The hot working of steel involves a wide range of microstructural reactions, including both static and dynamic effects. The modeling of these processes has been at both a fundamental and applied level. The models have been developed to the stage where they have been used for design and control of rolling mills, the prediction of mechanical properties, and the support of fundamental research. One of the major trends in recent years has been to combine models that work over different scale lengths (i.e., from continuum down to molecular level) to provide greater insight and improved accuracy.
