Energy-saving manufacturing technology for high-strength metal products

Abstract

3821 For a long time, a team under the leadership of K.F. Starodubov at Dnepropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute (since 1999, Ukrainian National Metallurgi cal Academy) has worked on increasing the strength of mass produced metal products so as to reduce the consumption of steel in construction, manufacturing, and other sectors. This research has generated new technologies for thermal strengthening rolled metal products in the manufacturing process, on the basis of the heat of rolling [1]. These technologies are widely used in the manufacture of rebar, sheet, pipe, and other products for the construction industry.Abstract-The use of heat strengthened blanks to manufacture cold deformed rebar and high performance bolts permits the elimination of some operations in the production process, with corresponding energy sav ings. The complete research cycle includes the development of the technology, formulation of the documen tation, and industrial trials.
