Microstructures and mechanical properties of variously heat treated 0.85% carbon steel(eutectoid steel) were evaluated by magnetic property measurements. Microstructural analysis (pearlite interstellar spacing), measurement of mechanical properties(Rockwell hardness, yield stress, fracture stress) and magnetic properties(coercivity, remanence, hysteresis loss, saturation magnetization) were performed to clarify mutual relationships among these parameters. Water quenched specimens with martensite structure showed much higher coercivity and remanence than air cooled or furnace cooled specimens with pearlite structure. The linear dependence of coercivity and remanence on pearlite interlamellar spacing as well as on Rockwell hardness, yield stress and fracture stress was observed in the pearlitic steel. Hysteresis loss and saturation magnetization showed no distinct trend with pearlite interlamellar spacing.

Recently, in the apartment house of our country, office building, apartment, and etc, the lightweight composite panel is much used as the partition wall body. This is due to be very convenient when the execution and dismantling is convenient and it forms the space which the consumer in the space desires. Therefore, in this research, the thermal conductivity property of the lightweight composite panel core according to the replacement ratio variation of the pearlite tries to be analyze. As the density test result and replacement ratio of the pearlite increased, the density showed the tendency to rise. the replacement ratio of the pearlite increased, the absorption rate showed the tendency to fall. And this is determined that absorption rate is degraded due to the increase in the density. the thermal conductivity test result and pearlite replacement ratio increased, the tendency that the thermal conductivity increases was represented.

This study examines the effect of microstructural factors on the strength and deformability of ferrite-pearlite steels. Six kinds of ferrite-pearlite steel specimens are fabricated with the addition of different amounst of Mn and V and with varying the isothermal transformation temperature. The Mn steel specimen with a highest Mn content has the highest pearlite volume fraction because Mn addition inhibits the formation of ferrite. The V steel specimen with a highest V content has the finest ferrite grain size and lowest pearlite volume fraction because a large amount of ferrite forms in fine austenite grain boundaries that are generated by the pinning effect of many VC precipitates. On the other hand, the room-temperature tensile test results show that the V steel specimen has a longer yield point elongation than other specimens due to the highest ferrite volume fraction. The V specimen has the highest yield strength because of a larger amount of VC precipitates and grain refinement strengthening, while the Mn specimen has the highest tensile strength because the highest pearlite volume fraction largely enhances work hardening. Furthermore, the tensile strength increases with a higher transformation temperature because increasing the precipitate fraction with a higher transformation temperature improves work hardening. The results reveal that an increasing transformation temperature decreases the yield ratio. Meanwhile, the yield ratio decreases with an increasing ferrite grain size because ferrite grain size refinement largely increases the yield strength. However, the uniform elongation shows no significant changes of the microstructural factors.

The current study was conducted to elucidate the effect of cementite morphology and matrix-ferrite microstructure on sliding wear behavior in spheroidized high carbon (1wt. % C) steel. The high carbon steel was initially heat treated to obtain a full pearlite or a martensite microstructure before the spheroidization. The spheroidizing heat treatment was performed on the full pearlitic steel for 100 hours at 700℃ and tempering was performed on the martensitic steel for 3 hours at 650℃. A spheroidized cementite phase in a ferrite matrix was obtained for both the full pearlite and the martensite microstructures. Sliding wear tests were conducted using a pin-on-disk wear tester with the heat treated steel as the disk specimen. An alumina(Al₂O₃) ball was used as the pin counterpart during the test. After the spheroidizing heat treatment and the tempering, both pearlite and martensite exhibited similar microstructures of spheroidized cementite in a ferrite matrix. The spheroidized pearlite specimens had lower hardness than the tempered martensite; however, the wear resistance of the spheroidized pearlite was superior to that of the tempered martensite.

The purpose of present investigation is to obtain ductile cast iron with ferrite-bainite matrix by pearlite-bainite transformation treatment. Ductile cast irons having three kinds of Mn ampunt had been manufactured. Mn increased pearlite volume fraction iin as-cast ductile cast iron. Ductile cast irons of different pearlite fraction were austenitized at $875\;^{\circ}C$ for 230-350 sec or $925\;^{\circ}C$ for 130-170 sec followed by austempering at $300\;^{\circ}C$ or $400\;^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 5 to 30 min. When specimen was austenitixed for 130 sec at $925\;^{\circ}C$ and for 230 sec at $875\;^{\circ}C$, pearlite was transformed into austenite. Bainite around graphite was found at $925^{\circ}C$ for 170 sec. Bainite in grain boundary of ferrite was happened at $875^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec. During the austempering process, acicular bainite was precipitated at $300^{\circ}C$ and lath bainite was precipitated at $400^{\circ}C$. Increment in manganese content restrained bainitic transformation. Retained austenie was of little quantity.

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.

The objective of this study was presented with a prediction on the alignment of cementite in pearlite lamella structure of high carbon steel by means of finite-element method(FEM) simulation. Pearlite strcuture was characterized by its nano-sized microstructure feature of alternation ferrite and cementite. FEM simulations were performed based on a suitable FE model describing the boundary conditions and the material behavior. With the alignment of lamella structure in high carbon pearlite steel wire, material plastic behavior was taken into account on plastic deformation and alignment of cementite. The effects of many important parameters(reduction in area, semi-die angle, initial angle of cementite ) on wire drawing process were predicted by DEFORM-2D. As the results, the possibility of wire fracture could be considerably reduced and the productivity of final product could be more increased than before.

Recently, the trend for structure is being changed from wall construction to rhamen construction. rhgamen construction reduces floor noise and selfweight in structures. The amount of lightweight panels used in rhamen construction is also increasing. Also, Worldwide refinery industry is a large amount of sulfur is produced by develrop ment. Sulfur is resistant to freezing and thawing. Terefore, this study focuses on the density and absorption of magnesium oxide matrix that contains wood powder and pearlite to replace lightweight panel for rhamen construction. Adding pearlite 15% has the lowest density but, it has the highest absorption.
