A study was made of the influence of hot deformation on the transformation behaviour, the structure and the mechanical properties of a pearlitic steel containing 0.65% C. The production parameters of a modern hot strip mill were taken as a basis for the deformation schedule and cooling performed with the aid of a hot deformation simulator (Wumsi). Parameters to be pointed out as significantly influencing the transformation behaviour are, in particular, the finishing temperature and the cooling rate after hot deformation. By exploiting the possibility of raising the cooling rate after deformation in the same measure as is attainable on a hot strip mill, a yield strength increase of at least 150 MPa is achievable.
