Book Description,
The whole range of steel thermal processing technology, from casting and plastic forming to
welding and heat treatment, not only produces workpieces of the required shape but also optimizes the end-product microstructure. Thermal processing thus plays a central role in quality control, service life, and the ultimate reliability of engineering components, and now represents a fundamental element of any company’s competitive capability. Substantial advances in research, toward increasingly accurate prediction of the microstructure and properties of workpieces produced by thermal processing, were based on solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) for temperature, concentration, electromagnetic properties, and stress and strain phenomena. Until the widespread use of high-performance computers, analytical solution of PDEs was the only approach to describe these parameters, and this placed severe limitations in terms of prediction for engineering applications so that thermal process developments themselves relied on empiricism and traditional practice. The level of inaccuracy inherent in computational predictions hindered both materials performance improvements and process cost reduction.
