Keywords: Low carbon steel; fast cooling; the mechanical properties; standard requirement. Abstract. Effect of thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties of low carbon cold forging steel was investigated for different processing parameters on a laboratory hot rolling mill. Fast cooling is a key factor in thermomechanical processing. The mechanical properties of specimen 2 which was fast cooled from high finish rolling temperature exceed the standard requirement of ML30 Steel. This is attributed to the presence of substantial amounts of pearlite. Finish rolling temperature also affects the mechanical properties of steels. Low temperature rolling results in the ferrite-grain refinement. The mechanical properties of the specimen 4 exceed the standard requirement of ML25 Steel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
