Steel
research is chiefly driven by the desire to produce steels with tailor
made microstructure and properties suited to diverse applications.
Significant progress has been made in understanding the influence of
alloying elements, hot deformation of austenite and its controlled
decomposition during cooling. Physical simulation coupled with
mathematical modeling and other advanced techniques have proved to be
techno-economically attractive in improving metallurgical processes,
leading to enhancement in quality of contemporary products and
development of new products.
The
4th International Conference on Thermo-Mechanical Simulation and
Processing of Steel (SimPro'16) was organized during February
10 – 12, 2016. Focus of the conference was various simulation techniques and
their applications in steel research and recent advances in
thermo-mechanical processing. This conference was an opportunity for
scientists and technologists from research/ academic institutes, and
manufacturers to share their experience in
producing high value products.
