Simulation of Thermomechanical Control Processing of Steels through the Use of Experimental Planning and FEM

Abstract

The experimental planning method has been used for the examination of the combined effect of the temperature, strain, strain rate and time elapsed from the end of deformation to the start of quenching parameters of the Thermomechanical Control Processing on the structure and mechanical properties. Simulation of Thermomechanical Control Processing for the definite cross-section of profile by Finite Element Method on the base of the data obtained by the experimental planning method allowed to predict structure and mechanical properties and to develop computer modelling for the different cross-section of rolling profile.
