    This paper studied the copper precipitation in an 18CrNiMo7-6 martensitic steel (0.19 mass% C) with copper addition and its resulting improved mechanical behavior. The development of nano-precipitates in two modified alloys with 1.0 and 1.5 mass% copper addition was investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The first-principles calculation has enabled the modeling of the unavailable copper standards: solid solution, B2, BCC, 2H, 9R and 3R, for calculating the XAS spectra and successfully identified the unknown phases after aging for the first time in this steel group. The samples alloyed with 1.5 mass% copper yielded the semi-coherent 9R structure when aged at 500°C between 166 to 360 minutes. The ones containing 1 mass% copper formed the B2 ordered structure after aging at 480°C for 50 minutes and revealed the co-existence of the 9R after 240 minutes. The analysis reveals the precipitation kinetics of copper in low carbon martensitic steel and helps determine the optimum tempering parameters to adjust peak strength.

    Optimal control of a cooling line for production of hot rolled dual phase steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Bleck, Wolfgang; Hömberg, Dietmar; Prahl, Ulrich; Suwanpinij, Piyada; Togobytska, Nataliya
    In this article, the optimal control of a cooling line for production of dual phase steel in a hot rolling process is discussed. In order to achieve a desired dual phase steel microstructure an optimal cooling strategy has to be found. The cooling strategy should be such that a desired final distribution of ferrite in the steel slab is reached most accurately. This problem has been solved by means of mathematical control theory. The results of the optimal control of the cooling line have been verified in hot rolling experiments at the pilot hot rolling mill at the Institute for Metal Forming (IMF), TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

    Numerical cooling strategy design for hot rolled dual phase steel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Suwanpinij, Piyada; Togobytska, Nataliya; Prahl, Ulrich; Weiss, Wolf; Hömberg, Dietmar; Bleck, Wolfgang
    In this article, the Mo-Mn dual phase steel and its process parameters in hot rolling are discussed. The process window was derived by combining the experimental work in a hot deformation dilatometer and numerical calculation of process parameters using rate law models for ferrite and martensite transformation. The ferrite formation model is based on the Leblond and Devaux approach while martensite formation is based on the Koistinen-Marburger (K-M) formula. The carbon enrichment during ferrite formation is taken into account for the following martensite formation. After the completion of the parameter identification for the rate law model, the evolution of phases in multiphase steel can be addressed. Particularly, the simulations allow for predicting the preferable degree of retained strain and holding temperature on the run out table (ROT) for the required ferrite fraction.

    Phase transformation modeling and parameter identification from dilatometric investigations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Suwanpinij, Piyada; Togobytska, Nataliya; Keul, Christoph; Weiss, Wolf; Prahl, Ulrich; Hömberg, Dietmar; Bleck, Wolfgang
    The goal of this paper is to propose a new approach towards the evaluation of dilatometric results, which are often employed to analyse the phase transformation kinetics in steel, especially in terms of continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram. A simple task of dilatometry is deriving the start and end temperatures of the phase transformation. It can yield phase transformation kinetics provided that plenty metallographic investigations are performed, whose analysis is complicated especially in case of several coexisting product phases. The new method is based on the numerical solution of a thermomechanical identification problem. It is expected that the phase transformation kinetics can be derived by this approach with less metallographic tasks. The first results are remarkably promising although further investigations are required for the numerical simulations.
