Quantitative modelling of solidification, precipitation and recrystallization behaviour of microalloyed plates recrystallization behaviour of microalloyed plates

Quantitative models have been developed to aid in the design of base chemistry and optimization of process variables for improved strength and toughness of Ti-Nb bearing line pipe steels. The model predicts the precipitate evolution from solidification processing of the slab through to finish rolling of the plate. A quantitative model has been developed based on finite difference method to predict the microsegregation and post-solidification …
