Thermomechanical controlled processing (TMCP) - Delivering the advantages of niobium technology
Steelmakers, pipe manufacturers and their clients are increasingly embracing best practice and are taking advantage of the enhanced understanding of the special role played by niobium during conventional TMCP,
and the way in which high temperature processing (HTP) can be implemented to provide the many benefits highlighted in this short document.
Our exclusive technical briefing brings all the basic metallurgical principles of thermomechanical controlled processing (TMCP) and its application in the production of plate and strip for the manufacture of high
strength linepipe.
