This symposium will highlight steelmaking and casting, hot rolling, accelerated cooling and direct quenching, flatness control, line pipe, hydrogen-induced-cracking (HIC) resistant steels, microstructure characterization, product strategies, as-rolled steels, heat-treated steels, welding, and hardfacing. As-rolled steel applications include wind towers, offshore structures, shipbuilding, and abrasion-resistant steels used in construction and machinery. Heat-treated steel applications include tank cars, pressure vessels, and quenching and partitioning to enhance steel product toughness and wear resistance.
