Refinement of grain size is the standard way to improve both strength and ductility. Recent work has indicated that ultra-fine grain structures of around 1?m could be achievable in commercial production with appropriate development of the production route. The project will assess what benefits are likely to be achievable in low microalloyed carbon and stainless steel flat products from ultra-fine polygonal grain sizes, and how these might be produced for bulk manufacture. The project comprises a literature review and experimental work following up on current leads, with recommendations made regarding the perceived potential of the different approaches.
