Description
Designed for learners and professionals in materials science and metallurgical engineering, this course offers a comprehensive exploration of thermomechanical treatments (TMT) and their influence on steel properties. Beginning with foundational concepts in dynamic recovery and recrystallisation, the course examines microstructural transformations during hot working. Through interactive simulations and data-driven models, learners will interpret stress-strain behavior, grain evolution, and sub-grain formation across a variety of deformation conditions. Key concepts such as metadynamic recrystallisation and the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation are introduced to model and predict softening kinetics. The course synthesizes theoretical frameworks with real-world forming applications, enhancing technical competence in predicting material performance under dynamic processing. Ideal for use in metallurgy curricula, industry upskilling programs, and advanced steel technology tracks.
