Development of optimal rolling schedules for ferritic rolling

Objective

This project will investigate the production of DQ-DDQ steel grades taking advantage of the ferritic processing route, combined with vacuum degassed steels, and will aim to:
- develop new low temperature ferritic rolling schedules for the production of ULC, ULC-IF (Ti or Ti/Nb), IF-HR and vacuum degassed microalloyed bake-hardenable steel grades with high drawability in the cold rolled and annealed state;
- assess the possibility of increasing production line flexibility in order to reduce the final thickness, combining hot and cold reduction in the case of IF-HR steels;
- investigate the effect of hot and cold rolling reductions.
