Abstract:In order to find out the cause of surface cracks for the same batches slab, surface crack on micro-alloyed steel plate produced by direct hot charging process was investigated by means of metallographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrometer analysis and transmission electron microscopy, and compared with crack-free plate produced by cool charging process. The results show that the main factors of surface crack on micro-alloyed steel plate produced by direct hot charging process are the segregation of low melting point elements such as Cu, As in slab’s cooling or heating process. Compared with hot-rolled plates produced by hot charging, the grain size of cold charged rolled plate about 10μm in diameter, while the grain size of hot-rolled plates by hot charging are large and uneven. Precipitates of hot plate are between 15 -25nm in size, the crack source are more than the matrix and a large amount of fine Nb(CN) precipitate at the boundary of the austenite grains, which decreases the strength of the grain boundary sharply.
