Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the thermomechanical treatment of steel. According to said method, the parent material is heated to a temperature in excess of the re-crystallization temperature, the structure is austenitized, held at an equalized temperature and then formed and subsequently quenched to form martensite and tempered. Round steel bars, whose re-crystallization temperature is adjusted over the bar length in a compensation furnace, constitute the parent material. The round steel bars are subsequently re-modeled by cross-rolling, remaining substantially straight and after the critical deformation degree has been exceeded are subjected to dynamic re-crystallization processes. The round steel bars are then subjected to a post-heating process above the Ac3 temperature, in order to undergo a complete static re-crystallization and finally are quenched from the austenitic state to form martensite and tempered.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the process stability, particularly the absolute thickness precision and the installation safety during the hot rolling of steel of nonferrous materials, with small degrees of deformation (f) or no reductions while taking the high-temperature limit of elasticity (Re) into account when calculating the set rolling force (Fw) and the respective setting position (s). The process stability can be increased with regard to the precision of the yield stress (kf,R) and the set rolling force (Fw) at small degrees of deformation (f) or small reductions, during which the high temperature limit of elasticity (Re) is determined according to the deformation temperature (T) and/or the deformation speed (phip) and is integrated into the function of the yield stress (kf) for determining the set rolling force (Fw) via the relation (2) Re=a+eb1+b2·T.phipc, in which: Re represents the high temperature; phip represents the deformation speed, and; a, b, c represent coefficients.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing helical springs or stabilisers consisting of steel. According to said method, the parent material is heated to a temperature in excess of the re-crystallisation temperature, the structure is austenitised, held at an equalised temperature and then formed and subsequently quenched to form martensite and tempered. Round steel bars, whose re-crystallisation temperature is adjusted over the bar length in a compensation furnace, constitute the parent material. The round steel bars are subsequently re-modelled by cross-rolling, remaining substantially straight and after the critical deformation degree has been exceeded are subjected to dynamic re-crystallisation processes. The round steel bars are then subjected to a post-heating process above the Ac3 temperature, in order to undergo a complete static re-crystallisation, are wound to form a helical spring or bent to form a stabiliser and are finally quenched from the austenitic state to form martensite and tempered.
