This study was aimed to explain the influence of surface roughness of the drawbead on non-symmetry deep drawing cold rolled steel sheet to improve the drawability of cold rolled steel sheet. The variables used in this study included semi-circle drawbead with 3 levels of surface roughness which are 6.127 μm Ra, 0.963 μm Ra and 0.152 μm Ra and cold rolled steel sheet according to 3 grades of the ...

High-strength low alloy steels (HSLA) have been designed to replace high-yield (HY) strength steels in naval applications involving impact loading as the latter, which contain more carbon, require complicated welding processes. The critical role of HSLA-100 steel requires achieving an accurate understanding of its behavior under dynamic loading. Accordingly, in this paper, we experimentally inv...

the effect of secondary steelmaking processes such as desulphurization, removal of inclusions and vacuumdegassing followed by hot forging and hardening heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a hot-work w500 tool steel have been studied in details. in order to follow the progress of secondary steel making, the content of impurity elements such as s, p, o, h and n were ...

This research effort focuses on the evaluation of existing design standards for cold-formed steel stud walls and the development of retrofit wall systems. Full-scale wall systems are tested under uniform static pressure using a vacuum chamber. The resistance functions obtained are used to model the dynamic behavior of the walls and to predict performance under blast conditions. This paper focus...

In order to improve efficiency of cutting process in production industry, development of new steel which has good machinablity is desired. The work material which has good surface roughness, easy breakable chip and small tool wear as the good machinablity is expected. And the free-machining steel was developed owning to adding elements which could make the machinablity better. Of all others, le...

Cold spraying is a coating process which enables production of metallic and metallic ceramic coatings with dense (very low porosity level) and pure (low oxygen content) structures. Several coating applications such as corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity rely on these properties. Generally, cold spraying is based on higher particle velocities and lower process temperatures than othe...

The objective of this paper is to provide work towards design methods to predict both the loss of stiffness and the available ductility for cold-formed steel members subject to cross-section deformations resulting from local and distortional buckling. Existing design specifications provide some guidance on how to predict the stiffness of cold-formed steel members, but no guidance on their avail...
