Low carbon steel of composition 0.05C - 0.18 Mn - 0.012 Si is intercritically annealed at temperatures $750^{\circ}C$, $775^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. The equilibrated alloys of different amounts of austenite with varying carbon contents are quenched in iced water. The same alloys are subcritically annealed at $675^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ for varying periods of times; the subcritically annealed alloy samples are quenched in iced water. Optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy are carried out for all the samples. The dislocation structure, its distribution and density present in the above prepared duplex ferrite martensite steels are studied. The martensites are found to be highly dislocated due to lattice invariant deformation. At the same time ferrite adjoining the martensite areas also exhibits quite a high dislocation density. The high dislocation density is favorable for strain ageing and hence bakes hardenability. EDS analyses were carried out for both martensite and ferrite phases; it is found that the degree of supersaturation in ferrite together with carbon content in martensite varies with the process parameters. The microhardness test results show that the hardness values of different phases differ appreciably with process parameters. The microstructures and the corresponding microanalyses reveal that differently processed steels contain phases of varying compositions and different distribution.

신구 콘크리트 접합부에서는 굽힌 후 편 철근을 이용한 이음이 발생한다. 철근의 굽힘과 펴는 과정에는 필연적으로 소성 변형이 발생하며, 이 과정에서 가공 경화, 바우싱거 효과, 시효 경화 현상이 발생된다. 이 연구에서는 강종, 지름, 굽힘 내면 반지름, 굽힌 후 펴기까지의 존치기간을 변수로 굽힌 후 편 철근의 인장에 대한 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 굽힌 후 편 철근은 비례한계점이 낮아지는 비선형성이 직선 철근에 비해 일찍 발생되었으며, 항복마루 없이 바로 변형경화가 발생하였다. 이것은 굽힘 가공에서 압축을 받은 부분의 바우싱거 효과에 의해 항복점이 낮아졌고, 굽힘 가공에서 인장을 받은 부분의 가공 경화에 의해 항복마루가 없어졌기 때문이다. 높은 강종일수록 항복강도의 저하가 크게 발생되었으며, SD400 철근의 항복강도는 설계기준강도보다 낮았다. 철근은 표면부의 강도가 내부보다 높기 때문에, 높은 강종일수록 굽힌 후 펴면 바우싱거 효과가 크게 발생된다. 굽힌 후 펴기까지의 존치기간이 길면 시효 경화에 의해 항복강도의 상승과 연성의 저하가 발생되었다. Ramberg-Osgood 모델을 기본 형태로 실험 자료를 회귀분석하여 항복강도와 존치기간을 고려한 굽힌 후 편 철근의 응력-변형률 관계를 구성하였다. 이 모델은 굽힌 후 편 철근이 사용된 접합부의 강성 평가에 활용될 수 있다.

실용치과재료로 사용되고 있는 Ag-Pd-Cu 3 원계 합금의 시효석출과정을 Pd 및 Cu의 용질 농도의 조성비가 약 1.7인 합금과 이 합금에서 2wt%Au의 첨가합금에 미치는 영향을 조사 분석하여 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. Ag-25Pd-15Cu 3원 합금은 ${\alpha}$의 단일상에서 ${\alpha}_1$ (Cu-rich), ${\alpha}_2$(Ag-rich) 및 PdCu 규칙상에 의해서 경화반응이 진행되며 연속승온시효에 의하면 $100{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 저항증가와 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$의 저항감소라고 하는 2단계 변화에 의해서 경화곡선이 얻어졌다. 또한 본 합금의 시효과정은 ${\alpha}{\to}{\alpha}+{\alpha}_2+PdCu{\to}{\alpha}_1+{\alpha}_2+PdCu$이고 2상분리 반응에 경화되며 최고경화는 ${\alpha}_1,\;{\alpha}_2$ 및 PdCu 규칙상의 혼합영역에서 나타났다. 이들 석출반응은 입계반응이고 반응의 진행과 함께 경도값은 상승하고 경화촉진에 기여하였다. 또한 Nodule은 미세한 lamella조직을 나타내고 이들 ${\alpha}_2$와 PdCu상과의 미세한 혼합상의형성이 시효경화에 기여하는 주된 원인이 되었다. 과시효는 lamella의 조대화와 PdCu상의 ${\alpha}2$상으로의 용해에 따른 정량적 감소에 대응하였다. 석출상은 thin lamella구조의 잘 방위된 미세한 판상석출물로서 이들 미세 판상석출물은 AuCu($L1_0$)type의 face-centered tetragonal(fct)의 초격자구조였다. 규칙화된 미세한 판상석출물은 stair-step mode로서 twinning에 의해 형성되며 이것은 시효에 의해 $L1_0$ type의 PdCu 규칙상과 같은 초격자 형성시 정방비틀림 때문이라고 생각된다. 이들 twinning lamella는 귀금속원소에 의해 형성된 $L1_0$ type의 PdCu 규칙상과 같기 때문에 이들 합금의 부식저항에도 기여하였다. Ag-25Pd-15Cu합금은 전반적으로 양호한 내식성을 나타내며 Pd.Cu=1인 합금에서보다도 Pd함량이 높은 Pd/Cu=1.7에서 내식성이 보다 우수한 것은 Pd 함량이 내식성에 기여하였고 2%Au의 첨가에 의해서 부식성을 개선할 수 있었다.

