Untempered Steel
Non-quenched and tempered steel is based on medium carbon manganese steel with vanadium, titanium, niobium microalloying elements, so that it is dissolved in austenite during heating, due to the solidification of vanadium, titanium, and niobium in austenite The solubility decreases with cooling. The microalloying elements vanadium, titanium, and niobium will be precipitated in the first precipitated ferrite and pearlite in the form of fine carbides and nitrides. These precipitates maintain a coherent relationship with the parent phase to strengthen the steel. The mechanical properties of this type of steel in the hot-rolled state, forged state or normalized state are equal to or close to that of modulated steel, which not only shortens the production cycle, but also saves energy.
