Recent development of ultrafine grained (UFG) low carbon steels by using equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and their room temperature tensile properties are reviewed, focusing on the strategies overcoming their inherent mechanical drawbacks. In addition to ferrite grain refinement, when proper post heat treatments are imposed, carbon atom dissolution from pearlitic cementite during ECAP can be utilized for microstructural modification such as uniform distribution of nano-sized cementite particles or microalloying element carbides inside UFG ferrite grains and fabrication of UFG ferrite/martensite dual phase steel. The utilization of nano-sized particles is effective on improving thermal stability of UFG low carbon ferrite/pearlite steel but less effective on improving its tensile properties. By contrast, UFG ferrite/martensite dual phase steel exhibits an excellent combination of ultrahigh strength, large uniform elongation and extensive strain hardenability.

The effects of annealing temperature and time on mechanical properties and microstructures were studied in cold drawn pearlitic steel wires containing 0.84wt% Si. Annealing was performed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$ with different time of 30sec, 1min, 15min and 1hr. The increase of tensile strength at low temperature was related with strain ageing. The decrease of tensile strength at high annealing temperature was related with spherodization of cementite and the occurrence of recovery of the lamellar ferrite in the pearlite. The improvement of ductility was connected with spherodization of cementite plate in pearlite and recovery process by reduction of high dislocation density at short time annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents a study on defects in pearlite lamella structure of high carbon steel by means of finite-element method(FEM) simulation. High-carbon pearlite steel wire is characterized by its nano-sized microstructure feature of alternation ferrite and cementite. The likely fatigue crack is located on interface of the lamella structure where the maximum amplitude of the longitudinal shear stress and transverse shear stress was calculated during cyclic loading. The FEM is proposed for maximum shear stress from loading of lamella structure, and a method is predicted to analyze the likely fatigue crack generation. It is possible to obtain the important basic data which can be guaranteed in the ductility of high carbon steel wire by using FEM simulation.

Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) was studied phenomenologically and the effect of microstructure on HIC was discussed for the steels having two different levels of nonmetallic inclusions. Steels having different microstructures were produced by thermomechanically controlled processes (TMCP) from two different heats which had the different level of nonmetallic inclusions. Ferrite/pearlite (F/P), ferrite/acicular ferrite (F/AF), ferrite/bainite (F/B) were three representative microstructures for all tested steels. For the steels with higher level of inclusions, permissible inclusion level for HIC not to develop was different according to steelmicrostructure. On the contrary, HIC occurred also at the martensite/austenite (M/A) constituents regardless of steel microstructure when they accumulated to a certain degree. It was proved that M/A constituents were easily embrittled by hydrogen atoms. Steels having F/AF is resistant to HIC at a given actual service condition since they covers a wide range of diffusible hydrogen content without developing HIC.

Recently the ductile cast iron is being used successfully to the parts for processing machinery vessels and gear etc. This study is mainly concerned with the heat treatment for the specimens of crank shaft which are made of ductile cast iron. The results obtained are summarized as follows. Comparing the mechanical properties of the specimens for the normalized ductile cast irons the specimen heat treated at $550^{\circ}C$ was the best for crank shaft of air-compressor. After austenizing at $910^{\circ}C$ it was observed that the higher the reheating temperature is the less tensile strength and the hardness became which was supposedly attributed to the fact that the amount of pearlite. Austenite matrix was reduced by reheating after normalizing and that as the reheating tem-perature went up the pearlite generated was less and the distance between the pearlites were widened at last made pearlite globular. In the comparsison of crank shaft for air compressor made of ductile cast iron with that made by forged steel the crank shaft made of ductile cast iron was superior in economical terms. And ductile cast iron could be practically enough if only the elonga-tion which was inferior mechanical property to forged steel could be reinforced by increasing the diameter of crank pin when designing the crank shaft.

