The hot tensile tests were conducted in this study to investigate the effects of Nb, B, Mo, and V on hot ductility of 25CrMo alloy steel in a temperature range of 650–850°C with strain rates of 0.005 and 0.5 s −1 . Besides, the influences of ferrite transformation and precipitates on hot ductility were also investigated by the use of SEM and TEM. Thermo-Calc and J Mat Pro were used for calculating equilibrium precipitates and CCT curves, respectively. The results indicated that the hot ductility is deteriorated with the addition of 0.04% Nb due to Nb(C,N) particles and ferrite transformation. The addition of B inhibits ferrite transformation and improves hot ductility. The hot ductility is improved with increasing strain rate from 0.005 to 0.5 s −1  due to the nucleation and growth behavior of ferrite. The fast strain rate promotes nucleation of ferrite; however, the ferrite has no sufficient time to grow up. The addition of Mo inhibits ferrite transformation and improves hot ductility. The addition of 0.12% V has no obvious effect on ferrite transformation. The hot ductility has deteriorated a little with the addition of 0.12% V due to the solution V that increases stress during hot deformation.
