Simulation of post rolling cooling and microstructure of steel wire-rod for optimization and control of the process

Objective

This research project will investigate optimization of post-rolling cooling of steel wire/rods. The aim is to develop a tool for the optimization of the cooling process with respect to microstructures and properties of the products, and their homogeneity; the stability with composition or process parameters will also be addressed. This tool will use results of previous as well as current work on hot-rolling modelling, so that improved process control of post-rolling cooling of steel wire (and bars) will be achieved. Furthermore, the research is expected to contribute to improvements of the products' metallurgy and to prepare the basis for further technical evolution of mills.
