Influence of Nb on the Structure and High Temperature Performance of Billet for High-Rise Structural Steel

Reasonable control of the niobium (Nb) content in steel slabs is of great significance for improving the surface quality of the slabs. In this study, a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation testing machine was used to test the high-temperature mechanical properties of steel slabs with four different Nb co...
