The physical fundamentals, resource-saving technique and modelling of Thermomechanical
Processing (TMP) applied to steels and alloys are described. Structural and phase
transformations under TMP and their role in formation of final structure and mechanical
properties in the different steels and alloys are presented. The basic physical principles of
TMP as a base for developing of new resource-saving technologies of metal products
manu-facturing and examples of industrial application are presented. Different TMP schemes
developed for producing of bar and sheet rolling products, annular billets cylindrical billets with
variable sections of profile are demonstrated. Modelling, including Physical and Numerical simul
ation, Experimental Planning and FEM applied to control structure and mechanical
properties of TMP treated products are presented.
Keywords: thermomechanical processing (TMP); physical foundations; steels; dynamic recrystallization. |
