Abstract

In this paper we introduce the AC²WD-technology, which stands for Austenite Conditioning – Accelerated Cooling – Warm Deformation. This technology was tested in laboratory conditions using a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. Two microalloyed steels processed via this technology have shown a superior combination of mechanical properties, compared to those obtained via the conventional thermomechanical processing routes.
