| Synopsis: Main research themes of H-shapes and bars and wire steels based on market demands are a new TMCP for H-shapes, an advanced TMCP and micro alloying for bars, a fatigue control for bearing steels, a metallurgy of carbon steel, and strengthening of bars. These studies have enabled the development of many useful H-shapes and bars and wire steels, including the 80 mm thick heavy gauge H-shapes, the new non-heat-treated high strength bars produced by the newly developed thermo mechanical precipitation control process (TPCP), a new economical bearing steel, graphitized steel, which has an excellent machinability, and cold forgeability. |
