Metallurgical Design of Flat Rolled Steels

This book outlines the basic principles of metallurgical design of flat rolled steels to obtain flat steel products with required metallurgical and mechanical properties. These principles establish the requirements for steel chemical composition and the process parameters, including steelmaking, reheating, hot rolling, annealing and cold rolling. Metallurgical Design of Flat Rolled Steels reviews the current theories and experimental works conducted in this area and gives a comparative analysis of the obtained results in application to a large variety of steels produced around the world. It illustrates equations developed by various researchers and compares them in both table and graphic forms.
