The dynamic strain aging behaviour of a niobium microalloyed steel has been examined. Hot tensile testing was carried out on heat treated and as received specimens. Heat treated specimens were austenitised at 1000°C for 1 h, and then cooled in air or in a stainless steel cylinder to obtain various amounts of free or uncombined interstitial solutes in solid solution, to examine the effect on the dynamic strain aging behaviour of the steel. It was found that dynamic strain aging takes place in niobium microalloyed steel during tensile testing at temperatures ranging from ambient temperature to 450°C at a crosshead displacement rate of 2 mm min^-1. As a result, the ultimate tensile strength and initial work hardening rate exhibit maximum values at temperatures between 200 and 350°C. Also, load-extension graphs for tested specimens show serrated behaviour and yield points at 200, 250, and 300°C. It is believed that dynamic strain aging in niobium steel is caused by interaction between dislocations and interstitial solutes (nitrogen and carbon) or solute pairs consisting of one interstitial and one substitutional solute atom (for example Mn-C and Mn-N).
