Description

A comprehensive assessment of thermomechanical processing (TMCP) shows advantages for next‑generationcarbon footrprint reduced steel products. Rather than relying primarily on alloying or downstream heat treatments, TMCP integrates controlled deformation, precise temperature management and cooling during hot rolling to engineer microstructure, properties,and sustainability performance simultaneously.

Utilizing the TM effects is offering to provide huge advantages for steel producers and final application industries at the same time,as production costs can be cut as also the number of production steps and hence contribute to lower the carbon footprint of such products.
