Control of scale during steel processing

Objective

Scale is a perennial cause of defects on rolled products, either directly or as a result of persistent ghost marks. This project builds on previous work to determine optimum processing conditions for special steels (notably ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, micro-alloy strip steels and plate grades), by characterising furnace scale, residual scale after hydraulic de-scaling and scale present after primary rolling.

A simplified empirical scale growth model will facilitate interpolation between different steel types and furnace atmospheres. An FE model of scale growth and deformation will predict scale development during reheating, de-scaling and rolling. The model work will be tested against laboratory and pilot plant trials.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
