Objective
The overall objective of the proposed research is the development of a high quality beam blank manufacturing route with the potential for new product development using advanced casting and rolling technologies. The industrial application of new routes based for a large part on the near net shape casting concept undoubtedly allows a drastic decrease in processing costs. However it also opens up the question of the possible effect of a smaller reduction rate during the rolling of semis on the final properties of the products. For sections, which under the conventional route are processed by appropriate thermomechanical treatments during rolling, this aspect is particularly important. On the other hand, the beam blank offers the possibility of enabling more difficult sections to be rolled, and this project will take a major step forward in seeking to develop a methodology for exploiting this. The project is intended to be a multipartner work programme with involvement of CRM in beam blank property enhancement through the application of powder injection in the mould and of original casting technologies, ProfilARBED examining the rolling of beam blanks in mill trials and British Steel developing beam blank technology as part of an integrated manufacturing route.
