Purpose: The aim of the paper is to investigate the influence of plastic deformation and cooling conditions on a structure and a shape of CCT-diagrams of new-developed Nb-Ti-V microalloyed steel. Design/methodology/approach: The diagrams of undeformed and plastically-deformed supercooled austenite transformations for Nb-Ti-V microalloyed steel were determined. A part of the specimens were austenitized at a temperature of 885°C and next cooled to ambient temperature with a various rate from 234°C/s to 1°C/min. To investigate the influence of plastic deformation on a shape of CCT (Continuous Cooling Transformations) diagrams, another part of the specimens were 50% deformed at 885°C or 1100°C and cooled to ambient temperature with a rate from 95°C/s to 1°C/min. The DIL 805A/D dilatometer, with a LVDT-type measuring head, was used to carry out dilatometric test. Findings: Performed dilatometric research revealed that the steel is characterized with A_c3=843°C, A_c1=707°C and a relatively low M_s temperature equal 370°C. Plastic deformation of steel at the temperature of 885°C prior to the start of phase transformations results in distinct acceleration of pearlitic transformation and slight translation of bainitic transformation towards shorter times. Research limitations/implications: Elaborated curves of supercooled austenite transformations of studied steel fully predispose it to production of forgings quenched directly from forging finish temperature and successively subjected to high temperature tempering. Practical implications: The obtained CCT diagrams of supercooled plastically-deformed austenite transformations can be useful in determination of cooling condition of the thermo-mechanical processing for high strength forged machine parts obtained from microalloyed steels. Originality/value: The diagrams of the plastically-deformed supercooled austenite for a new-developed microalloyed steel were obtained.
