Property models for mixed microstructures

Obiettivo

A quantitative metallurgical understanding of the relationship between steel microstructure and properties is essential for optimising both product and upstream and downstream steel manufacturing processes. In this research, improved structure relationships will be derived for multiphase and mixed property grain size microstructures, including bainite and martensite. Laboratory hot rolling, heat treatment and controlled cooling will be performed to generate specific microstructures for mechanical testing and detailed metallographic analysis of the key parameters contributing to the properties, such as grain and lath size. Approaches for modelling multiphase structures other than a simple law of mixtures will be considered. A computer module will be developed for calculating the properties suitable for standalone use of linking with hot-rolling phase transformation models. The steels considered will mainly be low carbon, low alloy grades but the metallurgical principles of the model will be applicable to a wide range of products.
