Influence of Mn on Cementite Coarsening and Ferrite Grain Growth During Annealing of a Cold Rolled Medium Carbon Steel
To improve the formability of cold‐rolled medium carbon steels, the grain growth of ferrite with pinning of cementite particles during soft‐annealing was investigated through experiments and simulations in a hypoeutectoid Fe–0.29 mass%C–0.51 mass%Mn steel.Between the annealing times of 1.8 × 10 4 (5 h) and 3.6 × 10 5 s...
