Laboratory casts of titanium stabilised and titanium–vanadium dual stabilised ultralow carbon (ULC) steel have been assessed to determine their strain aging properties. A retarding effect on strain aging resulting from vanadium microalloying addition in Ti–V ULC strip steels is identified, and the activation energies for strain aging in Ti stabilised and Ti–V stabilised ULC steels are shown to differ.
