Objective Recent advances in wire rod manufacture technologies allow the introduction of a thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) and precision rolling, expanding the range of steel wire rods, suitable for simplified production routes or direct processing. The aims of the project are to assess the TMCP potential for achieving microstructures suitable for simplification/elimination of softening annealing of wire rods made of low - C steel for drawing and medium - C low alloy steel for cold heading. To design and develop steel chemistries, mill lay-out and hot rolling schedules for TMCP of wire rods, in order to improve metallurgical properties, without detrimental effects on dimensional accuracy is a further aim.
