✦ Synopsis

Monitoring and control of microstructure evolution in metal processing is essential in developing the right properties in a metal. The editors and contributors summarize the wealth of recent research on the mechanisms, modeling and control of microstructure evolution during metal forming processes in this book. Part one reviews the general principles involved in understanding and controlling microstructure evolution in metal forming. Chapters explore techniques for modeling microstructure and optimizing processes, along with recrystallization, grain growth, and severe plastic deformation. Part two focuses on the microstructure evolution in the processing of steel and reviews the modeling of phase transformations in steel, unified constitutive equations and work hardening in microalloyed steels. The conclusion examines microstructure evolution in the processing of other metals, including aging behavior in the processing of aluminum and microstructure control in processing nickel, titanium and other special alloys.
