Ultrafine Grained Steel

The groove design for creating ultrafine-grained low-carbon steel through a caliber rolling process was studied from the viewpoint of the large strain accumulation and cross-sectional shape variation in a bar. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was employed for this purpose. The caliber rolling process of foval (flat-like-oval)/square type was proposed as a method to efficiently introduce a large strain in material. The relationship among the foval configuration, strain, and cross-sectional shape was examined in the caliber rolling. The influence of the equivalent strain distribution by 1st pass (foval rolling) depends strongly on the strain distribution and a cross-sectional shape by 2nd pass, and the foval configuration to accumulate a large strain efficiently was shown. The optimum pass schedule to fabricate a 13mm square bar of ultrafine-grained steel from a 24 mm square bar by caliber rolling at warm working temperatures was proposed.

Niobium Microalloyed Steel

The rolling condition for fabricating a low-carbon niobium-microalloyed steel sheet with an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure was examined through rolling experiments and finite element analysis. A large-diameter rolling process was proposed to create a UFG structure. The rolling was conducted near the transformation point, Ar3, from austenite to ferrite. The Ar3 was measured at the surface and the center of the sheet. First, the through-thickness microstructure and equivalent strain distribution in a 1-pass rolled sheet 2.0 mm thick were examined. In the rolling experiments, the embedded pin method was employed to understand through-thickness deformation. The magnitude of the equivalent strain to obtain a UFG structure was estimated to be 2.0. Based on these results, the fabrication of a 2 mm UFG steel sheet by 3-pass rolling for an initial thickness of 14.5 mm was attempted by the proposed large-diameter rolling process.

Stone columns have been used widely to improve the engineering properties of the weak soil. Most of the previous works considered a circular section for the stone columns. In the present study, finite element analysis has been carried out to investigate the effect of stone columns shape and length on the settlement and bearing capacity of soft soil. Accordingly, three types of cross sectional shape for stone columns have been selected which they are circular, rectangular, and square sections with equivalent area. Various length of columns are adopted with diameter of 0.75m that achieved length to diameter or equivalent diameter ratios (L/d=2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) of columns spacing (S/d=3). The results show that the stone columns has tangible effects on the settlement of the soil while has minor effects on the bearing capacity. The settlement of the treated soil with stone columns have L/d=2, reduces by 18.0, 17.3, and 19.3% for circular, rectangular , and square sections respectively. With increasing length of the columns to L/d=10, further reductions in the settlement obtained of (27.1, 28.1, and 27.0%). Bearing capacity of the soil increased slightly with length of the stone columns. Almost all cross sectional shapes of the columns give bearing capacity about same. The increased in the bearing capacity of the treated soil with stone columns have L/d=2, not exceeded 10% for all sectional types. The average increments in bearing capacity when L/d=10 are 12 and 15% at settlement 50 and 100mm respectively. Insignificant changes in bearing capacity upon increasing length of columns from L/d=2 to 10 of maximum 5%. The plastic zone recedes with the increasing length of the stone columns. Finally, from the results obtained, it can be concluded that the stone columns shape has negligible effects on the settlement and bearing capacity of the soil.

The cross-sectional shape of a linear guideway has been processed before the straightening process. The cross-section features influence not only the position of the neutral axis, but also the applied and residual stresses along the longitudinal direction, especially in a multi-step straightening process. This paper aims to present an analytical model based on elasto-plastic theory and three-point reverse bending theory to predict straightening stroke and longitudinal stress distribution during the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways. The deviation of the neutral axis is first analyzed considering the asymmetrical features of the cross-section. Owing to the cyclic loading during the multi-step straightening process, the longitudinal stress curves are then calculated using the linear superposition of stresses. Based on the cross-section features and the superposition of stresses, the bending moment is corrected to improve the predictive accuracy of the multi-step straightening process. Finite element analysis, as well as straightening experiments, have been performed to verify the applicability of the analytical model. The proposed approach can be implemented in the multi-step straightening process of linear guideways with similar cross-sectional shape to improve the straightening accuracy.

