Brief description Hot Rolling Model for Control of Nb Bearing Steels. High strength Nb bearing strip steels are used to reduce the weight of automotive and construction products. The manufacture of these steels is challenging because of difficulties encountered in maintaining constant properties and strip thickness. The aim of the current work is to develop a model for Nb bearing steels that describes the effect of processing conditions and composition on the microstructure evolution during hot rolling. The model to be developed will incorporate a new approach to describing dynamic recrystallization and will lead to better property and dimensional control. It will also assist in new grade development.
