TISEC's metallurgists have developed a comprehensive description of the behaviour of hydrogen in steel and its relation to various cracking phenomena produced during the cooling of blooms and billets. This multimedia CD ROM includes a summary of the legacy literature related to this phenomenon.  It also contains unique, original data and observations of the hydrogen diffusion, pressure build up and formative processes.  An accompanying computer program simulates the removal of hydrogen during cooling through a combined heat transfer and diffusion analysis giving hydrogen concentration and pressure profiles as a function of time and temperature.

This title is particularly valuable to metallurgists in mills that process blooms, rail, rod and similar shapes.  Bloom and billet holding times at elevated temperatures can be optimized to reduce hydrogen concentrations to target levels.
