  • Beschreibung: Abstract In this work, multipass torsion tests followed by coiling simulations under different conditions have been performed with a reference Nb (0.03 pct) and a high Ti (0.1 pct)–Nb-microalloyed (0.03 pct) steel. In the case of the high Ti steel, estimated yield strengths close to or over 700 MPa were obtained for some of the conditions researched. However, a very significant effect of previous austenite grain size and strain accumulation on precipitation strengthening has also been observed. As a result, depending on deformation sequence and final cooling conditions, the coiling simulation temperatures that lead to the highest mechanical strength varied from 600 °C to 500 °C. The effect of increasing strain accumulation was mainly related to higher phase transformation temperatures, which led to a lower driving force for precipitation and higher microalloying element diffusivity, resulting in the formation of less and coarser precipitates.