Au 함량이 20% 미만인 Au-Ag-Pd합금의 기초합금인 Ag-Pd-Cu 3원계 합금의 시효경화 특성을 규명할 목적으로 20wt% Pd 및 20wt% Cu의 용질농도구성비가 1이 되는 3원 합금과 여기에 2wt% Au의 첨가합금에 미치는 석출상의 영향을 분석, 조사하여 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. Ag-20wt% Pd-20wt% Cu 3원 함금은 ${\alpha}$의 단일상에서 Ag-rich의 ${\alpha}2$상 및 PdCu규칙상에 의하여 경화반응이 진행되며 연속승온과정에서 $100{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 경도증가와 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$의 경도감소의 2단계 경화특성이 얻어졌다. 연속승온시효과정은 Au첨가에 관계없이 2단계의 석출반응이 저온영역에서는 stage I, stage II로 나타나고 stage I은 고온에서의 소입에 의해 도입된 과잉공공의 이동 및 소멸에 의한 반응이고 stage II는 평형농도의 공공확산에 의한 반응에 대응하였다. 또한 본 합금의 시효석출과정은 ${\alpha}\to{\alpha}+{\alpha}2+PdCu\to{\alpha}_1+{\alpha}_2+PdCu$이고 최대 경화는 ${\alpha}_1,\;{\alpha}_2$, PdCu의 3상공존구역에서 나타났다. 이들 석출반응은 입계반응이고 반응의 진행과 함께 경도값은 상승하며 경화능에 직접적으로 기여하였다. 또한 석출상은 미세한 lamella조직의 nodule을 나타내고 이들 ${\alpha}_1,\;{\alpha}_2$ 및 PdCu상과의 미세한 혼합상의 형성이 시효경화능에 기여하는 주된 원인이 되었다. 과시효는 lamella의 조대화와 PdCu상의 ${\alpha}_2$상으로의 용해에 따른 정량적 감소에 대응하였다. 본 합금의 시효열처리 온도는 $450^{\circ}C$가 적절하며 $1{\sim}120min$ 시효시간에 걸쳐서 소정의 경화특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, we describe the conventional hot pressing (CHP) of layered $Al-B_4C$ composites and their characterization. The matrix alloy Al-5 wt.%Cu was prepared from elemental powder mixtures. The metal and B4C powders were mixed to produce either $Al-Cu-10vol.%B_4C$ or $Al-Cu-30vol.%B_4C$ combinations. Then, these powder mixtures were stacked as layers in the hot pressing die to form a two-layered composite. Hot pressing was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere to produce $30\times40\times5mm$ specimens. Microstructural features and age hardening characteristics of composites were determined by specimens cut longitudinally. The flexural strength of both layered composites and their monolithic counterparts were investigated via three point bending tests. In the case of layered specimens of both $10vol.%B_4C$ and $30vol.%B_4C$ containing layers were loaded for three-point test. The results show that a homogeneous distribution of $B_4C$ particles in the matrix alloy which is free of pores, can be obtained by CHP method. The ageing behavior of the composites was found to be influenced by the reinforced materials, i.e. higher hardness values were reached in 8 hrs for the composites than that for the matrix alloy. Flexural strength test showed that two-layered composites exhibited improved damage tolerance depending on layer arrangement. Microstructural investigation of the fracture surfaces of the bending specimens was performed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM). While layer with lower reinforcement content exhibited large plastic deformation under loading, the other with higher reinforcement content exhibited less plastic deformation.

