Thin Slab Direct Rolling of Microalloyed Steel

Thin Slab Casting And Direct Rolling (tsdr) Technologies Are Nowadays One Of The Most Promising Processing Routes To Maintain Steel As A Leading Material In Technological Applications. Initially, This Process Was Exclusively For The Production Of Mild Steels. As Industrial Experience And Knowledge Improved, A Rapid Expansion Of The Range Of Products Took Place With Higher Strength Grades Becoming An Important Part Of The Overall Production. Actually, It Is Widely Accepted As A Route To Produce High Value Grades And It Can Be Considered As A Technology Which Has Reached A High Degree Of Maturity. This Book Aims To Provide An Approach To The Different Metallurgical Aspects Involved In The Application Of Thermomechanical Treatments In The Tsdr Route.
