Abstract
Numerical model of controlled cooling in the production of steel hot rolled bars was developed. The numerical model and algorithm are completed to solve problems in controlled cooling of hot rolled bars in cooling beds. The controlled cooling is performed by special placement of hot rolled bars on cooling beds. By numerical model of controlled cooling is possible to predict a transient temperature field, microstructure evolution and hardness of round steel bars during their cooling in cooling beds. The numerical model of transient temperature field is based on control volume method. The hardness and microstructure distribution in steel bars has predicted by using equations of austenite decomposition kinetic. The algorithm for prediction is based the real chemical composition. Numerical model and computer program were experimentally verified by experimental work in a real industrial production of low-alloyed steel bars. The verification of developed numerical model was performed by comparison of simulated with experimentally evaluated results hardness and cooling curve.