The research on new DRA(discontinuous reinforced alloy) and CRA(continous reinforced alloy) composites has been carried out to improve the properties of ceramic fiber and particle reinforced metal matrix composites(MMCs). Effects of alloying elements and aging conditions on the microstructures and aging behavior of Al-Si-Cu-Mg-(Ni)-SiCp composite have been examined. The specimens used in this study were manufactured by duplex process. The first squeeze casting is the process to make precomposite and the second squeeze casting is the process to make final composite. The hardening behavior was accelerated with decreasing the size of SiCp particle in the composites. It is considered that the dislocation density increased with increasing SiCp size, due to the different thermal deformation between Al matrix and SiCp during quenching after the solution treatment. Peak aging time to obtain the maximum hardness in 3 ${\mu}m$ SiCp reinforced Al composite was reduced than that in large size(5, 10 ${\mu}m$) of SiCp because of difference in dislocation density. Aging hardening responce(${\Delta}H$ = $H_{Max}.-H_{S.T}$) of composites was greater than that of unreinforced Al alloy because of higher density of second phases in matrix.

Recently, micro-alloyed steels which could eliminate heat treatments after forging has been developed. These non heat-treated micro-alloyed steels have several advantages over the conventional quenched and tempered steel for cold forging. First of all, long components can be fabricated with a better dimensional accuracy since bending of long forged part after quenching treatment could be avoided. And it is possible to eliminate two energy consuming heat treatment steps, which are a spherodizing before forging and quenching/tempering after forging. Therefore, more cost effective and environment friendly process could be designed. However, there is non-uniform distribution of strain occurred across the forged part, since these non heat-treated micro-alloyed steel use strain hardening mechanism. In the present study, it was investigated how to lessen non-uniformity and increase strength together for cold forging when a baking heat treatment is applied in micro-alloyed steels. For this purpose, micro-alloyed steels developed by Se-A Besteel recently was used for the experiment.

The effects of annealing temperature and time on mechanical properties and microstructures were already investigated in cold drawn pearlitic steel wires. During annealing, the increment of the tensile strength at low temperatures found to be due to age hardening, while the decrease in the tensile strength at high temperatures was attributed to age softening, involving the spheroidization of lamellar cementite and recovery of lamellar ferrite. Since Between increase of tensile strength and the occurrence of the delamination would be closely related to the dissolution of cementite, the increase of drawing strain by lower annealing temperature caused the between higher tensile strength and the easier occurrence of the delamination in cold drawn pearlitic steel wires.

The effects of Y and Ti on the microstructure stability and tensile properties of the reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel have been investigated. The addition of Y and Ti affected the prior austenite grain size due to the pinning of the inclusions. Ti addition of 0.008 wt% to the steel was intended to promote the precipitation of nano-sized carbides with a high resistance to coarsening. 8Ti14Y exhibited a higher yield strength and a lower DBTT than the other alloys due to the fine grain size and additional precipitation hardening by (Ti, Ta)-rich MX. After thermal exposure at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1500 h, yield strength was dropped significantly in exposed 0Ti13Y. On the contrary, a lower reduction of YS was observed in 8Ti14Y. The $M_{23}C_6$ in 0Ti13Y and 8Ti14Y and MX in 25Ti14Y and 39Ti15Y coarsened seriously during ageing, which could be responsible for the reduction of the tensile properties of alloys.

A cold roll-bonding process was applied to fabricate an AA1050/AA6061/AA1050 laminate complex sheet. Two AA1050 and one AA6061 sheets of 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width and 300 mm length were stacked up after surface treatment that included degreasing and wire brushing; material was then reduced to a thickness of 3 mm by one-pass cold rolling. The laminate sheet bonded by the rolling was further reduced to 1.2 mm in thickness by conventional rolling. The rolling was performed at ambient temperature without lubricant using a 2-high mill with a roll diameter of 210 mm. The rolling speed was 5.0 m/sec. The AA1050/AA6061/AA1050 laminate complex sheet fabricated by roll bonding was then hardened by natural aging T4) and artificial aging (T6) treatments. The microstructures of the as-roll bonded and the age hardened Al complex sheets were revealed by optical microscope observation; the mechanical properties were investigated by tensile testing and hardness testing. The strength of the as-roll bonded complex sheet was found to increase by 2.9 times compared to that value of the starting material. In addition, the hardness of the complex sheets increased with cold rolling for AA1050 and age-hardening treatment for AA6061, respectively. After heat treatment, both AA1050 and AA6061 showed typical recrystallization structures in which the grains were equiaxed; however, the grain size was smaller in AA6061 than in AA1050.
