Development of Simulation Platform for Process Design and Microstructure Prediction of Hot Strip Rolling

Based on research findings of previous studies,the mathematic model of processing parameter and microstructure prediction of the strip was established.The simulation platform for process design and microstructure prediction was developed by VB program language.Take Q235B strip produced in a 1700mm hot rolling plant as an example,the structure and properties were measured and calculated.The results show that the calculated values are matched to measured values well,the error rate of mechanical properties is less than 6%.This platform can meet the need in site.
