54. Small-scale Experiments on the Recrystallization of alloy 718 and their Transferability to Industrial Production

Thomas Leitner (voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG)

15/10/2026, 10:50

Keynote Presentation

The precise control of grain size during hot deformation is paramount for the mechanical integrity of aerospace-grade nickel-base superalloys. This study investigates the recrystallization behavior of Nickel-base alloy 718 by employing classical hot deformation experiments in combination with a novel experimental setup: a DSI Gleeble 3800 thermal-mechanical simulator integrated with a Laser...

36. Qualification of Heat Treatment Cycle for a Forged blank in Ti-6Al-4V

Mahesh Venkataraman (OFFICINE NICOLA GALPERTI E FIGLIO SPA), Mattia Gianola

Oral Presentation

This project aims to qualify the heat treatment cycle for a Ti 6Al 4V (Grade F5) component produced by forging and ring rolling, in order to ensure compliance with the mechanical properties and microstructural requirements. The ring (OD 720 mm x WT 17 mm x H 885 mm) has been manufactured for particle physics research, as a part of an accelerator beam system.

A structured manufacturing and...

11. Metallurgical Design of Forged Pipes and Connecting Parts

Dr Ettore Anelli (Franchini Acciai SpA)

15/10/2026, 11:50

Oral Presentation

The results of the development of normalized (P355NH) and quenched and tempered (P355QH) forged pipes (thickness from 20 mm to 70 mm) and P355QH connecting parts (thickness up to 420 mm) are described in this work. In the light of the target properties, concepts for proper steel design are discussed. A metallurgical analysis, including the role of chemical composition, forging and heat...

6. Effect of heat treatments on a "lean" chemical steel composition for cylinders

Prof. Andrea Di Schino (Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Università di Perugia, Via G. Duranti 93, 06125 Perugia, Italy)

15/10/2026, 12:10

Keynote Presentation (paper for journal's special issue)

The development of steel “lean” chemical composition to be adopted for cylinders application is increasingly requested, aimed to reduce the critical alloying elements content while preserving adequate mechanical performance. In this framework the analysis of the heat treatment effect (temperatures and cooling rates) on microstructure evolution (hence mechanical properties) is a key issue. This...
