Hot rolled HSLA (High strength low alloy) steels with two compositions were investigated by means of microstructure and mechanical property analysis. Thermal mechanical controlling process (TMCP) technology was applied for required microstructure and mechanical property. Effects of micro-alloying elements such as Mo, V and Ti on the microstructure and mechanical property of the experimental steels were analyzed. Results indicate that: Micro-alloying elements such as Mo, V and Ti can
