This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the hot forging ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra high carbon steel. The microstructure of ultra high carbon steel with 1.5%wt.C consisted of a proeutectoid cementite network and acicular microstructure in pearlite matrix. With increasing hot forging ratio, the volume and thickness of the network and acicular proeutectoid cementite decreased. Lamella spacing and the thickness of eutectoid cementite decreased with increasing hot forging raito, and were broken up into particle shapes, which then became spheroidized. When the forging ratio was over 65%, the network and acicula shape of the as-cast state disappeared. With increasing hot forging ratio, hardness, tensile strength, elongation and impact value were not changed up to 50%, and then rapidly increased with the increase of the forging ratio.

This study deals with residual stress prediction and hardness evaluation within cross ball grooved inner race fabricated by cold upsetting process consisted of upsetting and ejection steps. A raw workpiece material of AISI 5120H (SCr420H) is first spheroidized and annealed, then phosphophyllite coated to form solid lubricant layer on its outer surface. To investigate influences of the heat treatment, uni-axial compression tests and Vickers micro-hardness measurements are conducted. Three-dimensional elasto-plastic FE simulations on the upsetting step and the ejection one are performed to visualize the residual stress and the ductile (plastic deformation) damage. External feature of the fabricated inner race is fully captured by using an optical 3D scanner, and the micro-hardness is measured on internal cross-sections. Consequently, the dimensional compatibility between the simulated inner race and the fabricated one is ensured with a difference of under 0.243mm that satisfied permissible error range of ±0.50mm on the grooved surface, and the predicted residual stress is verified to have similar distribution tendency with the measured Vickers micro-hardness.

입자를 부유 상태에서 소성할 수 있는 수직로를 이용하여 2 mm 이하 크기의 경량 세골재를 제조하고 그 물리적 특성을 고찰하였다. $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$에서 소성된 대부분 시편은 표면에 다량의 액상이 발달하였고 따라서 내부의 가스가 팽창하여 다공성의 중앙부와 상대적으로 치밀한 표피층이 형성되었다. 특히 압출 성형체를 파쇄시켜 얻은 부정형의 C 계열 시편은 $1300^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 소결하면 내부에 가스가 팽창하여 시편 전체가 부풀어져서 구형으로 되었다. 본 부유 수직로에서 소성된 시편의 겉보기 비중은 $0.68{\sim}1.08$ 범위로 대부분 물에 뜰 정도의 경량이었다. 제조된 경량 세골재의 흡수율은 기공율과 비례하였고, 따라서 내부 기공들이 완전 고립된 폐쇄기공은 아님을 나타내었다. 부유소성로에서 제조된 세골재는 전기 머플로에서 소성된 시편과 비슷한 물성을 나타내었으나, 전기로에서 나타나는 골재 간 융착 현상이 발생하지 않았다. 수직로에서 부유소성된 세골재의 내충격성은 자연골재보다 다소 낮았으나, 단위용적중량은 KS 규격 기준을 만족하였다.

The current study elucidates the effects of cementite spheroidization and pro-eutectoid ferrite on the sliding wear resistance in medium carbon (0.45wt%C) and high carbon (1wt%C) steels. Both steels were initially heat treated to obtain a fully pearlite or ferrite + pearlite microstructure. Spheroidizing heat treatments were performed on both steels to spheroidize the pearlitic cementite. Sliding wear tests were conducted using a pin-on-disk wear tester with the steel specimens as the disk and an alumina ($Al_2O_3$) ball as the pin. The sliding wear tests were carried out at room temperature in air with humidity of $40{\pm}2%$. Adapted sliding distance and applied load was 300m and 100N, respectively. Sliding speed was 0.1m/s and the wear-track radius was 9 mm. Worn surfaces and cross-sections of the wear track were examined using an SEM. Micro Vickers hardness of the wear-track subsurface was measured as a function of depth from the worn surface. Hardness and sliding-wear resistance of both steel decreased with increased spheroidization of the cementite. The decrease was more significant in the fully pearlitic steel (1wt%C steel). The steel with the pro-eutectoid ferrite showed relatively higher wear resistance compared to the spheroidized pearlitic steel.

적절한 가공조건을 통하여, 중 탄소강에서 SIDT를 적용하여 페라이트-시멘타이트 미세조직이 압연 직후에 얻어졌다. 또한 이와 같은 조건은 압하온도 $690^{\circ}C$, 높이 감소율 $70\%$ (변형량 1.2) 및 변형율 속도 1/s에서 가공하였을 때 얻어졌으며, 가공 직후 $730^{\circ}C$로 승온하여 약 30분간 유지 후 서냉한 조건에서 매우 연한 미세조직이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이는 기존 20 시간 이상의 구상화 열처리에 비해 매우 짧은 시간이며, 구상화 열처리를 통한 경험한 미세조직과 유사한 특성을 나타낼 것으로 예상된다.

This research presents a preparation method of dental components by metal injection molding process (MIM process) using titanium scrap. About $20{\mu}m$ sized spherical titanium powders for MIM process were successfully prepared by a novel dehydrogenation and spheroidization method using in-situ radio frequency thermal plasma treatment. The effects of MIM process parameters on the mechanical and biological properties of dental components were investigated and the optimum condition was obtained. After sintering at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in vacuum, the hardness and the tensile strength of MIMed titanium components were 289 Hv and 584 MPa, respectively. Prepared titanium dental components were not cytotoxic and they showed a good cell proliferation property.

Various types of steel, namely, 0.35C, 0.2C-Cr, and 0.2C-Cr-Mo steels, were quenched and tempered by high-frequency induction heat treatment. The type, size, and spheroidization of the carbides varied depending on the tempering temperatures ($450{\sim}720^{\circ}C$). During the tempering process, the carbide was precipitated in the martensite matrix. The 0.35C, 0.2C-Cr, and 0.2C-Cr-Mo steels contained carbides that were smaller than 120 nm. The carbide was spheroidized as the tempering temperature increased. Owing to the fine microstructure and spheroidization of the carbides, all three steels had a high tensile strength as well as yield ratio and reduction of area. In the case of the 0.2C-Cr steel, the use of Cr as an alloying element facilitated the precipitation of alloyed carbides with an extremely small particle and resulted in an increase in the spheroidization rate of the carbides. As a result, a large reduction of area was achieved (>70%). The 0.2C-Cr-Mo steel had the highest tensile strength because of the high hardenability that can be attributed to the presence of alloying elements (Cr and Mo). Quenching and tempering steels by induction heat treatment resulted in a high strength of over 1 GPa and a large reduction of area (>70%) because of the rapid heating and cooling rates.
