ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for thermally treating a high strength, microalloyed steel so as to first induce sufficient ductility (and corresponding low strength) in the microalloyed steel to readily enable the room temperature forming and/or machining of the steel. This is accomplished by appropriately heating to a solutionizing temperature and then cooling from this temperature at an extraordinarily slow rate so as to induce coarse precipitation of any strengthening particles and to thereby minimize the strengthening contributions associated with precipitates and ferrite grain size. The formed low strength components are then thermally treated again (such as during a copper brazing cycle) so as to induce high strength and relatively lower ductility in the microalloyed steel.
