The precipitation behavior of titanium treated by different processes and its effect on microstructure and mechanical properties has been investigated in low carbon medium manganese steel. It is found that the formed precipitates during both tempering and reheating-quenching processes are TiCs. The size of them mainly ranges from 1 to 18 nm and 1 to 36 nm, respectively. And tempering treatment especially promotes a peak of TiC in diameter from to 5 nm, but it also boosts parts of precipitates nucleating along the grain boundaries. The precipitation of TiC is useful for the refinement of austenite grains and this effect depends on the reheating temperature. The mean grain size can be refined to 7.8 mu m when the reheating temperature is 900 degrees C. Furthermore, it is found that the mechanical properties are determined by the reheating-quenching process. However, the tempering has nearly no influence on it when the sample is treated by the same reheating temperature. It is concluded that dislocation strengthening mechanism induced by TiC precipitation is the dominant factor for the changes of both strength and toughness. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
