Abstract: Niobium microalloying technology has been developed in China for more than 40 years, and its basic research and industrial application have been focused on the field of plate-based low-carbon steel. The medium and high carbon steel based on long material has the characteristics of high carbon content, long and complex process, high foundation strength, special and diverse performance requirements, etc. It is difficult for niobium to play an important role in the medium and high carbon steel. On the one hand, the carbon content of medium and high carbon steel has an effect on the solution ability of niobium, but the research results at home and abroad are quite different, and some conclusions are not consistent with the traditional understanding and most of the experimental results. Therefore, there is a controversy about the solution ability of niobium in medium and high carbon steel, and more empirical research is still needed to analyze. This leads to a dispute about how much niobium is economically effective in medium and high carbon steels. On the other hand, the existence of niobium in medium and high carbon steel, especially the characterization of nano precipitates, has been difficult. How to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the large-scale niobium containing second phase particles with inhomogeneous distribution remains to be further studied. The research status and development trend of microalloying technology at China and the other part of the word, as well as the characteristics of medium and high carbon steel are summarized. The opportunity and challenge of niobium microalloying technology in medium and high carbon steel are reviewed. It mainly includes the solution ability of niobium, the main effects and application in direct-cooled forging steel, spring steel, hard wire and bearing steel, and the main problems. It is clearly pointed out that the traditional thinking must abandon, strengthen the basic research, and study the common and individual problems of niobium in medium and high carbon steel. In particular, new technologies are used to characterize the state of niobium at multiple scales. So as to promote the application of niobium microalloying technology in medium and high carbon steel.