Physical Simulation of Controlled Rolling and Accelerated Cooling for Ultrafine-Grained Steel Plates The work shows the possibilities of obtaining ultrafine-grained ferrite-pearlite and ferrite-bainite structures in the process of controlled rolling of sheet metal using immediate accelerated cooling after the final pass. Low-carbon steel without micro-alloy additives was analyzed. The analysis was conducted using the Gleeble 3800 device with Hydrawedge II MCU module which enabled a multiple cycle of fast compression of the material. During the test, 10×15×20 mm rectangular parallelepiped specimens were deformed in flat anvils gaining the flat state of deformation in the zone of compression. Then the influence of the used scheme of deformation, cooling rate, time of break between the last deformation and the beginning of the accelerated cooling was analyzed as well as the temperature at the end of accelerated cooling of the structure and the mechanical properties of the final item.

The effectiveness of endodontic file preparation depends, among others, on the material, geometric shape, and the drive system. This study aimed to analyze the effect of cross-sectional, pitch, and rotational speed on cyclic fatigue and deflection of NiTi files using finite element analyses. A total of 18 NiTi endodontic rotary instruments ProTaper Gold F2 #25.08 and Hyflex CM #25.04 (n=9) modeling were designed using Autodesk software. Subjects were divided into two groups, the design group of square and convex triangles. Static simulation was then carried out to each group with force on the instrument’s tip by 1N, 2N, and 3N. The file’s cycling fatigue was analyzed at rotating speeds of 200 rpm, 300 rpm, and 400. The data were analyzed by using the three-way Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test followed by LSD (p< 0.05). The results showed the cross-sectional shape and force effect on the deflection value and cyclic fatigue received by the endodontic files (p< 0.05). The convex triangle design presented the lowest cyclic fatigue than square. The convex triangular cross-section design showed a higher deflection value than the square cross-section design.

The microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior during large strain of a 0.16%CMn steel has been investigated by warm torsion tests. These experiments were carried out at 685 °C at equivalent strain rate of 0.1 s-1. The initial microstructure composed of a martensite matrix with uniformly dispersed fine cementite particles was attained by quenching and tempering. The microstructure evolution during tempering and straining was performed through interrupted tests. As the material was reheated to testing temperature, well-defined cell structure was created and subgrains within lath martensite were observed by TEM; strong recovery took place, decreasing the dislocation density. After 1 hour at the test temperature and without straining, EBSD technique showed the formation of new grains. The flow stress curves measured had a peculiar shape: rapid work hardening to a hump, followed by an extensive flow-softening region. 65% of the boundaries observed in the sample strained to ε = 1.0 were high angle grain boundaries. After straining to ε = 5.0, average ferrite grain size close to 1.5 1m was found, suggesting that dynamic recrystallization took place. Also, two sets of cementite particles were observed: large particles aligned with straining direction and smaller particles more uniformly dispersed. The fragmentation or grain subdivision that occurred during reheating and tempering time was essential for the formation of ultrafine grained microstructure.

While uniform elongation is a measure of ductility of the material, reduction in area in tensile tests is also an important measure of ductility. It was found that the reduction in area - tensile strength balance is far better than the conventional ferrite+pearlite steels and even superior to martensitic and bainitic steels. Formability of ultrafine-grained steel is examined by applying to form a M1.7 micro screw using these ultrafine-grained steels. Screws are formed through the process of cold heading and rolling. Relationship between cold heading, rolling, uniform elongation and reduction in area are investigated to clarify the formability of ultrafine-grained steels. Low-carbon ultrafine-grained steel has excellent cold headability and favorable rolling properties, i.e., excellent formability. Reduction in area is a measure to determine formability on cold heading. Ultrafine grained steel wire with length of several hundred meter were developed with the technology of warm continuous multi-directional rolling. This wire also have a good formability which can form microscrews. High strength microscrew with ultrafine grained structure was obtained.
