Objective
This project will analyze titanium microalloying procedures in the electric arc furnace and near-net shape casting processing routes by means of a thorough documentation of the properties of steels characterized among others by their defined nitrogen and titanium contents (up to 0.0080% and 0.050% respectively). Base metal and welded specimens will be tested and their microstructure documented. Torsion, plane strain compression and laboratory rolling techniques will be applied to analyze recrystallization. Welding will be simulated by the Gleeble technique or implant method to produce synthetic or real heat affected microstructure.
