Two types of secondary hardening martensitic steels, 10Co-14Ni and 6Co-5Ni, were produced by vacuum induction melting to investigate the effect of ausforming process on mechanical properties. According to the results of present study, the alloy samples ausformed at low temperature indicated a rather low hardness level in overall aging time despite the refinement of martensite lath width. As the result can closely be related with the presence of primary carbides precipitated within the initial austenite matrix, we confirmed that, in ultrahigh strength secondary hardening martensitic alloy steels, the ausforming process can rather limit the degree of secondary hardening during the subsequent aging treatment.

Laser surface hardening is an effective technique used to improve the tribological properties and also to increase the service life of automobile components such as camshafts, crankshatfs, lorry brake drums and gears. High power CO2 lasers and Nd:YAG lasers are employed for localized hardening of materials and hence are of potential application in the automobile industries. The heat is conducted rapidly into the bulk of the specimen causing self-quenching to occur and the formation of martensitic structure. In this investigation, the microstructure features occurring in Nd:YAG laser hardening SM45C steel are discussed with the use of optical microscopic and scanning electron microscopic analysis. Moreover, This paper describes the optimism of the processing parameters for maximum hardened depth of SM45C steel specimens of 3mm thickness by using CW Nd:YAG laser. Travel speed was varied from 0.6m/min to 1.0m/min. The maximum hardness and case depth fo SM45C steel are 780Hv and 0.4mm by laser hardening.

The effects of severe plastic deformation by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent heat treatment on the low cycle fatigue behaviors of Al-Mg-Si alloy were investigated. The specimens which were peak aged at $175^{\circ}C$ after solution treatment showed cyclic hardening at all strain amplitudes, while the specimens ECAPed after solution treatment showed cyclic softening at all strain amplitudes during fatigue. The specimens aged at $100^{\circ}C$ after ECAP showed slight cyclic hardening. Various changes of cyclic fatigue behavior after severe plastic deformation and/or heat treatment were discussed in terms of the microstructural changes and precipitation conditions.

자동차 차체를 제작하는 프레스 금형의 가공공정 중 제품의 형태를 완성하는 드로잉 공정 및 불필요한 부분을 절단하는 트리밍 공정은 그 공정의 특성상 금형의 마모가 심하기 때문에 금형의 내마모성을 향상시키기 위한 표면경화처리가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 프레스 금형에 레이저 표면처리기술을 적용하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 드로잉 공정 및 트리밍 공정에 적합한 표면경화처리를 위해 다이오드 레이저를 이용하여 시험편의 평면부 및 모서리부를 열처리하였으며, 각각의 적정 열처리 조건을 도출하였다. 또한 시험편의 재료에 따른 열처리 특성을 비교하기 위해 구상흑연 및 편상흑연 주철을 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 재료에 따른 열처리 특성에 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 적정 열처리된 조건에서의 경화부는 모재에 비하여 약 3배 정도의 경도상승을 나타내었다.

Gear reducers are widely used for various agricultural machinery applications such as greenhouses, tractors, and agricultural vehicles. However, thermal deformation and surface pitting at gear tooth flank frequently occur in gear reducers due to high torque. Thus, surface heat treatment of gears is required to improve wear and fatigue resistance. The objective of this study was to simulate the load capacity of the agricultural gear reducer. The simulation was performed for the following three surface heat treatment methods: untreated gears, nitriding heat treatment, and induction hardening method, those mostly used for agricultural gear reducers. The load capacity of the gear reducer was simulated using the safety factor, limit bending stress, and limit contact stress of the gear. The simulation of the load capacity was conducted using KISSsoft commercial software for gear analysis. The main results of simulation test were as follows: first, the nitriding heat treatment resulted in the highest safety factor for bending stress, which was increased about 77% from those of the untreated gears. Second, the induction hardening was the highest safety factor for contact stress, which was increased about 150% from those of the untreated gears. The safety factor for contact stress of the induction hardening was increased about 64% from those of the nitriding heat treatment. The study result suggested that the surface heat treatments could enhance load capacity and that the method of surface heat treatment should be determined based on simulation results for appropriate use scenarios.

Laser surface hardening technologies have been used to improve characteristics of wear and to enhance the fatigue resistance for automotive parts. The objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of the process parameters, such as power of laser and defocused spot position, on the characteristics of laser heat treatment for the case of SM45C medium carbon steel. CW Nd:YAG laser is selected as the heat source. The optical lens with the elliptical profile is designed to obtain a wide heat treatment area with a uniform hardness. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the maximum hardness is approximatly 780 Hv when the power and the travel speed of laser are 1,095 W and 0.6 m/min, respectively. In addition, the hardening width using the elliptical lens was three time larger than that using the defocusing of laser beam.
