Abstract

Models for thermo-mechanical processing of metals have recently been developed in a European collaborative project. The scope has been work-hardening, deformation texture evolution and recrystallisation. In the present work these models have been combined with finite element modelling in order to predict microstructural properties of rolled strips of alloy 3103 subjected to full-scale industrial rolling and subsequent recrystallisation annealing. All sub-models demonstrated good prediction power. Integration and combination of the sub-models with finite element modelling represents a powerful tool for virtual processing and optimisation of industrial products and processing conditions.
