Purpose: The aim of the paper is to analyse the effect of thermomechanical process with different cooling paths on microstructure and mechanical properties of low-carbon structural steel. Design/methodology/approach: The steel used for the investigation was subjected to two step deformation using a Gleeble 3800 simulator and then held at designed temperatures from 650ºC to 800ºC for different times. A final step included water cooling to room temperature to freeze the microstructure. Typical microscopic studies have been done. The analysis of the volume fraction of presented phases was carried out together with the measurement of grain size by means of image analysis. The last part of conducted research was hardness analysis of the steel after the different heat treatments. Findings: It was found that the microstructure constitution and grain size are strongly dependent on the temperature of isothermal holdings. The microstructure of steel held at 800ºC is composed of the mixture of bainite and two kinds of ferrite: globular and acicular. When the temperature was lowered by 50ºC the ferrite shows the globular morphology. When the temperature drops to 700ºC and below it, the microstructure is composed of ferritic-pearlitic mixture. It was observed that when the isothermal temperature was increased the grain size decreased and the opposite effect was observed for the holding time. The longer the time of the isothermal holding, the larger was the grain size. Research limitations/implications: For better understanding of the phase transformation kinetics in this steel the dilatometric test are planned. Practical implications: The knowledge of the microstructure evolution and hot deformation response of low-carbon structural steels is important from the industrial point of view. Originality/value: The combined effects of hot deformation and different cooling paths give the useful information on a microstructure evolution.
