A Mathematical model has been developed to predict the temperature profile of the strip during water-cooling on the Run-out Table (ROT) of the Hot Strip Mill (HSM). This work describes the development and implementation of the model at Tisco’s HSM. The model has been developed using Explicit Finite Difference technique to predict the coiling temperature (CT). The model has been implemented successfully after having been validated with the actual coiling temperature (CT) for several thousand coils. A number of grades of steel with various thicknesses have been tested with this on-line model and the agreement of actual CT with the predicted ones was found very good. The on-line model is used to calculate the cooling rates at different segments of the strip that are used to obtain microstructure and mechanical properties.

A novel on-line vortex cooling powered by low-cost compressed air was proposed to reduce common defects such as low forming precision, coarse grains, and pores caused by heat accumulation in the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of aluminum alloy. The impacts of interlayer cooling (IC), substrate cooling (SC), on-line cooling (OL), and natural cooling (NC) processes were compared on the morphology, microstructure, and mechanical properties of as-deposited walls, revealing that the OL process significantly lowers the interlayer temperature and improves forming precision. The high cooling rate produced by the OL process reduced the absorption of hydrogen in the molten pool, lowering porosity. Furthermore, the grains are refined due to the developed undercooling. However, the high cooling rate enhanced the segregation potential of Mg element and raised the content of the β phase. Conclusively, the maximum tensile strength, elongation, and microhardness of the as-deposited wall are achieved via the OL process, and the fine-grain strengthening mechanism plays an important role in improving mechanical properties. The OL process is cheaper and poses a significant effect; it is highly suitable for the additive manufacturing of complex components compared with other forced cooling processes.

The medium and heavy plate of 800 MPa grade ultra-fine grained steel was welded by CO2 gas shielded welding using large line energy. The effect of cooling condition on microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joints was investigated. The results showed that the cases about significant grain size increasing and strength decreasing do exist in the heat affected zone of large line energy welded joints of 800 MPa grade ultra-fine grained steel. Grain growth and softening in the heat affected zone could be suppressed effectively by water cooling in the course of welding. The mechanical properties of welded joints could be significantly increased by water cooling, and the process of CO2 gas shielded welding under water cooling is practical for joining ultra-fine grained steel using large line energy.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of 22MnB5 Steel were analysis with different cooling method. The result show that the volume fraction of martensite in 22MnB5 is increased with the rising of cooling speed, the microstructure with air cooling is composed of ferrite and pealite, and the quenched microstructure is 100% martensite with metal die cooling and water cooling, tensile strength increased with the rising of cooling speed. The highest tensile strength is 1569.60MPa with elongation only 2.13% with water cooling method.

It is generally accepted that hot induction bending (HIB) results in a decrease in strength and an increase in fracture toughness in bend area, heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal (WM). As the result, Post bend heat treatment (PBHT) is not considered to be a requirement and could be waived for saving money and time. This research work raises the concern that factual verification of proper microstructure and no localized brittle zone is vitally necessary prior to waving PBHT. Evaluation of the steel microstructure and mechanical properties as the result of various pipe chemistries during pipe bending has been verified in this experimental work. It is emphasized that knowledge and control of prior steel pipe chemistry, control of temperature, cooling rate and bending speed assures the reliability and repeatability of induction bends, especially in critical environments such as low temperature application. In the present work, qualitative and quantitative microstructural analysis, hardness and impact test performed and evaluated on samples from X70 line pipe with 3 different steel chemistries. The samples prepared from different locations on body, weld and HAZ in the as received and as bent condition. It was found that the final microstructure and mechanical properties in the as bent condition is dependent on the chemistry, steel cleanliness and microstructural uniformity. It was observed that small localized brittle zone with traces of upper Bainite and Martensite islands could be transformed in the microstructure with rich chemistry containing non-homogenous central segregation. It is concluded that factual verification of proper microstructure with no localized hard zone is required prior to waving PBHT.
