Al-coated steel sheets with excellent heat and corrosion resistance are widely used in various applications. In welding of thin plate, some defects such as unmelted zone and metal-through occur easily in the beginning and ending of welding line. In the study, the welding defects in Al-coated steel sheets were investigated with respect to plasma arc current, height between Cu block and base metals, and using a roller to align the height of the base metal. Full penetration and voids free welds were obtained with a plasma arc current 52A and weld speed 2.3m/min. An unmelted zone increased and Ericshen rate decreased as the height between Cu block and base metal increased from 0 to 0.6mm. Using a roller moving ahead of the plasma arc, the length of unmelted zone decreased from 1.7mm to 0.5mm.

This study has been performed to investigate forming limit of PCM(Pre-Coated Metal) widely using appliances. Die set was made for deep drawing test and some PCMs were inrectangular deep drawing test in no-lubricant 20% clearance some die materials(STD11(TiCN) STD11(HrC60) STD11(TD) AMOCO and 6mm/sec punch speed. and Ericshen test was performed in regular conditions In this experiment forming limit forming characteistics superior die materials and fracture of PCMs been investigated. In results tested PCMs have lower forming limit than base material because lower elongation ultimate strength than base material And two-fracture types - occurring band and flaking - of PCMs have been investiqated.
