Thermo-mechanical processing is analyzed by dealing with a few case studies and addressing the current capabilities of introducing microstructure features during their large scale modeling. The main goal of the current research program is the design of economic ways of abstracting complex microstructural data and microstructure development processes to be introduced on simulation models. We explore phase transformations and variant selection together with hardening mechanisms and development of dislocation arrays. They are alternatively applied to model materials under simple deformation paths and also to technological problems like deep drawing of low carbon steels.
