In this study, the characteristics of chip formation of the cold drawn Bi-S free machining steels were assessed. And for comparison, those of the cold drawn Pb-S free machining steel, the hot rolled low carbon steel which has MnS as free machining inclusions and the conventional steels were also investigated. During chip formation, the cold drawn free machining steels show relatively little change in thickness and width of chip compare to those of the conventional carbon steels. And a single parameter which indicates the degree of deformation during chip formation, 'chip cross-section area ratio' is introduced. The chip cross-section area. The variational patterns of cross-section area is divided by undeformed chip cross-section area. The variational patterns of the chip cross-section area ratio of the materials cut are similar to those of the shear strain values. The shear stress, however, seems to be dependent on the carbon content of the materials. The cold drawn BiS and Pb-S steels show nearly the same chip forming behaviors and the energy consumed during chip formation is almost same. A low carbon steel without free machining aids shows poor chip breakability due to its high ductility. By introducing a small amount of non-metallic inclusions such as MnS, Bi, Pb or merely increasing carbon content the chip breakability improves significantly.

A new neural network classifier is proposed for the automatic real-time surface inspection of high-speed cold steel strips having 11 different types of defects. 46 geometrical and gray-level features are extracted for the defect classification. 3241 samples of Posco's Kwangyang steel factory are used for training and testing the neural network classifier. The developed classifier produces plausible 15% error rate which is much better than 20-30% error rate of human vision inspection adopted in most of domestic steel factories.

The present study aimed to develop the TRIP(transformation induced plasticity) aided high strength low carbon steel sheets using reverse transformation process. The cold-rolled 0.14C-6.5Mn steel was reverse-transformed by slow heating to intercritical temperature region and air cooling to room temperature. An excellant combination of tensile strength and elongation of $98.3kgf/mm^2$ and 44.4% appears. This combination comes from TRIP phenomena of retained austenite during deformation. The stability of retained austenite Is very Important for the good ductility and it depends on diffusion of carbon and manganese during reverse transformation. The air cooling after holding at intercritical temperature retards the formation of pearlite and provides the carbon enrichment in retained austenite, resulting the increase of elongation in cold-roiled TRIP steel.

In the present study the tensile test was carried out for steel sheets to offer the database for the material characteristics at various temperature condition. The results are constructed with tensile strength total elongation Lankford vale and the flow curve and these can be employed usefully into the analyzing program as input data for the sheet metal forming processes at warm condition.

New concept of coating process, which is called Electro Magnetic Levitation-Physical Vapour deposition (EML-PVD) was developed and investigated. Zinc coating was performed and succeeded for the first time on the steel strip (Cold-rolled Steel) in a continuos pilot line using the EML-PVD process which is specialized in the high deposition rate and high vapor yield. EML-PVD will be expected to be the next generation coating technology to be applied to the steel industry.

The rolling of flat slabs or sheet metal is probably the most advanced technique of metalworking technology. In spite of this very intensive activity, the problem if edge cracking has not been resolved. Although edge cracking is a major industrial problem, relatively little well-documented experimental work has been published on subject. Despite the paucity of exact experiments, it is reasonably certain from published data that three causes contribute to its occurrence; (1) limited ductility of the rolled material (2) uneven deformation at the edges and (3) variations in stresses along the width of the rolled material, particular near the edge. The present study was carried out to show the generation of edge cracking using ductile fracture criteria and FE-simulation. The validity of simulated results was verified by rolling experiments of steel strip.

Increasing environmental concerns require to solve the problem produced due to the use of heavy metals in coating formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new coating strategy employing inherently conducting polymers such as Polyaniline(PANI). Polyaniline films were electrosynthesized by oxidation of aniline on cold rolled and weathering sheets using the potentiostatic mode from an aqueous oxalic acid medium. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were obtained for cold rolled and weathering sheets in the aqueous solution of 3% sodium chloride. The structure and properties of polyaniline film were elucidated using SEM, DSC, SST. A high corrosion resistance of polyaniline films were observed with a gain of the corrosion potential around 600-900 mV positive in the substrate covered with polyaniline than in the case without it.

Forged and flat-bar rolled STD11 tool steel shows anisotropic dimensional change during heat treatment. The dimensional change in the rolling direction is larger than that in the transverse direction. The cause of the anisotropic dimensional change is that the steel is anisotropic in composition, microstructure and other properties. The decrease of anisotropic distortion in tool steel is important for making better precision cold working dies. In this study, the effect of ingot weight and hot rolling reduction ratio on the anisotropic dimensional change of STD11 during heat treatment has been studied. Dimensional change was evaluated by simulating a real heat treatment process, including gas quenching and tempering. Experimental results showed that all the rolled flat-bar products had anisotropic distortion to some degree, but the anisotropic distortion was reduced as hot rolling ratio increased. Ingot weight had a little effect on anisotropic distortion. Microstructural observation showed that the anisotropic dimensional change of STD11 tool steel was closely related to the amount, shape and distribution of coarse carbides.

In steel industries, cold-rolled sheet manufacturing is one of the links between the front and rear important industries for national competitiveness and high value-added production. In particular, in small and medium-sized enterprises, one of the major problems is the carbonization phenomenon of the steel sheet during the annealing process. Carbonization occurring on the surface of the coil help reduce steel production. After conducting various experiments to identify the cause of carbonization on the surface of a cold-rolled steel, the following results were obtained: (1) An analysis of the rolling oil, which is used in the field, revealed it to contain approximately 40 ppm carbonized material. (2) A comparison of the thermal denaturation characteristics of the fresh rolling oil and using rolling oil by FT-IR analysis showed that thermal denaturation had occurred, as shown by the significant decrease in the relative intensity of the 2900 and $1750cm^{-1}$ peaks. (3) The thermal decomposition of the rolling oil took place for the rolling oil at approximately $220^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, annealing experiments at $200^{\circ}C$ showed that the carbonization phenomenon of the sample was not observed. On the other hand, carbonization was observed at temperatures higher than $240^{\circ}C$.
