determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. in this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. the critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. in a...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of alloying elements and thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) i.e. hot rolling and forging with different reduction ratios on the hardness (HV) and impact toughness (J) of heat-treated low alloy steels. An understanding of the combined effect of TMT and alloying elements and by measuring hardness, impact toughness, resulting from differen...

A laminated Ti-Al composite has been fabricated by hot compaction and hot rolling of alternate layers of commercial purity Ti and Al sheets with a thickness of 200 μm. The hot compaction temperature was 500 ̊C and in a following step the composite has been reduced 50% in thickness by hot rolling. The fully consolidated composite has been annealed at 300 ̊C and 500 ̊C for different length of time. ...

The plastic penetration condition and biting-in condition of a radial conical ring rolling process with a closed die structure on the top and bottom of driven roll, simplified as RCRRCDS, were established. The reasonable value range of mandrel feed rate in rolling process was deduced. A coupled thermomechanical 3D FE model of RCRRCDS process was established. The changing laws of equivalent plas...

obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at mobarakeh steel company. the effects of different parameters including the heat resu...

Steel containing 0.03% carbon, 1.35% copper and 0.84% nickel had yield strength in the 540-625 MPa (78-90 Ksi) range depending on thickness, ultimate tensile strength in the 625-690 MPa (90100 Ksi) range, and 25-30% elongation when air cooled after hot rolling. No brittle heat-affected zone was formed during manual or automatic submerged arc welding without pre-heating or postheating. The fract...

The oxidation of stainless steels 304 and 304L during hot rolling is studied in this paper. Results show the oxide scale thickness decreases significantly with an increase of reduction, and the oxide scales of both 304 and 304L stainless steels were found more deformable than the steel substrate. Surface roughness shows a complicated transfer during the hot rolling process due to the complexity...

The problem of Scheduling Hot Rolling Pass of Steels is very complex because it has large spaces search for solutions. The aim of this work was the Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) of hot rolling steel sheets in a finishing train of six steps, implementing the second generation of Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). It was used two different crossover (AG1 y AG2) operators and t...
