Abstract

Effect of thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties of low carbon cold forging steel was investigated for different processing parameters on a laboratory hot rolling mill. Fast cooling is a key factor in thermomechanical processing. The mechanical properties of specimen 2 which was fast cooled from high finish rolling temperature exceed the standard requirement of ML30 Steel. This is attributed to the presence of substantial amounts of pearlite. Finish rolling temperature also affects the mechanical properties of steels. Low temperature rolling results in the ferrite-grain refinement. The mechanical properties of the specimen 4 exceed the standard requirement of ML25 Steel.
