Properties, Microstructures and Precipitate Morphology of Hot-rolled Interstitial-Free (IF) Steel Sheets

In order to simplify production process and to decrease production cost of thicker cold-rolled IFsteel sheets for deep drawing applications, a new hot-rolled IF steel sheet is developed through hot-rolling in α region. In this paper, properties, microstructures and precipitate morphology of hot-rolled IF steel sheets are described..
