Closed-Loop Electromagnetic Microstructure Control During Hot Strip Mill Run-Out Table Cooling

The mechanical properties of hot-rolled flat steel are determined almost entirely by the microstructure formed during run-out table (ROT) cooling - the phase transformation from austenite to ferrite, bainite, or martensite, together with the resulting grain size. Read more
