HSLA steels have been widely used in automotive industry to reduce fuel consumption due to its high strength and good weldability. These properties are achieved by nano-size precipitates not only because these carbides retard recrystallization, leading to smaller grain sizes, but they also increase strength. Few papers reported precipitation behavior in cold rolled HSLA steels. Moreover, reducing the amount of scarce and expensive elements in HSLA steels without too much sacrificing the strength of the steel is an important development which requires more research. Therefore, the aim of the project is to systematically understand precipitate behavior in cold rolled HSLA steels with reduced amounts of scarce elements. With SANS we want to measure total precipitate volume fraction and precipitate size distribution for a large series of systematically annealed samples.
