CURRENT PROBLEMS IN THE STEEL METALLURGY AND MATERIOLOGY

摘要

This article analyzes problems in modern metallurgical production that are related to the sharp tightening of standards on the service characteristics of metal products. To ensure a good set of properties for those products, it is necessary to improve the accuracy with which the chemical composition of steel is specified and to create the conditions necessary to form excess-phase particles of certain types, quantities, and sizes. The article illustrates the value of constructing reliable physicochemical models that can be used to control the properties of steel both during its production and in the finished metal product.
