In this paper, properties of slab deformation in sizing press mill as one of the slab reduction processes in hot rolling mills have been evaluated using the elastoviscoplastic finite element method with explicit formulation. Effect of prarameters such as initial slab width and thickness, reduction, feed pitch, and anvil speed on factors such as dogbone formation, head and tail fishtail profile,...

Steel 2205 is one of the most famous duplex stainless steels. The microstructure of this steel composed of ferrite and austenite in similar amount. Therefore, in order to improve mechanical properties through microstructure, thermo mechanical processes such as controlled hot rolling and forging should be applied. It is not possible to employ the usual heat treatment. It shows the importance of ...

Cold roller bending is commonly used for bending straight members with hot rolled wide-flange sections to create arches. This process induces plastic deformations along the member, so that it can acquire the desired curvature. The resulting residual stress distribution is different from the wellknown residual stress pattern due to hot rolling. Extensive studies have shown that the influence of ...

Superalloys are metallic alloys used for high temperature applications such as encountered in the aircraft industry and where resistance to deformation is a primary requirement. Alloy 718 and waspaloy are few examples of Nickel-base superalloys that resist deformation at elevated temperatures and are therefore difficult to hot work. The major hotworking operations are forging, extrusion, and ro...

thermomechanical control process steel produced by rolling has a significant anisotropy. the elongated grains and inclusions formed during hot rolling of ferrite and low carbon hsla steels directly influence the anisotropy of the steel’s mechanical properties as a result of microstructural anisotropy. the present research deals with this anisotropy, and particular attention has been paid to the...

Scale defects are common surface defects in hot steel rolling. The reasons for such defects are not straightforward. With data mining methods, the multidimensional dependencies between process variables and product composition can be discovered. For this research, a high-dimensional data set from Rautaruukki Oyj, Raahe, Finland was gathered. The data contained both averaged values and process v...
