The production of heavy plates for pipe application was boosted from the 1960s by the development of the controlled rolling process, TMCR (Thermomechanical controlled rolling) and later by the use of accelerated in-line ...

Usiminas has been installing in Ipatinga Mill the Accelerated Cooling Technology, which will become able to produce higher tensile steel plates with less carbon equivalent (Pcm), comparatively to carbon steels produced ...

This work was developed looking for to understand and improve the cutting process and preparation of samples sent to Usiminas mechanical tests laboratory, with regard to the influence of gas cutting on the mechanical ...

TMCP (Thermo Mechanical Control Process) is a technology that combines controlled rolling with accelerated cooling for production of heavy plates of steels for various applications, including those for oil and gas ...

The steel plates must meet the most rigorous standards and needs market. For this, in the lamination the steel is subjected to thermomechanical processes aiming at obtaining surface qualities, shape, dimensions and mechanical ...

The production of thick plates with the accelerated cooling technology aims at providing a variety of products with enhanced mechanical and metallurgical properties in relation to conventional steels. The steels obtained ...

Com os novos desafios impostos pelas condições cada vez mais severas dos poços de petróleo offshore a necessidade de materiais mais modernos e com melhores propriedades mecânicas tem sido um desafio constante. Neste trabalho ...

The heavy plates can be produced by different production routes and yet continue to meet satisfactorily the customer specification. There are two technologies for heavy plate heat treatment, being the conventional route ...
