JFE TECHNICAL REPORT No. 11 (June 2008) Recent Development in Microstructural Control Technologies through the Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP) with JFE Steel’s High-Performance Plates† SHIKANAI Nobuo* MITAO Shinji*2 ENDO Shigeru*3 Abstract: techniques have already been applied to various Thermo-mechanical control p rocess ( TMCP) is a advanced products. In this paper, the fundamentals of microstructural control technique combining controlled microstructural control by TMCP, and the recent devel- rolling and cooling. Thermo-mechanical control p rocess opment of TMCP are described. Examples of the is used to obtain excellent properties for steel plates, advanced high-strength plates produced in JFE Steel are such as high strength, excellent toughness, and excellent also presented. weldability. JFE Steel has been developing TMCP tech- nologies ever since it started operating its accelerated 1. Introduction ® cooling facility, OLAC (On-Line A ccelerated Cooling), in its plate mill at West Japan Works (Fukuyama) in 1980 Thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) is a (the world’s first industrial accelerated cooling system microstructural control technique combining controlled ever built). In 1998, JFE Steel developed Super-OLAC, rolling and cooling. TMCP is used to obtain excellent an advanced accelerated cooling system capable of properties for steel plates, such as high
