A sample of ultra low carbon IF steel was processed by six-layer stack accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) and annealed. The ARB was conducted at ambient temperature after deforming the as-received material to a thickness of 0.5 mm by 50% cold rolling. The ARB was performed for a six-layer stacked, i.e. a 3 mm thick sheet, up to 3 cycles (an equivalent strain of ~7.0). In each ARB cycle, the stacked sheets were, first, deformed to 1.5 mm thickness by 50% rolling and then reduced to 0.5 mm thickness, as the starting thickness, by multi-pass rolling without lubrication. The specimen after 3 cycles was then annealed for 0.5 h at various temperatures ranging from 673 to 973 K. The microstructural evolution with the annealing temperature for the 3-cycle ARB processed IF steel was investigated in detail by transmission electron microscopy observation. The ARB processed IF steel exhibited mainly a dislocation cell lamella structure with relatively high dislocation density in which the subgrains were partially observed. The selected area diffraction (SAD) patterns suggested that the misorientation between neighboring cells or subgrains was very small. The thickness of the grains increased in a gradual way up to 873 K, but above 898 K it increased drastically. As a result, the grains came to have an equiaxed morphology at 898 K, in which the width and the thickness of the grains were almost identical. The grain growth occurred actively at temperatures above 923 K.

In the current study, Al-Mn-Zn alloys are strip-cast and used as the base alloy for the core of aluminum clad sheets used in automotive condenser fins. Transition elements such as Cu and Cr are added to the base core alloy in order to improve the properties of the clad sheets. The AA4343/Al-Mn-Zn-X(X: Cu, Cr)/AA4343 clad sheets are fabricated by roll bonding and further cold-rolled to a thickness of 0.08 mm. Clad sheets were intermediately annealed during cold rolling at $450^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain 40% reduction at the final thickness. Tensile strength and sag resistance of the clad sheets are improved by Cu additions to the core alloy, while corrosion resistance is also increased. Cr-additions to the clad sheets enhance sag resistance and provide low enough corrosion, although tensile strength is not improved. The effect of Cu and Cr additions on the properties of the clad sheets is elucidated by microstructural analysis.

Aluminum clad sheets for brazing materials in the automotive heat exchangers are required to exhibit both high strength and excellent erosion resistance. In this study, the effects of microstructural changes on the property of clad sheets due to thermomechanical treatment were investigated. The clad sheets were fabricated by roll bonding of twin-roll-cast AA3527 and AA4343 alloys followed by cold rolling down to a thickness of 0.22mm. Partial or full annealing was conducted at the final thickness in order to improved the erosion resistance while keeping the proper strength. Since full annealing was achieved for a temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, annealing treatments were performed at 360, 380, and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The tensile strength of 3527/4343 clad material was found to be inversely proportional to the annealing temperature before the brazing heat treatment. After this latter treatment, however, the tensile strength of the clad material was about 195~200MPa regardless of the annealing temperature. The erosion depth ratio of the clad annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ was 8.8% (the lowest), while that of the clad annealed at $380^{\circ}C$ was 17% (the highest). The effect of annealing temperature on the tensile and erosion properties of 3527/4343 aluminum clad sheets was elucidated by means of microstructural analyses.

CP (Commercially Pure) titanium has been widely used in various industries such as in energy plants and bio-materials because of an excellent corrosion resistance and its non-toxicity to the human body. But there are limitations for usage as structural materials due to low strength. The tensile properties of CP titanium could be improved by microstructure refinement such as in a SPD (Severe Plastic Deformation) process. However, high strengthening of CP titanium wire is impossible by SPD processes like ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing), HPT (High-Pressure Torsion), and the ARB (Accumulative Roll Bonding) process. The study purposes are to increase the strength of CP titanium wire by optimization of the cold drawing process and the harmonization with mechanical properties by heat treatments for the next forming process. The optimization process was investigated with regard to the design of drawing dies and the reduction ratio of cross sections. The elongations of high strength CP titanium were controlled by heat treatment.

본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 국내 최초 적용된 연속철근 콘크리트 개념의 얇은 덧씌우기 공법(CRCO : Thin Bonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlay)의 거동 특성을 살펴보았다. 서해안 고속도로의 폐도 구간에 CRCO 공법과 JCO 공법(Jointed Concrete Overlay)을 시험시공 하였으며, CRCO 공법에 삽입된 종방향 철근으로 효과를 검토하였다. 시험시공 후 균열 조사 결과, CRCO 구간의 기존 줄눈부에서부터 반사 균열이 발생하였으나 그 폭은 매우 좁았다. 철근의 구속역할로 인해 CRCO 공법에서 더 많은 균열이 발생하였으며, 그 간격은 CRCP 보다 더 좁았다. 부착강도 측정 결과, 표면 처리로 Cold Milling 후 이물질을 제거하여 초기에 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았다. 기존 JCP의 줄눈부에 수평으로 매설한 계측기 데이터분석 결과, 초기 균열 터짐 시 일정 폭 이상으로 벌어지지 못하게 종방향 철근이 잡아주는 역할을 하였으며, 온도변화에 대한 수평 변위 발생 억제 효과도 있었다. 하지만 층간 부착 문제가 발생할 경우, 철근의 구속 효과는 저감되었다. 수직 계측기의 데이터를 통해서 철근이 없는 JCO 공법에 비해 CRCO 공법은 종방향 철근 위치에서 층간 부착 문제가 발생하지 않았으며, 현장 코어링 작업을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 슬래브 내의 수평 거동을 분석한 결과, 초기에 철근의 구속으로 인해 CRCO 공법에서는 인장 변형률이, 구속이 미미한 JCO 공법은 압축력이 발생하였다. FWD 데이터 분석 결과, CRCO 공법의 처짐량이 JCO 보다 더 적게 발생하였으며, 지지력 평가에서는 전반적으로 덧씌우기 후가 더 크게 나타났으며, 특히 CRCO 공법이 JCO 공법에 비해 지지력에 대한 덧씌우기 두께 효과가 더 컸다.
