Metallurgical Fundamentals of TMP

Oral Presentation

The Soft Quenching process applied to the Danieli Spooler incorporates a patented controlled cooling technology specifically developed to enhance the production of compact rebar coils.
In conventional spooler-based quenching systems, cooling is performed in a single high intensity stage immediately after the finishing rolling pass. This approach suppresses diffusive austenite transformation,...

5. Influence of Cooling Rate and Reaustenitization Strategy on the Mechanical Properties of Ni–Mo Alloyed Quenched and Tempered Thick Plates

Metallurgical Fundamentals of TMP

Oral Presentation

The combination of nickel and molybdenum additions is widely used to enhance hardenability and low‑temperature toughness in quenched and tempered thick plates. However, the interaction between alloying content, cooling rate during quenching, and reaustenitization strategy remains critical for achieving uniform martensitic microstructures through the plate thickness. In this work, two...

12. Producing High Strength H-Beams with Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP): the Danieli QST – Quenching & Self-Tempering process

Metallurgical Fundamentals of TMP

Oral Presentation

Heavy beams producers selected Danieli technology to apply Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP) at their rolling mills.

Thanks to this process, the product portfolio can be expanded with high strength beams in fine-grained structural grades according to the European (EN 10025-4) and American (A913/A913M) standards.

High-strength beams offer substantial savings in construction in...

59. Balancing Strength and Ductility in TMCP API X70 Plates: Industrial Control of Yield-to-Tensile Ratio

Abstract

The balance between strength and ductility is a key requirement in pipeline steels, where the yield-to-tensile (Y/T) ratio directly influences strain capacity and resistance to failure under complex loading conditions. In thermo-mechanical controlled processing (TMCP) of API X70 plates, maintaining a low and stable Y/T ratio while meeting strength and toughness requirements...
