데, 결정입도는 Nb 및 Ti동시첨가강과 Nb단독첨가강이 서로 비슷하고, Ti단독첨가강이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다.

More and more applications or demands for machine parts etc are expected for AISI 440C (hereinafter referred to as "440C") Stainless Steel because of its characteristic features, i.e. high-strength as well as high-corrosion resistance. This research has enabled us to obtain sintered products with good quality even under a wide range of temperature by utilizing the pinning effect of NbC, improving the relevant sintering feature of 440C Stainless Steel in the MIM method.

AI킬드한 극저탄소강에 Ti, Nb등의탄화물 또는 질화물 형성원소를 첨가하면 우수한 디프드로잉특성과 내시효성을 나타내는 강판을 얻을 수 있다고 알려져 있으므로 본 연구에서는 Ti및 Nb를 단독 또는 동시에 첨가하거나 B를 추가로 첨가한 고강도 극저탄소 강판을 제조하여 각각의재결정 집합조직과 기계적 성질을 측정비교하여 보았다. 역극점도에 나타난 집합조직강도의 변화를 조사한 결과 어닐링처리에 의하여 (100)면 강도와 (111)면 강도의 변화가 가장 많이 나타난 것은 Nb첨가강이며, Nb와 Ti를 단독으로 첨가한 강과 Ti를 단독으로 첨가한 강은 변화정도가 비슷하였다.극점도를 비교하면,Nb와 Ti를 동시에 첨가한강, Nb를 단독으로 첨가한 강 그리고 Ti를 단독으로 첨가한강 모두 냉간 압연한 상태에서는{112}<110>집합조직이 발달하였으며 어닐링처리한 후에는 {111}<112>집합조직이 잘 발달하였다. 그러나 세 종류의 강간에 집합조직의 차이는 별로 없었다. 결정립도와 관계가 깊은 경도에서는 결정립도가 가장 작은 Nb 및 Ti동시첨가강에서 경도가 가장 높고, Nb단독첨가강, Ti단독첨가강의 순서로 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

As a research for developing fine-grained high strength low carbon steels, the effects of austenitization temperature and hot deformation on microstructure was investigated in 0.15 wt.% carbon steels with microalloying elements such as Nb and Ti. When the steels were reheated at $1250^{\circ}C$, Nb containing steel showed very coarse austenite grain size of $200{\mu}m$ whereas Nb-Ti steel did fine one of $70{\mu}m$ because Ti carbonitrides could suppress the austenite grain growth. In case of 50% reduction at $850^{\circ}C$, the austenite grains in the Nb steel partially recrystallized while those in the Nb-Ti steel fully recrystallized probably due to finer prior austenite grains.For the Nb-Ti steel, ferrite grain size was not sensitively changed with austenitization temperature and compression strain and, severe deformation of 80% reduction was not essentially necessary to refine ferrite grains to about $3{\mu}m$ which could be obtained through lighter deformation of 40% reduction.

Stainless steel is widely used in various industries due to its excellent anti-corrosion characteristics. However, if the stainless steel is exposed to high speed fluid flow and chloride ion in the marine environment, corrosion and cavitation damage occurred on the surface easily. Therefore, to prevent these problems, stabilzed stainless steel is applied to offshore and shipbuilding industries. In this study, stabilized stainless steel specimen was made by 19%Cr-9%Ni with different Nb contents (0.29%, 0.46% and 0.71%). And then, their cavitation characteristics were investigated. As a result, the characteristics of cavitation resistance of stainless steel could be improved by increasing Nb contents.
