It is generally recognized that the kinetics of phase transformations during the cooling of steel products depends to a large extent on the state of the austenite after rolling. Austenite deformation (when recrystallization is not complete) and grain size have a strong influence on the nucleation and growth of low-temperature phases. Thus, the general objective of the present work was the formulation of a numerical model which simulates thermal, mechanical and microstructural phenomena during multipass hot rolling of flat bars. The simulation of flat bar rolling accounting for the evolution of a heterogeneous microstructure was the objective of the work. A conventional finite-element program was used to calculate the distribution of strains, stresses, and temperatures in the flat bar during rolling and during interpass times. The FE program was coupled with the stochastic model describing austenite microstructure evolution. In this model, the random character of the recrystallization was accounted for. Simulations supplied information about the distributions of the dislocation density and the grain size at various locations through the thickness of the bars.

Enhancing strength-ductility synergy of materials has been for decades an objective of research on structural metallic materials. It has been shown by many researchers that significant improvement of this synergy can be obtained by tailoring heterogeneous multiphase microstructures. Since large gradients of properties in these microstructures cause a decrease of the local fracture resistance, the objective of research is to obtain smoother gradients of properties by control of the manufacturing process. Advanced material models are needed to design such microstructures with smooth gradients. These models should supply information about distributions of various microstructural features, instead of their average values. Models based on stochastic internal variables meet this requirement. Our objective was to account for the random character of the recrystallization and to transfer this randomness into equations describing the evolution of dislocations and grain size during hot deformation and during interpass times. The idea of this stochastic model is described in the paper. Experiments composed of uniaxial compression tests were performed to supply data for the identification and verification of the model in the hot deformation and static recrystallization parts. Histograms of the grain size were measured after hot deformation and at different times after the end of deformation. Identification and validation of the model were performed. The validated model, which predicts evolution of heterogeneous multiphase microstructure, is the main output of our work. The model was implemented in the finite element program for hot rolling of plates and sheets and simulations of these processes were performed. The model’s capability to compare and evaluate various rolling strategies are demonstrated in the paper.