The forged iron axe found in the No. 2 wood-framed tomb (the middle 3rd century) of Hwangseongdong, Gyeongju is rectangular on the plane level. It shows an obtuse angle in the edge part, while the joint part has the both sides folded up and shows the traces of wood. Under the reflected light, the Iron axe shines in metal luster, which is bright light gray or light creamy colors. The result of x-ray diffraction analysis shows that the axe consists of magnetite and geothite, which can explain why the composition and structure of the original ore has been kept intact. The microtexture of the axe has the irregular network of ferrite and pearlite, and tile cementite of tiny amount in the ferrite background. The overall treatment of the texture seems to be thermal with a high ratio of carbon. There are fine-grained magnetite, wolframite, quartz, calcite, mica, hornblende and pyroxene inside the axe. Those must be the impurities that they failed to remove in the refining process. The normal ferrite is composed of pure iron whose $Fe_2O_3$ proportion is from 99.16 to $99.84\;wt.\%$. Other than them, the ferrite parts usually contain $Al_2O_3\;and\;SiO_2$. The irregular network of pearlite also contains Impurities including $Al_2O_3\;and\;SiO_2$ and shows highly diverse patterns of carbon content. It's because the axe was carburized after the material was made to resemble pure iron. The decarbonization work didn't go well along the process marks. It's estimated that the original ore was bloom produced in low-temperature reduction and formed around in $727^{\circ}C$, which is eutetic temperature.

This study is to investigate the mechanical properties and the fatigue crack propagation of fire resistance steel for frame structure as the chemical composition was changed by addition of N, B and rolled end temperature was varied. We used two kinds of specimen, the one is parallel and the other is perpendicular to the rolling directions. As rolled end temperature increased, volume fraction of ferrite and pearlite decreased, but volume fraction of baintie and grain size increased. Micro-hardness decreased as rolled end temperature increased, but tensile and yield strength increased. Volume fraction of ferrite and pearlite decreased by addition of N. But volume fraction of bainite, tensile and yield strength increased. Microstructure was changed to martensite by addition of B, and tensile and yield strength increased. Fatigue life of TL direction specimen was shorter than that of LT direction specimen. There was no significant effect to fatigue crack propagation rate by addition of N and changing rolling condition, but fatigue life was increased by addition of B.

Austenite formation and Low temperatures mechanical properties of HSLA steel of different starting structures have been studied by intercritical annealing(IA). The different starting structures are: ferrite+pearlite(FP1), martensite(M1), cold worked ferrite+pearlite(FP2) and cold worked martensite(M2). In most cases tensile strength and elongation was increased by decreasing the testing temperatures regardless of the IA time. Tensile strength of the cold worked starting structures was higher than that of the non-cold worked starting structures. However not any noticeable difference in elongation was found between two cases. Low temperatures impact properties were affected by the starting structures. Charpy V-notch impact transition temperatures of the M-starting structures were around $-40^{\circ}C$, and those of the FP starting structures were around $-10^{\circ}C$. Impact energy was lower in the cold worked specimens than in the non-cold worked specimens at the same starting structures. DP structure obtained from the M-starting structure has shown superior low temperatures mechanical properties than the DP structure obtained from the FP-starting structure.

In this study, the effect of Mo addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ductile cast iron have been investigated. The amounts of Mo and the thickness of specimen have been varied from 0 to 4.79wt% and 13mm, 10mm and 6mm, respectively. As the casting thickness decreases, the average size of spheroidal graphite is decreased and the hardness increases. By increasing the Mo content, the tensile strength of ferrite and pearlite matrix increases and shows maximum which is about $30{\sim}40%$ higher than ordinary ductile cast iron. After the maximum, adding more Mo results in gradual transformation of ferrite and pearlite to bainite and thus tensile strength decreases again. The elongation decreases continueously with Mo content. The addition of Mo about $0.5{\sim}1.0wt%$ improves the wear resistance and tensile strength of thin ductile cast iron.

The effect of the microstructure of gray cast iron on friction properties was investigated by using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Cast iron samples used in this investigation were obtained from "step block" castings, which were designed to produce microstructure with different graphite flake morphologies from different cooling rate and solidification rate. Results of this work showed that the gray cast iron disks with long graphite flakes showed less fading. The rotors containing smaller amounts of ferrite showed higher friction coefficient and better fade resistance than others.an others.
