In this study, an experiment in the field was performed to analyze the mechanical properties and the influence of steel fiber and silica fume on the rebound ratios of shotcrete. The experimental parameters which are the reinforcing methods (steel fiber, wire mesh), steel fiber contents (0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%), silica fume contents (0.0%, 10.0%), layer thickness (60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm), and the placing parts (sidewall, shoulder, crown) were chosen. From the mechanical test, it was found that the flexural strength and toughness is significantly improved by the steel fiber and/or silica fume. According to the results for the side wall in this test, the larger the fiber contents are in case of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete, the less the rebound ratios are within the range of 20-35%, compared to the wire mesh reinforced shotcrte. And also, the reduced rebound ratios were very larger in using steel fiber reinforced shotcrete with silica fume content of 10%, and these results are true of the shoulder and the crown. respectively.

Contemporary objectives for steel rod rolling processing are increasingly complex and often contrasting i.e. obtaining a desired product with optimum combination of properties such as strength, toughness and formability at lower cost. Low-alloy steel rods have been produced with several heat treatments for drawing and forging processes at room temperature. In order to reduce these heat treatments much of the researches concerning of high temperature mechanical behavior of steel rods have been conducted at wire rod mill of POSCO. In this present work, optimizations of rolling temperature and cooling rate for JS-SCM435 are performed to eliminate softening heat treatment(Low Temperature Annealing) for drawing process. The results from the optimization changed the microstructure of rods after rod rolling from Bainite with high tensile strength of 1000Mpa to Pearlite and Ferrite with appropriate strength of 750Mpa that is equivalent tensile strength after softening heat treatment.

Steel cord which is used as reinforcement in car tires is produced by wet-drawing process. Recently the quality improvement of the steel cord product is demanded by the tire market. After cold drawing process, produced residual stresses have a harmful effect on the durability of the wire and become the cause which decreases the quality of the product. Therefore, to improve the quality of the steel cord product, the research regarding the method of residual stress relaxation is necessary. To evaluate the quality of the cold drawn wire, it is very important to measure the residual stress, because the residual stress decides a variety of the quality level which is demanded in the cold drawn wire. The aim of this study is to propose residual stress relaxation method in the drawn wire using FE-analysis. The validity of the analysis results was verified by Nano indentation test.

Recently, the production of oil and gas at the arctic ocean and offshore has been growing. Accordingly, S500 steel with the high tensile strength and excellent toughness has been used and flux cored wire that can be welded to the S500 has been required. In this study, we carried out observation of microstructures, mechanical properties and CTOD (crack tip openning displacement) in the weld zone that GMA (gas metal arc) welded with different component of $TiO_2$ flux core wire (the main components, rutile or Ti-slag) for S500 steel. Weld zone produced with Ti-slag flux cored wire has formed a enough acicular ferrite and shown excellent impact toughness at $-40^{\circ}C$, tensile strength at room temperature and CTOD at $-20^{\circ}C$. As a result, the developed flux cored wire was suitable for S500 steel.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural and shear capacity of steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs. In order to evaluate flexural and shear capacity, we make five 150mmspecimens and three 200mmspecimens by slab depth as main variable. Each series of specimen is comprised of an existing steel wire-integrated deck-plate slab and two specimens using topping depth as variable. From the series of experiments, steel wire-integrated void deck plate slabs has any decline in flexural and shear performance. Therefore, a void-deck-plate slab which inserts Omega-steel plate showed reducing a using concrete-volume and had flexural and shear capacity following existing steel wire-integrated deck-plate.

The high speed in the wire-drawing process to meet the demands for the increased productivity has a great effect on the heat generated due to plastic deformation and friction between the wire and the drawing dies. During the high carbon steel wire drawing process, the temperature rise gives a great influence to the fracture of wire. In this paper, to control the temperature rise in the wire after the deformation through the drawing die, the calculation method of the wire temperature, which includes the temperature rise in the deformation zone as well as the temperature drop in the block considering the heat transfer among the wire, cooling water and surrounding air, is proposed. These calculated results of the wire temperature at the inlet and exit of the drawing die at each pass are compared with the measured wire temperatures and verified its efficiency. So, using the program to predict the wire temperature, the isothermal pass schedule program was developed. By applying this isothermal pass schedule program to the conventional process condition, a new isothermal pass schedule is redesigned through all passes. As a result, the possibility of wire fracture could be considerably reduced and the productivity of final product could be more increased than before.

The effect of heat treatment on torsion characteristics of high nitrogen steel wire has been studied by using torsion test, micro vickers hardness and scanning electron microscopy. After heat treatment at $600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$, the torsion cycle was increased with increasing temperature. Especially, in case of high nitrogen steel wire heat treated at $600^{\circ}C$, the torsion cycle was sharply increased. It is estimated that the cold-worked high nitrogen steel wire started to recrystallize around at $650^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere.

In this study, the physical characteristics of steel-wire sound absorbing materials with different thickness and bulk density is experimentally obtained in terms of the porosity and specific flow resistivity. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions can be made. The porosities of steel-wire sound absorbing materials are smaller than those of general absorbing materials, which are inversely proportional to the volume densities. For the porosity measurement with a good accuracy, the dynamic correction based on the system compliance should be involved in porosity measurement. In addition, the flow condition for the precise measurement of the specific flow resistivity of steel-wire sound absorbing materials should be limited in the laminar flow region.

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.

Acoustic performances of the steel-wire fabrics manufactured from the crushed tires were experimentally investigated for various thicknesses and bulk densities. The well- known two-cavity method was used to measure the characteristic impedances, the propagation constants, and the absorption coefficients. The normal absorption coefficients measured by the two-cavity method agreed well with those measured by the two-microphone impedance tube method. The experimental results showed that the magnitude and frequency range of the absorption coefficient were controllable by changing the thickness and the bulk density of the steel-wire fabrics. Therefore, the steel-wire fabrics from the crushed tires can be successfully used as a good sound absorbing material.
