| Abstract: |
Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Processing (TMCP) is a technology for simultaneously improving the strength and toughness in any hot rolled steel. Intelligent metallurgical design and precise control of thermal and physical characteristics of the metal in rolling can optimize both strength and ductility in any given steel. In using this technique, the steel produced will be higher in strength and ductility than current standard steels, and so can be substituted into building structures with reduced dimensions and masses but will still meet all construction requirements. This can allow up to a 20% reduction in the mass of steel used in significant projects,, as demonstrated in the given case studies. |
