A new cold rolled hot-dip galvanizing DP450 steel with low carbon and high chromium was designed and effect of the galvanizing processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties was also investigated. At last, it was compared with the referenced DP450 steel which was already produced in industry. The results show that microstructure of the experimental steel consists of regular polygonal ferrite, almost 1% MA island and little bainite. The industrial experimental cold-rolled galvanizing DP steel has excellent combined mechanical properties as follow: yield strength is 306 MPa, tensile strength is 467 MPa and elongation (A80) is 33%. Compared to the referenced steel, the experimental DP450 steel has lower yield strength, better elongation and better forming performance, accordingly.

Unmodified talc fillers were compounded with polypropylene (PP) and copolymer polyethylene (Co-PP) separately in a Brabender plasticorder internal mixer at 180 °C and 50 rpm in order to obtain composites, which contain 040 phr (per 100 part of resin) of filler at 40 phr intervals. The morphology development and the mechanical properties of the composites with reference to filler loading were investigated. In terms of mechanical properties, Youngs modulus and maximum compression load increased, whereas yield strength and elongation at break decreased with the increase in filler loading of PP/Co-PP/Talc composites. The PP/Co-PP exhibited lower yield strength and youngs modulus, and higher elongation at break than talc composites (data not show here). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the structure of the fracture surface to justify the variation of the measured mechanical properties.

Zone of yield strength is a part of stress-strain diagram on steel. In this zone is located an upper and lower yield strength points. These points are important for calculation and design of steel structures elements. When a structural element is corroded, its mechanical properties are changed i.e. changes the geometric characteristics, superficial defects appear and leads to structural changes of material. The facts unambiguously determine that in order to decide whether or not the corrosion element can be reuse, it is necessary to study the material and to determine the new values at the yield strength points. In order to legally make the necessary calculation in sizing and to judge for its reuse. The report studies a zone of yield strength on steel elements with corrosion. Experimental data was obtained, then processed using the stochastic method of processing empirically obtained data, and it was determined with sufficient probability the values to be used for calculation and design in practice.

Constrained groove pressing (CGP) is a severe plastic deformation technique to produce the ultra-fine grained sheet. The inhomogeneous strain distribution and geometry variation induce differential mechanical properties in the processed sheet. The improved mechanical properties of CGP sheets is due to the composite effect of weak and strong regions formed by geometric and strain inhomogeneities. Weaker regions exhibit large strain, lower yield strength, and higher strain hardening compared to stronger regions. The estimation of mechanical properties is influenced by these defects leading to the difference in the mechanical properties along different orientations. Experimental investigation revealed that the commonly used tensile samples cut perpendicular to the groove orientation exhibit variation in thickness along the gauge length affecting the results from tensile tests. To further understand the effect of geometric variation, a typical CGP specimen was reverse engineered and finite element (FE) simulation was performed using the actual geometry of the CGP processed specimen. The strain distribution from FE simulation was validated experimentally using the digital image correlation data. Based on the numerical and experimental studies, miniature specimens were designed to eliminate the geometric effects from the standard parallel specimen. Miniature parallel specimens showed lower yield strength and total elongation compared to the standard specimens. However, the statistical scatter of total elongation of the miniature specimens was much less than that of the standard specimens, indicating better repeatability. Probably this is the first study to quantify the contribution of composite geometric effect in the mechanical properties of CGP.

The RHEOMETALTM process is a commercially used semi-solid process for production of high integrity cast components. The process differs from most other semi-solid casting processes in that temperature control is not necessary during processing and large amount of slurry with required solid fraction can be quickly produced. The simplicity of this process has led to a large commercial interest during the last year. This work is based on an investigation regarding the variation of as-cast mechanical properties for secondary Al-Si based alloys (~2.5 % Cu) with a Si content varying from 4.55 to 8.90 % using the RHEOMETALTM process. The purpose was to find the most suitable Al-Si alloy for rheocasting, in comparison with the common HPDC-alloy A380 (EN-AC46000). It was found that lower Si containing alloys exhibited better elongation but slightly lower yield strength. The alloy containing 5.39 wt% Si showed the highest ultimate tensile strength in this investigation. The lower Si containing alloys also demonstrated better feedability in the rheocasting process, which is contrary to what normally is found for normal liquid casting processes. Based on the results in this investigation it is recommended to use an alloy containing about 5-7 wt% Si for rheocasting purposes.

The influence of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon low alloy steel was investigated. The results show that tempering temperature has considerable influence on both yield strength and tensile strength. With the increase in tempering temperature, the yield strength increases first and then decreases after it reaches the highest point at 600°C with a strength of 843MPa, while the tensile strength decreases fastly from 550°C to 650°C and keeps stable after increasing drastically at 720°C. The yield ratio is about 0.60 except at 600°C and 650°C with a high yield ratio of 0.90, while the total elongation has little change. It is concluded that the major change of mechanical properties after tempering has a connection with the decomposition of M/A(martensite/austenite) islands, the recovery of dislocations and the precipitation of alloy elements.

A kind of 1000MPa low carbon bainitic steel belonged to the Fe-Cu-Nb series was hot rolled and aged, the influence of aging temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel were investigated by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that the microstructure of the low carbon bainitic steel consisted of lath-shaped bainite(LB), granular bainite(GB) and quasi-polygonal ferrite(QF), and the proportion of each kind of microstructure changed with the aging temperatures. The strength of steel with the increase of aging temperature first increased, then decreased, Aging temperatures had distinct effect on yield strength of the tested steel, and less effect on the ultimate tensile strength, we can get the best comprehensive properties yield strength 1011.87 MPa and elongation rate 16.38% of good tough match aged at 450°C. Through analysis it is concluded that the strength of the tested steels aged at 450°C reaches the maximum value, which is attributed to the precipitation of a large amount of fine ε-Cu particles(5~10nm) and a small number of(Nb,Ti)(C,N) precipitates.

Effects of deformation at austenite region and cooling rate on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low carbon (0.06 wt. % C) high strength low alloy steels have been investigated. Average grain size decreased and polygonal ferrite transformation promoted with increasing deformation amount at austenite region due to increase of ferrite nucleation site. Microstructure was also influenced by cooling rate resulting in the development of a mixture of fine polygonal ferrite and acicular ferrite at 10°C/s cooling rate. Discontinuous yielding occurred in highly deformed specimen due to the formation of polygonal ferrite. However, small grain size of highly deformed specimen caused lower ductile-to-brittle transition temperature than slightly deformed specimen.
