Thin Slab Direct Rolling of Microalloyed Steel

Authors: J.M. Rodriguez-Ibabe

Online since: June 2007

Description: Thin slab casting and direct rolling (TSDR) technologies are nowadays one of the most promising processing routes to maintain steel as a leading material in technological applications. Initially, this process was exclusively for the production of mild steels. As industrial experience and knowledge improved, a rapid expansion of the range of products took place with higher strength grades becoming an important part of the overall production. Actually, it is widely accepted as a route to produce high value grades and it can be considered as a technology which has reached a high degree of maturity. This book aims to provide an approach to the different metallurgical aspects involved in the application of thermomechanical treatments in the TSDR route.

Materials Science, Testing and Informatics II

Edited by: J. Gyulai

Online since: January 2005

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The series, “Hungarian Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science, Testing and Informatics”, was founded in order to provide a forum in which Hungarian and foreign scientists and research groups - interested in metals and alloys, silicates, polymers and composites - would have the opportunity to exchange and publish ideas and to establish new integrated partnerships. The 4th Hungarian Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science, Testing and Informatics was held on the Balaton lakeside, at Balatonfüred, October 12-14th , 2003.
