Ni-based superalloys have exceptional performance in high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, etc, and it has been widely used in various applications that require corrosion resistance at high-temperature operations. However, the relatively expensive cost of the Ni-based superalloys is one of the major hurdles. The corrosion-resisted alloy(CRA) clad materials can be a cost-effective solution. In this study, finite element analysis of the hot rolling process for manufacturing of the Alloy 625/API X65 steel CRA clad plates is conducted. The stress-strain curves of the two materials are measured in compressive tests for various temperature and strain rate conditions, using the Gleeble tester. Then, strain hardening behavior is modeled following the modified Johnson-Cook model. Finite element analysis of the hot rolled cladding process is performed using this strain rate and temperature dependent hardening model. Finally, the thickness ratio of the CRA and base material is predicted and compared with experimental values.

Cold and hot-rolled carbon steel sheets are commonly used in railroad cars or commercial vehicles such as the automobile. The sheets used in these applications are mainly fabricated by spot welding, which is a type of electric resistance welding. However, the fatigue strength of a spot-welded joint is lower than that of the base metal because of high stress concentration at the nugget edge of the spot-welded part. In particular, the fatigue strength of the joint is influenced by not only geometrical and mechanical factors but also the welding conditions for the spot-welded joint. Therefore, there is a need for establishing a reasonable criterion for a long-life design for spot-welded structures. In this thesis, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ relation curves have been used to determine a long-life fatigue-design criterion for thin-sheet structures. However, as these curves vary under the influence of welding conditions, mechanical conditions, geometrical factors, etc. It is very difficult to systematically determine a fatigue-design criterion on the basis of these curves. Therefore, in order to eliminate such problems, the welding residual stresses generated during welding and the stress distributions around the weld generated by external forces were numerically and experimentally analyzed on the basis of the results, reassessed fatigue strength of gas welded joints.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of adding 0.3at.%Hf in Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy on the variation of microstructures and hot workability. The effect of hot rolling on mechanical properties was estimated by measuring the elongation and tensile strength after rolling at 800 and 1000 respectively. Microstructure of Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy was consisted of large equiaxed grains and it was changed to quasi-equiaxed or columnar structures by adding 0.3at.%Hf to Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy. Every specimens showed a decreased tensile strength after hot rolling compared to that of before rolling. The elongation was increased by hot rolling. Remarkable changes in elongation by hot rollong was observed such as from 1.4% to 4.5% elongation at the specimen of 0.3at.%Hf added to Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr. Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy showed typical cleavage fracture on tensile failure and hot rolling has negligible effects on fracture mode in this alloy. However at the alloy containing Hf fracture mode was changed by hot rolling from intergranular to mixed intergranular and transgranular fracture mode.

In this study, we investigate the effects of austempering heat treatment on the processing window and mechanical properties in cast and hot-rolled Fe-0.7 C-2.3 Si-0.3 Mn steel. Each specimens were austenitised at $900^{\circ}C$ for 7 min, and austempered at $260^{\circ}C,\;320^{\circ}C$, and $380^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 2 min to 240 min. After heat treatment, the evaluation of stage I and stage II as performed by optical metallography, XRD, hardness test. Both cast and hot rolled specimens had similar processing window. So grain size effect is not important to the austempered high carbon high silicon cast steel. When the austempering temperature was $260^{\circ}C$, the microstructure consisted of the lower ausferrite while the upper ausferrite structure was formed at $380^{\circ}C$. As the austempering temperature increases from 260 to $380^{\circ}C$, the strength and hardness decreased, elongaton and volume fraction of austenite increased. In addition, there was no change of mechanical properties between cast and hot-rolled specimens.

Recently, a sheet forming process of Mg alloys is highlighted again due to increasing demand for Mg wrought alloys in the applications of casings of mobile electronics and outer-skins of light-weight transportation. Microstructure control is essential for the enhancement of workability and formability of Mg alloy sheets. In this research, AZ31 Mg alloy sheets were prepared by hot rolling process and the rolling condition dependency of the microstructure and texture evolution was studied by employing a conventional rolling mill as well as an asymmetric rolling mill. When rolled through multiple passes with a small reduction per pass, fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure evolved by repetitive dynamic and static recrystallization. With higher rolling temperature, dynamic recrystallization was initiated in lower reduction. However with increasing reduction per pass, deformation was locallized in band-like regions, which provided favorable nucleation sites f3r dynamic recrystallization. Through post annealing process, the microstructures could be transformed to more equiaxed and homogeneous grain structures. Textures of the rolled sheets were characterized by $\{0002\}$ basal plane textures and retained even after post annealing. On the other hand, asymmetrically rolled and subsequently annealed sheets exhibited unique annealing texture, where $\{0002\}$ orientation was rotated to some extent to the rolling direction and its intensity was reduced.

Plasma are melting method was used in making Mo-1.17 Ti-0.18 Zr-0.06 C ingot having over 99% of the theoretical density. Oxygen content herewith, decreased from the origin of 830ppm to 40ppm. After cold rolling of Mo alloy by 50%, the recrystallization behaviors were studied in the temperature range from $800^{\circ}C$ to $2100^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr isochronical holding time and also at $1400^{\circ}C$, $1500^{\circ}C$, $1600^{\circ}C$ for varying isothermal holding time 0 to 108000sec. The complete recrystallization temperature of Mo was $1400^{\circ}C$ but that of Mo alloy was $1700^{\circ}C$. 50%-1 hr recrystallization temperature of Mo alloy sheet was about $1500^{\circ}C$ and when compared to Mo there was an increase of over $300^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of recrystallization of Mo alloy sheet was 508kJ/mol.

After hot rolling, a high-temperature steel plate with a temperature higher than $800^{\circ}C$ is rapidly cooled by multiple circular water jets. In this cooling process, because the temperature of the steel plate is much higher than the boiling point of the cooling water, film-boiling heat transfer occurs and a very thin steam layer forms between the plate surface and the cooling water. The steam layer acts as a thermal resistance that prevents heat transfer between the cooling water and the steel plate. In addition to the film-boiling heat transfer, complex physical phenomena such as the free-surface flow of residual water that accumulated on the material and the material's high-speed motion also occur in the cooling process. In this study, the simultaneous cooling process of the upper and lower sides of a running hot steel strip is investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model and the cooling performances and characteristics of the upper-side cooling and lower-side cooling are compared.

This study evaluated the tensile properties of SAPH440, a hot-rolled steel for automotive structural applications, based on GMAW lap welding, the welding current, the welding voltage, and the feed rate. Tensile tests were performed according to the joint parameters of the GMAW process, for which specimens were fabricated according to KS B ISO 9018 by lap welding. The bead appearance was observed in each condition, and the weldability was evaluated by the tensile test. Higher the welding current resulted in a deeper weld, but the tensile strength was not significantly different from when the parameter was fixed due to the fracture of the base material. When the current was higher than the voltage, as in the case of a welding current of 200 A and welding voltage of 17 V, a large amount of spatter is generated, the welding is unstable, and the welded part breaks. Higher the voltage resulted in the bead not causing defects in general, and it also affected the weldability. If the current and voltage were too low, the welding was not performed normally, and the tensile strength could not be measured. However, as the current increased, the increase of the voltage and the feed rate did not affect the tensile strength.
