Continuous Casting of High Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steels and Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS)

Case Studies in Continuous Casting of High Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steels and Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) provides an understanding of the application of fundamental concepts to practical problems in Ferrous Physical Metallurgy. It will provide the reader with a better understanding of the composition-processing-microstructure-property relationship by presenting and discussing industrial case studies from the conception to the implementation stage.

The information provided is directed to practical applications. It includes coverage from physical metallurgy principles through to the operating field itself through the presentation and discussion of case studies which have been developed specifically for the comprehension of the reader and effective industrial application. Each chapter is preceded by an introduction of the main principles of physical metallurgy that are applicable to develop and understand the specific case study. This introduction covers three important aspects: 1) the creation of new products and processes; 2) the improvement of existing processes and/or products; and 3) the logical path to solve problems at the industrial production stage. This book will be a vital resource for both new and current engineers working in the Steel making industry.
