“…It is imperative to mention here that in the TMT process, quenching of hot-rolled bars with water jet leads to the formation of martensite at the outer surface of the rebars. The residual heat flow across their bar section during cooling results in the tempering of the initially formed martensite with finer grains, which is self-tempering in nature and also produces ferrite-pearlite with coarser grains or mixed microstructure in the core region [13,33,41,42]. A clear boundary separating the outer ring from the inner core is also visible in the case of TMT rebars (Figures 1(a) and (b)).…”

In the present research, the effects of various alloying elements and microstructural constituents on the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour have been studied for four different rebars. The microstructures of stainless steel and plain rebar primarily reveal equiaxed ferrite grains and ferrite-pearlite microstructures, respectively, with no evidence of transition zone, whereas tempered martensite at the outer rim, followed by a narrow bainitic transition zone with an internal core of ferrite-pearlite, has been observed for the thermomechanically treated (TMT) rebars. The hardness profiles obtained from this study display maximum hardness at the periphery, which decreases gradually towards the centre, thereby providing the classical U-shaped hardness profile for TMT rebars. The tensile test results confirm that stainless steel rebar exhibits the highest combination of strength (≈755 MPa) and ductility (≈27%). It has been witnessed that in Tafel plots, the corrosion rate increases for all the experimental rebars in 1% HCl solution, which is well expected because the acid solutions generally possess a higher corrosive environment than seawater (3.5% NaCl) due to their acidic nature and lower pH values. However, all the experimental results obtained from Tafel and Nyquist plots correlate well for both 1% HCl and 3.5% NaCl solutions.

“…These results show that the need to relate the microstructures to the resulting properties of quenched and tempered rebar can be satisfied by proposed TPS. Khalifa et al [31] developed a thermal model to predict the temperature distribution across the bar over its whole quenching and self-tempering rout. The output of this model has been used to calculate the area of martensite formed in outer layer and ferrite-pearlite zone.…”

“…The mechanical properties of Tempcore rebar have been the subject of several studies. The impact toughness [26], fatigue behavior [27], weldability for seismic application [28], and behavior at elevated temperature [29][30][31] have been studied. Nevertheless, data on practical experimental simulation is very scarce even though this is a very important factor to save time and cost.…”

Tempcore process simulator (TPS) has been developed in this study to analyze the microstructural evolution of quenched and tempered rebar. There has been an increasing need to relate the complex microstructures to the resulting properties of quenched and tempered rebar. However, information on such relationships typically requires precise thermal histories imposed on the workpiece. Therefore, TPS, capable of simulating the Tempcore process, has been developed to produce high-fidelity data. TPS mainly consists of a vacuum induction furnace, pilot rolling mill, box furnace, and cooling unit to simulate shop floor operations. A series of experimental tests were successfully carried out with various parameters, such as reheating temperature, water flow, water pressure, and cooling time. The effects of chemical compositions and cooling time on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of quenched and tempered rebar have been analyzed to validate the performance of TPS. The results show that TPS can simulate the Tempcore process with a high degree of fidelity and reliability.

“…Dual phase steel is the most encouraging advanced high-strength steel class in accomplishing high strength, high ductility with low weight [3]. Dual phase steel, as its name proposes, has two main phases, ferrite and martensite [4]. The ductility and strength of dual phase steel is provided by the ferrite and martensite phases respectively [5].…”

Niobium bearing ultralow carbon micro alloyed dual phase steel grade steel with chemical composition of 0.045 wt.% carbon, 0.04 wt.% niobium, 0.59 wt.% chromium, 0.9 wt.% manganese, 0.28 wt.% silicon is investigated. The design of thermomechanical treatment needs knowledge about the flow behaviour at high deformation temperatures, to be used for this steel in industrial plants. Therefore, this work aims to predict, for the investigated steel, the flow behaviour and mean flow stress. A phenomenological constitutive model is established to derive the flow stress using the hyperbolic sinusoidal Arrhenius mathematical model. The relation between stress and strain with Zener‐Hollomon parameter is studied. Mean flow stress has been figured out by measurements taken from compact slab production plant log data using a constitutive model. The constitutive model is further verified by multiple hits of flat compression setup mode at BährTTS820 physical simulator. The tests were performed under specific thermochemical schedule simulating compact slab production plant. The results show good agreement between the calculated flow stress, Non‐recrystallization temperature and experimentally measured values obtained from the physical simulation. Ferrite grain size is modelled and predicted then validated by experimental rolled specimens in a practical hot strip mill.
