Processes  
CTM´s Area of Processes is the one specialised in the development and research into forming industrial processes. The Area of Processes works on the optimisation of industrial processes for the forming of materials with the objective of obtaining materials with improved characteristics.
 

  The main lines of work of the Area of Processes are:
  • Physical metallurgy of medium carbon microalloyed steels
  • Hot deformation of commercially pure copper for tube extrusion.
  • Characterisation of welding alloys Sn-Pb and Sn-Ag.
  • Hot ductility, constitutive equations and forecasting of solidification microstructures of construction steels obtained by continuous casting.
  • Obtaining materials with tixotropic behaviour by compocasting.
  • Development of processing routes for obtaining metals with ultrafine grain.
  • Characterisation of metals by hot and cold deformation for rotative lamination.
  • Forming of composite materials.

Within the main lines of research the area is working on:
  • Physical metallurgy of hot deformation
    • Description of the continuous and discontinuous dynamic recristallisation phenomena.
    • Implementation of the EBSD technique on the follow up of the restoration and recristallisation mechanisms.
    • Constitutive equations of hot deformation. Composition effect.
  • " Hot ductility and forecasting of solidification microstructures
    • Determination of the interdendritic spacing and effect of the chemical composition in steels obtained by continuous casting.
    • Simulation of the process and effect of the control variables.
    • Hot ductility study of construction steels.
  • Obtention of metals with ultrafine and nanometric grains
    • Mechanical milling.
    • Equal channel angular pressing
