The effects of Nb and V on the anisotropy and textures featuring the hot rolled low carbon microalloyed steels produced by A.S.T. (Arvedi Steel Technology) have been studied as a function of the final coiling temperatute T-coiling. Mechanical properties and r-values for twelve steels have been determined through tensile tests performed on three main different directions: 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees to the rolling one. The samples have been analysed by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction) to identify the textures developed during the process. The relations among the chemical composition of the steels (i.e. C, N, Nb, V contents), the mechanical properties, the temperature during the coiling operations, the textures and the formability properties have been pointed out.
