Resumo
Niobium-microalloying technology has been increasingly applied in a wide range of steel applications over the past half-century, to increase strength, control microstructure, and enhance different application-specific properties. To achieve desired performance levels, thermomechanically processed microalloyed steels are widely supplied by the steel industry for high volume applications in hot-rolled plate, sheet and structural steels. However, in steel long products and forgings, the final properties are often generated by downstream users, after heat-treatment, surface hardening, forging or wire drawing This presentation highlights advancements associated with Nb-microalloying employed either individually or sometimes in combination with other elements, to enhance microstructures and properties developed during thermomechanical and/or downstream processing. Selected examples include the use of Nb as a solute or in precipitates for austenite grain size control in carburizing, and more recently for induction hardening, as well as recent work using Nb in high-carbon drawn pearlitic wire.
