Abstract In order to obtain air-hardening steel with good cold formability, the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of cold rolled LH800 steel during the batch annealing were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, electron back scatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and other technical means. The results showed that the ferrite + carbide structure was obtained by annealing between 600 ℃ and 700 ℃, the tensile curve had an obvious yield plateau, and the length of the yield plateau decreased with annealing temperature increasing. As the annealing temperature increased, the nanoscale carbides inside the ferrite grain gradually decreased, the coarse carbides at the grain boundary gradually increased, the volume fraction of low-angle grain boundaries gradually decreased, and the kernel average misorientation (KAM) value gradually decreased. When the annealing temperature exceeded 700 ℃, the microstructure was ferrite + martensite + carbide, and no yield plateau appeaed in the tensile curve. As the annealing temperature continued to increase, the volume fraction of martensite gradually increased, as did the KAM value. The mechanical property analysis showed that, after annealing at 700 ℃ for 4 h, air-hardening steel had the lowest yield strength and tensile strength, the highest elongation, and the best cold-forming performance. Based on the evolution of the microstructure and the nanoscale carbides of cold-rolled LH800 steel during the annealing process, this work revealed the essence of the yield-plateau phenomenon of LH800 steel and obtained its key process parameters of best cold-forming-performance.
