In this study, formability and springback behavior of 1.5 GPa grade ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) sheet were predicted through the finite element simulation, and structural stability of the forming dies was verified by the coupled forming-structural analysis. Uniaxial tension and uniaxial tension-compression tests were performed to obtain experimental data for modeling the springback properties of the sheet material. The springback values predicted by simulation were compared with those from actual measurements. The results calculated from the kinematic hardening model were found to be much more accurate than those from the isotropic hardening model. Deformation of the forming die and springback of the product were calculated by the coupled forming-structural analysis. The higher the strength of the die material, the smaller the surface displacement of the die and the springback of the product. The internal stresses of the dies made of three materials, FC300, FCD550 and STD11 were compared with the yield stress of each material. The results provided a basis for determining the most suitable material for each part of the die set. As a result, simulation techniques have been established for predicting formability and springback in the UHSS sheet forming process.

The present study is aimed at developing the TRIP(transformation induced plasticity) aided high strength low carbon steel using reversion process. An excellent combination of elongation over 40% and tensile strength abut 100kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ achieved in processing of 0.15C-0.5 Si-6Mn steel by slow heating to intercritial temperature region and accelerated cooling into room temperature. This good combination is caused by TRIP phenomena of retained austenite in steels during deformation. The stability of retained austenite is very important for the good ductility and it depends on the diffusion of carbon and manganeses during heat treatment. The accelerated cooling after holding at annealing temperature retards the formation of pearlite and provides the carbon enrichment in retained austenite in steel, resulting in the increase in elongation of the cold-rolled TRIP steel. On the other hand, heat treating the steel at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hour before cold rolling increases elongation but reduces the amount of retained austenite after reversion processing. It is accounted that the heat treating is effective for the increase in the stability of retained austenite.

The purpose of this study is to produce a side impact beam with high tensile steel using a roll forming process. The door side impact beam plays an important roll in a car because it protects passengers from external crash. The roll forming process is a continuous bending process wherein a long metal sheet is bended as it continuously passes several rolls. The characteristic of this study is that an impact beam is produced by a continuous process using a ultra high strength steel without a hardening heat treatment. A model was determined by analysing plasticity of a cross section shape considering high strength. Design parameters of the impact beam was determined by crash-analysing the model. Workpiece products were manufactured by designing dies for roll forming and setting them up in a following process line. Results of a bending test and a FEM analysis was considered and reviewed.

자동차 부품의 경량화를 위해서 초고강도강의 사용이 확대됨에 따라 판재성형 공정에서 초고강도 강판의 스프링백 제어의 중요성이 점차로 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고강도 소재를 사용한 U 형채널 부품의 성형을 위해서 사용되는 다단공정에서 공정 변수들이 스프링백에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 해석을 위해서는 유한요소법이 사용되었으며, 주요 공정 변수는 공정수, 금형 각도, 금형 반경, 펀치성형방향이다. 단공정에 비해서 다단공정이 스프링백을 아주 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었으며, 금형반경과 펀치성형방향의 각도가 작을수록 스프링백 제어에 효과적이었다. 그러나 금형 각도의 영향은 크지 않았다.

The application of relatively low volumes of fibres in normal strength concrete has been shown to be of significant benefit when applied to composite slabs with profiled sheet decking. This paper reports on an experimental study aimed at quantifying further potential benefits that may arise from applying ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete. To assess performance six simply supported beams were tested under hogging and sagging loading configurations along with three two span continuous beams. Fibre contents are varied from 0% to 2% and changes in strength, deformation, crack width and moment redistribution are measured. At the serviceability limit state, it is shown that the addition of high fibre volumes can significantly enhance member stiffness and reduce crack widths in all beams. At the ultimate limit state it is observed that a transition from 0% to 1% fibres significantly increases strength but that there is a maximum fibre volume beyond which no further increases in strength are possible. Conversely, member ductility and moment redistribution are shown to be strongly proportional to fibre volume.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the influence of hardness of tool materials on wear resistance in the sheet metal forming process. Punches used in the wear test were made of STD-11 and K340 tool material, and the tempering temperature was set to 530℃ and 500℃, respectively, to control the hardness of the tool materials. The punches mimic the shape of stamping tool of automotive body component to reflect its plastic deformation, and are designed to concentrate wear on the curvature region of punches. Progressive die and coil sheet were used to save time, cost, and raw sheet materials. By quantitatively measuring the wear depth of the punches, the wear behavior and mechanism of the punches were investigated, and characteristics of hardness and wear resistance according to tool materials and tempering temperatures were evaluated. Testing results indicate that the punch made of K340 tool steel with higher hardness had better wear resistance than that of STD-11 tool steel, and the hardness and wear resistance of tool steel were significantly impacted by the tempering temperature.

The use of materials for modern lightweight auto-bodies is becoming more complex than hitherto assemblies. The high strength materials nowadays frequently used for more specific fields such as the front and rear sub frames, seat belts and seats are mounted to the assembled body structure using bolt joints. It is desirable to use nuts attached to the assembled sheets by projection welding to decrease the number of loose parts which improves the quality. In this study, nut projection welding was carried out between a nut of both boron steel and carbon steel and ultra-high strength hot-stamped steel sheets. Then, the joints were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by microhardness measurements and pullout tests. An indigenously designed sample fixture set-up was used for the pull-out tests to induce a tensile load in the weld. The fractography analysis revealed the dominant interfacial fracture between boron steel nut weld which is related to the shrinkage cavity and small size fusion zone. A non-interfacial fracture was observed in carbon steel nut weld, the lower hardness of HAZ caused the initiation of failure and allowed the pull-out failure which have higher in tensile strengths and superior weldability. Hence, the fracture load and failure mode characteristics can be considered as an indication of the weldability of materials in nut projection welding.

본 논문에서는 소재의 강도에 따라 U 채널형상 제품의 판재성형공정에서 발생하는 스프링백 현상의 산포경향의 분석을 수행하였다. 성형공정의 유한요소해석 및 신뢰성 기반 최적화 기법을 적용하여 인장강도, 항복강도, 소재 두께 등 재질 산포와 마찰계수와 패딩력 등의 공정 산포를 고려하여 산포해석을 실시하였다. 산포해석 결과 산포에 유의한 영향을 미치는 인자는 항복강도와 인장강도 순으로 나타났으며, 소재의 인장강도가 클수록 스프링백 양은 증가하는 반면 스프링백의 산포량이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 주요 변형이 발생하는 펀치 어깨부와 다이 어깨부의 변형률과 응력 산포 분석을 통하여 스프링백 산포량 감소의 원인을 분석하였다. 본 논문에 제안된 산포분석기법을 활용할 경우 불가피하게 발생하는 성형공정의 산포를 예측하고 대응이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In the present work, the ductile fracture behaviors of ultra-high strength steel sheets along the different loading directions are investigated under various loading paths. Three loading paths, i.e., in-plane shear, uniaxial tension, plane strain tension deformations, are considered, and the corresponding specimens are described. The experiments are conducted using the digital image correlation (DIC) system to analyze the strain at the onset of the fracture. The experimental results show that the loading path for each specimen sample is linear, and different values of the fracture strains for the loading direction from the plane strain tension are observed. The ductile fracture model of the modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC) is constructed based on the experimental data and evaluated along the rolling direction and transverse direction under various loading paths.
