USD7 is one of the steel products of Isfahan Steel Company. It is cast in continuous casting moulds and rolled up to a rod of 5 mm diameter. Finally, it is wire drawn up to 3 mm and used as welding electrodes. This steel contains 0.05 to 0.09 wt. % carbon. The acceptable limit of the aluminium in this class of steel is less than 0.003 wt%. Therefore, it is categorized as rimmed steel...

Magnesium alloys are highly desirable for a wide range of lightweight structural components. However, rolling Mg alloys can be difficult due to their poor plasticity, and the strong texture yielded from rolling often results in poor plate forming ability, which limits their further engineering applications. Here we report a new hard-plate rolling (HPR) route which achieves a large reduction dur...

Abstract Due to the increased integration of functions, many components have meet high and sometimes contradictory requirements. One way solve this problem is Tailored Forming. Here, hybrid semi-finished products are manufactured by a joining or cladding process, which then hot-formed finished. For design for possible later industrial application, knowledge about properties required. In paper i...

ZnTiCu (zinc-titan) sheets with approximately 0,1% Cu and 0,1% Ti content are very widely used in the construction industry for roof covering, gutters, drain pipes, facing linings, connections, window shelves, decorative elements on roofs, art products, etc. Data on the production technology of zinc-titan alloy sheet and on its forming properties are very scarce and unreliable. Therefore they m...

Abstract Tailored forming is used to produce hybrid components in which the materials are locally adapted different types of physical, chemical and tribological requirements. In this paper, a Forming process chain for production shaft with bearing seat investigated. The consists manufacturing steps laser hot-wire cladding, cross-wedge rolling, turning deep rolling. A cylindrical bar made mild s...
