Phosphating is one of the most procedures as a final surface treatment or pre-treatment (lubrication and Infrastructure color) is done on ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Phosphate coating on the wire drawing, increase speed of drwing, increase die life, increased resistance to abrasion caused by the friction reduction, reduced maintenance costs and improved surface appearance are combustible and conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of variables such as temperature, pH bath, the coating bath components concentration on coating properties and optimize calcium zinc phosphate coating on steel wire, for better lubrication and decrease friction in the wire drawing process.... 

In this study, transformation of austenite to ferrite under continuous cooling condition of a low carbon steel was investigated. In the first step, a heat transfer model was employedconsidering governing heat transfer boundary conditions and a microstructure model based on Cellular Automaton method was used simultaneouslyto predict austenite to ferrite transformation progress. The influence of pre-heating temperature and primary austenite grain size on the final ferrite grain size and distribution were perdected. To verify the simulation results, experimental processes were utilized. The microstructure distribution was determined by means of Clemex Pro software then, these results were... 

A low-carbon steel, containing 0.05 C, 0.203 Mn and 0.0229 Si (all in wt%) rapidly annealed in temperature range 300 ºC - 900 ºC, after severe plastic deformation (SPD) by constrained groove pressing (CGP). Microstructure evolution was investigated by Scanning Electron and Optical Microscopy. Mechanical properties were evaluated by hardness measurements and Shear Punch Testing (SPT). The result showed a thermal stability at 300 ºC and 400 ºC, which recrystallization did not occurred in these temperatures up to 2 h holding time. By annealing at 500 ºC and 600 ºC, the onset of recrystallization observed after holding times of 10 min and 20 s, respectively. Predicting the kinetic of... 

Control of the product manufacturing and evaluating its behavior during deformation is one of the most important issues in hot deformation, especially hot rolling. One of the factors affecting on quality of hot rolled steel strips is the flatness after run-out table cooling.Distortion in a steel strip results from non-uniform temperature profile as the strip cools to room temperature. Increase in the rolling velocity and subsequently the cooling rate affect thermal stresses. In this study a mathematical model for prediction of austenite- ferrite phase transition kinetics and thermo-mechanical stresses on the run-out table after hot rolling was developed for low carbon ferrite steels.... 

So far many investigations was performed in the field of energy absorption of mono and bi-layer sheets. As respects, severe plastic deformation process causes grain refinement and strength increase, there is not any study in feild of energy absorption of the severely plastic deformed sheets. The aim of this project was to investigate energy absorption of constrain groove pressed sheets by using different methods such as tensile test and wedge tear test. In this project, low carbon steel was processed by constrain groove press and mechanical properties of sheets was investigated, by using tensile test. It has been observed that ductility reduced and strength increased with increasing the... 

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of difference in electrical resistivity between low carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel on the physical and mechanical properties and fracture mode of dissimilar resistance spot welds of these alloys. For this purpose, plastic deformation using constrained groove pressing combined with rolling applied to low carbon steel in three levels of 40%, 156% and 272%. Microstructural characterization, micro-hardness measurements and shear-tension test were performed. It was shown that by increasing the pre-strain in low carbon steel its electrical resistivity increases from 13.08 μΩ.cm to 19.5 μΩ.cm and because of reduction of... 

Considering that automobile weigth reduction in industry is important, improvement the strength of low carbon steel sheets is important. These sheets can be supported the service condition in lower thicknesses. Bulk nano-structured materials have been mostly attracted in materials science due to their unique physical and mechanical properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of the most efficient methods to produce ultra fine grained or nano-structured materials. Materials produced by SPD are of great importance because of (1) non-porous structure, (2) great mechanical properties such as high strength and toughness and (3) proper dimension for mechanical and physical testing. ... 

Static recrystllization in low carbon steel after two type of deformation –sidepress as an inhomogeneous deformation and rolling as a common industrial process - has been simulated using Cellular Automata (CA). The finite element method was utilized to compute the strain and stored energy distribution due to deformation. The initial microstructures were created by simulation of recrystallization with homogeneous site-saturated nucleation and topologic deformation was also considered in model. Subsequently using the result of FEM, stored energy of deformation was calculated and transferred into a two dimensional CA lattice. Nucleation rate and grain boundary velocity were considered...
