In the present work, hot workability of particulate-reinforced Al6061-20%SiC composite produced by direct hot extrusion technique was studied. Uniaxial hot compression test at various temperatures and strain rates was used and the workability behavior was evaluated from the flow curves and the attendant microstructures. It was shown that the presence of SiC particles in the soft Al6061 matrix deteriorates the hot workability. Bulging of the specimens and flow lines were observed, which indicate the plastic instability during hot working. Microstructure of the composites after hot deformation was found to be heterogeneous, i.e. the reinforcement clusters were observed at the flow lines. The mechanism of deformation was found to be controlled primarily by dynamic recrystallization.

Hot-compression tests were carried out to investigate the hot workability of Ti64 and Ti6246 alloys at different temperatures and strain rates. Processing maps were developed on the basis of the dynamic material model unifying the relationship among constitutive behavior, hot workability and microstructure development. Stable regions, defined on the basis of four stability criteria 0${\delta}log(m)/\frac{\bot}{\varepsilon})<0$, s<1 and ${\delta}log(s)/\frac{\bot}{\varepsilon})<0$, were found to be associated with dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

Hot workability of SiCp/AA2024 composites reinforced with different vol. % of SiCp reinforcements (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 vol. %) was investigated by hot torsion tests. Hot restoration of the composites was studied from the flow curves and deformed microstructures. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was occurred in all the composites during the hot deformation at 370-43$0^{\circ}C$ under a strain rate of 1.0/sec. Also, the flow stress of the composites increased with increasing the SiCp reinforcement vol. % and the difference of flow stress between the composites decreased with increasing the deformation temperature.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of adding 0.3at.%Hf in Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy on the variation of microstructures and hot workability. The effect of hot rolling on mechanical properties was estimated by measuring the elongation and tensile strength after rolling at 800 and 1000 respectively. Microstructure of Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy was consisted of large equiaxed grains and it was changed to quasi-equiaxed or columnar structures by adding 0.3at.%Hf to Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy. Every specimens showed a decreased tensile strength after hot rolling compared to that of before rolling. The elongation was increased by hot rolling. Remarkable changes in elongation by hot rollong was observed such as from 1.4% to 4.5% elongation at the specimen of 0.3at.%Hf added to Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr. Fe-30at.%Al-5at.%Cr alloy showed typical cleavage fracture on tensile failure and hot rolling has negligible effects on fracture mode in this alloy. However at the alloy containing Hf fracture mode was changed by hot rolling from intergranular to mixed intergranular and transgranular fracture mode.

Since fastener bolt for airplane require high specific strength and corrosion resistance, Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used. However, the Ti-6Al-4V bolt is generally manufactured by cutting and rolling because of their poor workability. The aim of present work is to develop hot forming technology for high strength Ti-6Al-4V. Various heat-treatments were applied to specimen in order to increase hot-workability and prevent galling with die Multiple forging were simulated with FE code to determine optimum process parameters including specimen temperature, strain rate, local strain, and thermal shrinkage. Forged samples were heat-treated again to increase their mechanical properties.

Hot workability and microstructural development of 7075Al alloy were studied by hot torsion test. With decling temperature from 440$^{\circ}C$ to 340$^{\circ}C$, and strain rate ranges form 5 ${\times}$10-3/sec to 5 ${\times}$10-1/sec , flow stress and microstructural development were analyzed . The hot resoration mechanism was found to be dynamic recrystalization (DRX) form the analysis of the flow curves and the microstructures. In multistage deformation with decreasing temperature grain refinement was obtained effectively compared to conventional thermomechanical treatment (TMT) process. The strain of the 1st stage deformation at 440$^{\circ}C$ was found to play an important role for the next stage deformation behavior at 380$^{\circ}C$.

To investigate the effect of D-ferrite on the hot workability and surface defect of STS 304 billets containing 3 wt. % Cu, microstructure observations and high temperature mechanical properties test were carried out for the specimens extracted mainly from raw or oxidized billets. It was found that the total $\delta$-ferrite content has little influence on the hot workability, even though the fracture cracks due to high temperature tension or compression test were initiated and propagated mostly along $\delta$/${\gamma}$ boundary in the specimens. On the other hand, it was supposed that the direct causes of surface defects in the wire rolled from the as-continuously cast billet were the grain boundary embrittlement arose from the deep diffusion of oxygen into the grain boundary, and the oxidation of $\delta$-ferrite connected by a grain boundary to the surface during the billet reheating process as well.

At 21st century, material development concepts were changed to fulfill the environmental friendly demands. This study is to study the effect of pressurized nitrogen gas and manganese in high nitrogen austenitic stainless steel(HNS) in which N and Mn elements substitute the nickel element. 100kg HNS ingots were made by Pressurized Vacuum Induction Melting(P-VIM) and were forged according to free forging process. As forged HNS were hot and cold rolled by pilot scale rolling machine. Depending on the rolling condition, the mechanical properties of HNS were changed. The roll thrust and sheet folding showed asymmetry condition between work and drive side during cold and hot rolling. The purpose of this study are to improve workability the hot and cold rolling machine and to set the conditions for establishing the rolling process.

Hot workability of the AA5083 alloy ws investigated by torsion test at temperature ranges of $350{\sim}520^{\circ}C$ and strain rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0/sec. The flow stress and hot ductility of the AA5083 alloy as a function of deformation variables such as temperature and train rate were studied. The microstructural evolution of the AA5083 alloy was studied in relation to Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z=exp( /RT) Also the hot restoration mechanism of the AA5083 alloy was small when Z val-ues were higher than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C,\;0.5/sec)$ In addition the difference microstructures during hot deformation. It was found that the increase of flow curves and deformed microstructures during hot deformation. It was found that the increase of flow stress of the AA5083 alloy was small when Z val-ues were higher than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C.\;0.5/sec)$. However under the low Z values less than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C,\;0.5/sec)$ the flow stress increase with increasing the Z values. The large dispersoid particles in the matrix grain decreased the flow strain of the AA5083 alloy because it caused the stress concentration during hot deformation.
