Abstract: Effect of rolling process on microstructure, mechanical properties and precipitation of V-Nb micro-alloyed HRB600E steel rebar was researched by means of confocal laser scanning high-temperature microscope, HR-TEM and OM systematically. The results show that with the increase of heating temperature and holding time, austenite grain size of the tested steel rebar increases. When the rolling temperature increases 60 ℃, the proportion and size of pearlite colony in the tested steel rebar increase 10.9% and 5.1 μm respectively, and the tensile strength increases 30-40 MPa, while the elongation decreases 3%-5%. Meanwhile, the precipitation amount of V(C, N) decreases while the amount of VNb(C, N) increases, the precipitation amount of the whole precipitated particles decreases but their equivalent circular diameter increases. The precipitation strengthening effect of various rolling processes has little difference, the strengthening effect of phase transition in the tested steel rebar is superior to the precipitation in the whole.
