Optimisation of the influence of boron on the properties of steel

Objective

The aim of the project is to study the mechanism by which boron additions influence the development of austenitic and ferritic grain structures in heat treatable and plain C-Mn steels (0.005-0.2%C) during and following thermal and mechanical processing. In addition the effect of various micro-alloying elements and impurities on the boron hardenability factor by means of an innovative analytical and theoretical approach will be examined. Based on this research a model for the prediction of the shape of the Jominy profile of low alloyed boron steels on basis of the steel chemistry will be developed with the aim of replacing the manual Jominy end-quench test. Subsequent to cold working operation, the effect of stoichiometric and super-stoichiometric unprotected boron additions on the work hardening rate and static strain ageing of low carbon steels will be quantified.
