Recently, boss and rib test based on backward extrusion process was proposed to quantitatively evaluate the interfacial friction condition in bulk forming process. In this test, the tube-shaped punch with hole pressurizes the workpiece so that the boss and rib are formed along the hole and outer surface of the punch. It was experimentally and numerically revealed that the height of boss is higher than that of the rib under the severe friction condition. This work is focused on the effect of the punch design and flow stress on deformation pattern in boss and rib test. From the boss and rib test simulations, it was found that there is slight variation in both the heights of boss and rib according to the length of punch land, nose radius, and face angle. However the hole diameter of the punch and the clearance between the punch and die have a significant influence on the calibration curves showing the heights of the boss and rib. In addition, the effect of flow stress on the calibration curves was investigated through FE simulations. It was found that there is no effect of strength coefficient of the workpiece on the calibration curves for estimation of friction condition. On the other hand, the strain-hardening exponent of the workpiece has a significant influence on the calibration curve.

The effect of intercritical annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-9Mn-0.2C-3Al-0.5Si medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni is investigated in this study. Six kinds of medium manganese steels are fabricated by varying the chemical composition and intercritical annealing temperature. Hardness and tensile tests are performed to examine the correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties for the intercritical annealed medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni. The microstructures of all the steels are composed mostly of lath ferrite, reverted austenite and cementite, regardless of annealing temperature. The room-temperature tensile test results show that the yield and tensile strengths decrease with increasing intercritical annealing temperature due to higher volume fraction and larger thickness of reverted austenite. On the other hand, total and uniform elongations, and strain hardening exponent increase due to higher dislocation density because transformation-induced plasticity is promoted with increasing annealing temperature by reduction in reverted austenite stability.

In the present study, the effect of annealing condition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the cold-rolled CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloys were studied. Annealing treatment was performed under six different temperatures. Microstructural analyses confirmed that annealing below 800℃ resulted in the formation of intermetallic sigma (σ) phase within face-centered cubic (FCC) matrix, and this σ phase has beneficial effects on the formation of fine-grained structures through retardation of grain growth and recrystallization due to Zener pinning effect. This led to the enhanced yield strength and tensile strength of ~646 and ~855 MPa, respectively. The microstructures annealed above 800℃ demonstrated single FCC phase, and fully-recrystallized single FCC microstructure resulted in a slight increase in ductility with a considerable decrease in strength. The evolution of mechanical properties, such as strength, ductility, and strain hardening exponent, will be discussed.

Effects of $CaCN_2$ addition on the grain refinement in the AM60 magnesium ingots were investigated. The effects of the $CaCN_2$ are estimated with different inoculation temperatures, inoculation contents, and holding time to find out the optimum condition. AM60 alloy was melted in the low carbon steel crucible by cylindrical electric furnace under an argon atmosphere. The melting and casting apparatus is specially designed for magnesium alloys. The grain size of AM60 magnesium alloy decreased significantly with an increase in $CaCN_2$ content and, at 0.8 wt% $CaCN_2$ or more, grain size becomes constant at about $85 {\mu}m$. The optimum condition was obtained in the 0.8 wt% $CaCN_2$ for holding molten metal of 30 min. at the temperature of $710^{\circ}C$. The tensile properties of AM60 magnesium alloys were improved due to grain refinement by addition of $CaCN_2$. In the optimum condition, the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation were ${\sigma}_{0.2}=107 MPa$, ${\sigma}_{T.S}=234 MPa$ and e=14.2%. The variation of stress with strain obeyed the relationship of the ${\sigma}=K{\varepsilon}^n$. The strain-hardening exponent, n and strength coefficient, K obtained in the 0.8 wt% $CaCN_2$ added AM 60 magnesium alloy were n=0.21 and K=390 MPa.

Automotive manufactures have taken more interests in tailored sheet metals for improving the rigidity, weight reduction, crash durability, and cost savings so that their application to auto-bodies has been increased. However, since the tailored sheet metals do not behave like un-welded sheet metals in press forming operations, the stamping engineers no longer rely only on conventional forming techniques. Futhermore, there is no clear understanding of the characteristics of welded metal which influence the overall press formability of tailored sheet metals. Recently, the computer simulations are prevailing for the evaluation of the formability. Unfortunately, the mechanical property of tailored sheet metal has to be quantitatively defined in the simulation. In this study, the analytical equations are formulated in order to find the mechanical properties of the welded metal in the tailored sheet metal welded by co$_2$laser. Based on force distribution assumption, the constitutive behavior of the welded metal is investigated using uniaxial tensile test results of base metals and tailored sheet metal. Then, the strength coefficient, work-hardening exponent, and plastic strain ratio of laser-welded metal are calculate from those of base metals and tailored sheet metal. In addition, the existence of weld defects in the welded metal is indirectly detected by examining the slop of strength coefficient of the welded metal.

본 연구에서는 역해석 방법을 통해, 중심각이 서로 다른 두 삼각뿔 압입자를 이용하는 재료물성 평가법을 제안한다. 자기유사성을 갖는 첨단형 압입자를 사용한 압입시험 전산모사시, 동일 압입깊이에 대해 원뿔형 및 삼각뿔 압입자가 주는 하중-변위 곡선들이 다름을 확인했다. 따라서 삼각뿔형 압입자를 이용한 물성평가는 원뿔형 압입자와 별도로 독립적인 연구가 필수적이다. 먼저 다양한 재료들에 대한 삼각뿔 압입 유한요소해석들로 얻은 하중-변위 곡선들의 특징을 살폈다. 이를 토대로 압입자 반각이 다른 두 삼각뿔 압입자를 이용해 유한요소해석으로 얻은 하중-변위곡선들의 회귀분석으로 재료물성치를 얻는 이중 삼각뿔 압입물성평가 알고리듬을 제시했다. 제안된 물성평가법을 이용하면 다양한 재료에 대해 평균오차 3% 이내로 영률 및 항복강도, 변형경화지수의 예측이 가능하다.

본 논문에서는 휜 광폭평판의 두께와 폭, 균열길이 그리고 가공경화지수의 변화가 휜 광폭평판의 균열부 구속상태에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 5가지의 휜 광폭평판 두께, 3가지의 균열길이, 3가지의 휜 광폭평판 폭 그리고 3가지의 가공경화지수를 고려한 3차원 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. Ramberg-Osgood 관계식을 만족하는 비선형 재료로 가정하였으며 균열부 구속상태를 정량화하기 위해서 Q-응력을 이용하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석 결과를 바탕으로 기하학적 형상 및 재료특성에 따른 휜 광폭평판의 Q-응력 변화를 평가하였다. 평가 결과 면외 구속조건에 의한 영향은 면내 구속조건과 밀접한 관계가 있었으며, 면외 구속조건이 면내 구속조건 보다 균열부 구속상태에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤다.
