a low carbon al-killed ti-added steel was produced in mobarakeh steel complex in iran. mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. it was found that the addition of small amounts of ti increased ...

Thermal treatments and thermo-mechanical processing routes were applied on a conventional structural steel (st37 steel: 0.12C-1.11Mn-0.16Si) for improvement of tensile properties and enhancement of work-hardening behavior. Full annealing resulted in a sheet with coarse ferrite grains and pearlite colonies arranged alternatively in distinct bands, which showed high ductility, low strength, and t...

The forming limit diagram (FLD) is probably the most common representation of sheet metal formability and can be defined as the locus of the principal planar strains where failure is most likely to occur. Low carbon steel sheets have many applications in industries, especially in automotive parts, therefore it is necessary to study the formability of these steel sheets. In this paper, FLDs, wer...

Towards the goal of providing a continuous process for the solid-state fabrication of carbon nanotube sheets and yarns from carbon nanotube forests, we report the growth of yarnspinnable and sheet-drawable carbon nanotube forests on highly flexible stainless steel sheets, instead of the conventionally used silicon wafers. Sheets and yarns were fabricated from the 16 cm maximum demonstrated fore...

Surface roughness (SR) has an adverse effect on the appearance of low-carbon steel parts, formed in the asymmetric incremental sheet forming (AISF) process, particularly those requiring painting operation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of AISF process parameters on the surface roughness of an asymmetric part formed on low-carbon steel sheets. The parameters are feed ra...
