Objetivo
The aim of this co-operative research project is to develop a metallurgical model, running on a personal computer, to predict the microstructural evolution in steel during hot rolling, from reheating to the final cooling, including the prediction of the mechanical properties. This project is based on results achieved through other successful research work focused on C-Mn steels, which allowed a prototype "skeleton" model to be developed which does not consider the complications of precipitation processes. In this research the existing model will be enlarged to cover the more complicated situation pertaining to microalloyed grades (e.g. HSLA and IF steels), such as interactions between precipitates, grain growth, recrystallization and transformation, and strain-induced precipitation during rolling.
