Exploiting Annealing Reactions for New Steel Grade Development

利用退火反应开发新钢种。海外钢铁市场正在需求更薄、更便宜的可锻造产品。这项拟议的工作旨在确定如何利用退火过程中发生的反应来创造满足这些需求的新产品。将研究再结晶织构的发展过程，它控制着产品被拉成形状的难易程度，沉淀溶解，这对表面质量有影响，以及蠕变，可能导致薄产品中的退火缺陷。其目的是利用所产生的知识来消除工艺参数和钢材成分的过度设计，以开发新的具有成本效益的出口等级。

Exploiting Annealing Reactions for New Steel Grade Development. Overseas steel markets are demanding thinner and cheaper formable products. The proposed work aims to establish how the reactions that take place during annealing can be exploited to create new products to meet these needs. The processes of recrystallization texture development, which controls the ease with which the product can be drawn into shapes, precipitate dissolution, which impacts on surface quality, and creep, which can lead to annealing defects in thin products will be studied. The objective is use the knowledge generated to remove over-design of processing parameters and steel composition to develop new cost effective export grades.
