Improved grain size control in heat-treated steels

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-KA-827

Project closed

Start date 1 September 1996

End date 29 February 2000

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 213 500,00

EU contribution € 728 100,00

Coordinated by

British Steel plc
United Kingdom

Objective

The objective is to identify compositional, processing and heat treatment variables controlling the austenitic grain size and the achievement of consistent processing and product properties, in plate, strip, billet, bar and rod derived products. Work will examine developments required to enable the application of modern or evolving process technologies (e.g. warm/cold forging, direct quenching, high temperature carburizing) for through process cost reductions in the final products.
