Thermomechanical Rolling: Optimized Wire Quality While Conserving Resources
Thermomechanical treatment and the processes for controlled hot forming or thermomechanical treatment in forming technology are understood to be the functional combination of forming and heat treatment to achieve certain material properties. The aim of this technology is the technology-based improvement of product properties while at the same time conserving resources by reducing process costs within the value chain. Due to the complex rolling challenges involved in wire rolling, this advanced technology was for a long time mainly restricted to flat products or could only be used to a very limited extent in the wire sector.
