Overall, the 1018 and 1045 steel specimens displayed similar relationships between the heat-treating procedures. The 1045 steel had a greater tensile strength in all states except for the quenched state. In general, the 1018 steel specimens were more ductile than the 1045 steel specimens in all states.

His record in 36 seasons with the University of North Carolina was 879-254. He was Carolinas coach from 1960 to 1997. No other coach in the countries history has ever had that many 20 win seasons consecutively. The Tar Heels won 20 games it more for 27 straight years and 30 of Dean Smith's final 31 seasons. While Smith was coaching, 50 or more of his players went on to play pro basketball in the NBA or ABA. Even more played in professional leagues

There is a heat loss of 100,000 kcal involved on the basis of 1000 kg of steel

1) Of all the sample materials tested during the lab, the AISI-1020 Cold Rolled Steel was found to be the strongest. Moreover, between the two samples of AISI-1020 Cold Rolled steel, the sample without the neck was found to be stronger. This was observed by calculating the ultimate tensile strength for all the samples used during the experiment. As a result, the higher the ultimate tensile stress the material endured, the stronger the material was. The ultimate tensile stress calculated for the AISI-1020 Cold Rolled was 563 MPa which was the highest of all. Therefore, concluding that the AISI-1020 Cold Rolled without a neck region was the strongest material.

To familiarize oneself of the processes associated with the deep drawing of thin sheet metals to analyse the factors that influence its behavior. Through this experiment, the differences of the material properties associated with different rolling directions will be considered and applied to the deformation of the cup when formed through deep drawing.

Steel products were defined by several attributes which determined the product application and defined quality. Grade described the metallic (chemical) composition of the steel, or the elements added to the basic recipe of iron and carbon to create the desired properties. Product described the shape of the product, including semi-finished shapes (blooms, billets and bars) and finished shapes (wires and coils). Surface finish described the smoothness and polish that could be applied to the material’s surface to enhance presentation. Size described the latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions of the product. Structural quality described the absence of breaks in the inner metallic structure. Surface quality described the absence of cracks or seams on the surface. Because specific applications called for specific attributes, many products were customized along one or more attributes for the customer. However, of all attributes, customers valued most the grade, which determined product performance.

The Engineers Australia event that I attended was based on the structural design behind steel members and its response to elevated temperatures, specifically from fire. Dr Allan Jowsey, a fire engineer and estimation manager, introduced fire engineering and the calculations required for using specific steel members. Before this event, I never knew that fire engineering existed. Although my major is chemical, I can still appreciate the thought process for choosing specific thicknesses of steel and the coatings required. Jowsey explained that the thickness of steel was primarily based on the limiting temperature, which is the temperature at which the member loses its load bearing capacity and not to total failure. The lower the

The need for reduction in weight of heavy vehicles is increasing day after day. Reduction of weight results in reduced fuel consumption which results in a decrease in the emission of greenhouse gas. For reducing the weight, higher strength to weight ratio steels would be required. Not only is a high strength, but the steel also requires to be adequately formable and greater energy absorption capacity. Good formability is essential for designing vehicle components with complex shapes. Dual phase (DP) steels are quite promising material for these purposes. DP steels can already achieve strength in the range of 500-1200 MPa with a total elongation of 15-25 %. Dual phase steels contain more than 1% alloying element among which major alloying elements are C, Si, Mn, and there are some other alloying elements also.

Mild steel is an alloy of iron and 0.2 % carbon widely used in construction, as it is readily available, malleable and relatively inexpensive. One use of mild steel is on the hulls of seafaring ships. However, corrosion due to the salt water environment and pounding waves is a major problem with the use of steel. Metallic corrosion is estimated to amount to 4% of a developed country’s GDP per year. Therefore corrosion of mild steel and its prevention are major concerns.

There is a common practice to perform post weld heat treatment when performing alterations or repairs to pressure vessels that have been stress relived prior to being commissioned. This research paper is the study of the consequences of performing local PWHT and considerations that need to be taken when determining what type of stress relieving is to be performed to meet code requirements. Post weld heat treatment is an effective way to minimize weld residual stresses in pressure vessels and piping equipment. PWHT is a required for carbon steels above a code defined thickness threshold and other lo-allow steels to mitigate the propensity for crack initiation and ultimately, brittle fracture, and is often employed to mitigate stress corrosion cracking due to environmental conditions. Performing local PWHT following component repairs or alterations is often more practical and cost effective than heat treating an entire vessel or a large portion of the pressure boundary. Spot or bulls eye configurations are often employed in industry to perform PWHT following local weld repairs to regions of the pressure boundary. Both the ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel code and the National Board inspection code permit the use of local PWHT around nozzles or other pressure boundary repairs or alterations. Additionally, welding research council bulletin 452 offers detailed guidance relating to local PWHT and

frame behaviour in stable states. A number of factors which affect structural performance in fire are outlined. Among these, the degradation of steel properties at elevated temperature is a main contributor in loss of structural resistance in fire. The characteristic of behaviour of steel at elevated temperatures from test findings are evaluated. These are compared with the simplified constitutive models of structural steel provided in EN-1993-1-2 and EN-1994-1-2.

In design and fabrication of metallic equipment and structures, often weight saving is often used to improve efficiency in in-service performance of the item. This paper will explore the interactive model of product development, which includes the important of: the uses of alternative materials on the design, fabrication and in- service behaviour of the item in order to provide awareness of how issue of the underlying principles of each of these weight saving alternatives and the advantages to be gained, using the benchmark grade 350 steel.

Reducing the fuel consumption and as a result reducing the amount of emissions which is achieved by car weight reduction and besides passenger safety and crashworthiness improvement via mechanical energy absorption are the main goals of car manufactures. Application of advanced high-strength dual phase (DP) steels is being considered as one of the efficient ways to obtain the above mentioned goals [1-3]. (DP) steels have attracted considerable attention in the automotive industry due to favorable combination formability, work hardening, ductility and high strength to weight ratio [4]. The mentioned features is resulted from the unit microstructure of the DP steels. DP steels despite their name consist of three or more phases including ferrite, martensite, banite, retained austenite and pearlite. The Matrix in DP steels is soft ferrite and the strengthening phase is martensite. In some cases banite and retained austenite also contribute to strengthening. Ferrite enables low initial yielding stress and martensite enables the high ultimate tensile strength (UTS). The above characteristics make the DP steels ideal alloy systems for automotive sheet-forming operations [5].
