SUUUpoRt course - Technology of Long Products

Profund transfer of knowledge for the development of material-specific technologies including plant concepts for producing hot rolled long products combined with quality and economic aspects. Different methods of thermomechanical treatment, specifics of important metals and alloys as well as their further processing to semi-finished products and finished products by cold forming will be addressed. Students will be able to understand and to control qualitatively industrial technologies for the production of metallic long products.

Contents: The components of a technological process chain will be demonstrated and their subject matter will be discussed. This includes material-specific knowledge (forming behavior, hardening and softening kinetics, phase transformation, precipitation, microstructure development at room temperature and the mechanical properties), quality characteristics of the products to be produced according to applicable standards and the plant design. The different methods of thermomechanical treatment will be covered for rolling of rods, wire and profiles. The necessary requirements on plant technology and the function of several units with its technical data will be discussed. This is followed by teaching product manufacturing methods from cast ingot to semi-finished product by hot and cold forming for selected metals and alloys.
