Abstract

Today, a better understanding of the development of microstructures and internal stresses during heat treatment is achieved through modelling and numerical simulations.The key point is to take into account the phase transformations and the induced couplings with the thermomechanical behaviour of the material.These phenomena and their present modelling are reviewed for different metallic alloys, mainly steels, aluminium and titanium alloys.
