The object of the research is to estimate for pearlite structure of quenched carbon steels. The effects of temperature on physical properties metallic structures and the latent heat by phase transformation were considered. In this study a set of constitutive equations relevant to the analysis of thermo-elasto plastic materials with pearlite phase transformation during quenching process way presented on the basis of continuum thermo-dynamics. The iso-thermal transformation curve of the SM50C was formlated by cubic spline curve. The formulated equations of evolution in pearlite transformation was used for structure analysis. The volume fraction of pearlite was obtained from the results of calculated metallic structure by Finite element equation.

We propose an implicit numerical implementation for Leblond's transformation plasticity constitutive equations , which are widely used in welded steel structure. We apply Euler backward scheme rule to integrate the equations and determine the consistent tangent modulus. The implementation may be used with updated Lagrangian formulation. we test a simple butt-welding process to compare with SYSWELD and discuss the accuracy.

Hot press forming is an advanced forming technology fur manufacturing of complex and crash-resistant automotive parts using ultra high strength steels. The 3-dimensional FE analysis of hot press forming process, in which process the deformation, heat transfer and phase transformation behavior are fully coupled, is carried out. The vast amount of material properties for the FE analysis is obtained from material properties calculation software which is based on thermodynamic calculations. The overall methodology for the FE analysis of HPF process and the analysis results are discussed here.

A great emphasis has been placed on the design of heat treatment process to achieve desired microstructure and mechanical property of final product. In this study, finite element analysis was carried out to predict temperature, microstructure and hardness of eutectoid steel after water quenching. Convective heat transfer coefficients were determined by inverse analysis using surface temperatures measured with three different installation methods of thermocouples. Finally, the effect of convective heat transfer coefficients on the prediction of temperature history and hardness was analyzed by comparing experimental and simulation results.

Recently, ultra high strength products can be manufactured by the hot press forming process of Boron steel in automotive and electronics industries. In order to get high strength, the hot press forming should be accompanied by quenching process inducing phase transformation. There are several types of the hot press forming processes according to the quenching method, water quenching and die quenching, etc. In the study, the process was numerically and physically simulated to compare the two types of quenching processes, and then the strength, hardness and dimensions of the products were compared with try-outs.

In this study, three cold-rolled TRIP steels containing different Al content (0.04wt%, 1.0 wt.% and 2.00wt%) were fabricated to understand the complex effects of Al in TRIP steel. The influences of Al on microstructural evolution of cold-rolled TRIP steels have been analyzed by using advanced analysis techniques, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM) and three dimensional atom probe tomography (3D-APT). TEM results revealed that second phases such as bainte and retained austenite decrease with increase of Al content. In addition, 3D-APT was used to characterize atomic-scale distribution of alloying elements at the constituent phases. Through these analysis techniques, the advanced characteristics of constituent microstructure in TRIP steels were identified depending on Al contents in TRIP steels.

The warm deep drawability in square cup drawing is investigated about a newly developed high-strength steel sheet with retained austenite which is transformed into martensite during forming. For this investigation, six steps of temperature ranges, from room temperature to $250^{\circ}C$, and five kinds of drawing ratio, from 2.2 to 2.6 were adopted. As a result the maximum drawing force and the maximum drawing depth were affected by the elevated temperatures, and the more stable thickness strain distribution was observed to the elevated temperatures. But blue shortness happened over $200^{\circ}C$. The FEM analysis using the LS-DYNA code is adopted to compare the experimental results with the analytical results for thickness strain distribution.

A thermodynamic model was developed to analyze the characteristics of the heat generation during transformation of austenite in 0.186wt% and 0.458 wt%. carbon steels. The heat capacity and the heat evolved during transformation were formulated as functions of temperature and chemical composition for ferrite bainite and pearlite. in addition using the transformation dilatometer the transformation heat evolved during cooling was measured and the transformation behavior was observed. It was found that the heat capacity of ferrite was similar to those of pearlite and bainite. The heat capacity of ferrite was greater than that of bainite which was greater than that of pearlite. The molar heat of transformation to pearlite was greater than that to bainite which was greater than that to ferrite. The heats were found to be increased with decreased temperature and increasing the carbon content, It was also observed that the thermodynamic model. The heat of transformation in the higher carbon steel was greater than that in the lower carbon one. This was attributed to the lower transformation temperature and the greater amount of transformed pearlite in the higher carbon steel.
