Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of the programme is to integrate metallurgical, mechanical and thermal considerations in developing advanced, physically-based models for improved planning and control in the hot working of metals to achieve target microstructures and product properties on a Right-First-Time basis. The work has a nominal sub-division into internal, surface and system states. The internal states work deals with the physical metallurgy of the bulk metal. The surface states concerns the interface between the metal being formed and the tool and its surroundings. The system states represent the description of the meal processing in terms which allow close interaction with the plant and planning and control of the plant. There is considerable overlap and linking between these three areas. The work is generic in nature, but will be targeted at the hot rolling of steel, aluminum and nickel based alloys. The insight and models developed will directly assist the theromechanical processing of metals in general. The techniques produces should also be useful in other materials processing applications.
