In the automotive industry, cold-drawn austenitic stainless steel is commonly used to handle high fuel pressures in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. In this study, we analyzed the effects of main process variables such as cross-sectional shape, drawing speed and friction coefficient on the microstructure, hardness and residual stress of the drawn material in the two-step cold drawing process. By changing the cross-sectional shape in the first-step cold drawing, the possibility of improving the shape accuracy or physical properties of the finally cold-drawn fuel rail pressure sensor product was investigated.

The microstructure and mechanical property of 0.19C-1.17Cr steel were investigated with cold drawing. This commercial steel has the microstructure that is consist of ferrite and pearlite. The tensile and yield strength are increased as the reduction ratio of cold drawing is increased. It was clear that mechanical properties could be improved by combination of the heat treatments and reduction ratio. Yield strength. tensile strength, and impact value were formulated as a constitutive function of cold drawing ratio, respectively.

Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through multi-stage drawing dies. The aim of this study is to fabricate a drawing wire using 2 stage drawing process. The finite element analysis of wire drawing was conducted to validate the efficiency of the designed process and the experiment was performed to validate the designed wire drawing process using 2 stage tungsten carbide die. Dry lubricant with powder was applied for producing a wire of desired diameter. Finally, a drawing wire using 2 stage die for cold rolling mill was developed.

The main purpose of the present study has been placed on investigating the mechanical properties and microstructures of C-Si-Mn-V steels for cold forming manufactured by controlled rolling and cooling technology. The steels were manufactured in electric arc furnace (EAF) and casted to $160{\times}160mm$ billet. The billets were reheated in walking beam furnace and rolled to coil, the stocks were rolled by Controlled Rolling and Cooling Technology (CRCT), so rolled at low temperature by water spraying applied in rolling stage and acceleratly cooled before coiling. Rolled coils were cold drawed to the degree of 16%, 27% of area reduction respectively without heat treatment. Microstructual observation, tensile test, compression test and charpy impact tests were conducted. The mechanical properties of the steels were changed by area reduction of cold drawing and it is founded that there are optimum level of cold drawing to minimize compression stress for these steels. From the result of this study, it is conformed that $80kg_{f}/mm^{2},\;90kg_{f}/mm^{2}$ grade high strength microalloyed steel for cold forming are developed by accelerated cooling and optimum cold drawing.

The main purpose of the present study has been placed on investigating the effects of controlled rolling and cooling on the microstructures and mechanical properties of C-Si-Mn-V steels for cold forming. The steels were manufactured in vacuum induction melting(VIM) furnace and casted to 1.1ton Ingots and the ingots were forged to $\Box150$ billet. The forged billets were reheated in walking beam furnace and rolled to coil, the stocks were rolled by Controlled Rolling and Cooling Technology (CRCT), so rolled at low temperature by water spraying applied in rolling stage and acceleratly cooled before coiling. Rolled coils were cold drawed to the degree of $27\%$ of area reduction without heat treatment. Microstructual observation, tensile test, compression test and charpy impact tests were conducted. The mechanical properties of the steels were changed by area reduction of cold drawing and it is founded that there are optimum level of cold drawing to minimize compression stress for these steels. From the result of this study, it is conformed that mechanical properties and microstructure of C-Si-Mn-V steels for cold forming were enhanced by accelerated cooling and founded optimum level of cold drawing.

MTS(Monobloc Tube Shaft) has been used for the reduction in weight of shaft and increase in supply of power in the auto industry nowadays. Cold drawing process having high productivity and reduction in the cost has been regarded as the effective technology that is able to substitute for swaging process as forming MTS with constant outer diameter or hollow shaft without surface defects. The objective of this study is not only to (md out the optimal process conditions understanding the effect of process parameters on carrying out cold drawing process of SIS(Steering Input Shaft) but also to control the defects resulted from inappropriate process conditions. Therefore, the proper drawing conditions are presented using FE-Analysis and experiment in the paper.

A crank-slider mechanism is driven by the rotating disk with are crank-pin guide to be applied to the deep drawing and cold forging presses. Load characteristics for different presses are summarized to see the basics of deep drawing of sheet metal and forging in terms of load-stroke relationship. Several types of conventional deep drawing presses are also shown to be compared with the ratating disk-types press. Kinematic performances by thearc guide driving mechanism are anlayzed in terms of load capaicty, stroke, and slide velocity characteristics, and they are compared with those by conventional driving , e.g. Niagara-typepress and so on. Kinematically better performances is shown by arc guide drive than those by conventional ones. The new driving mechanism is also proven to be one of the best for mass production press in terms of short cycle time. Possible applications of the arc guide press to deep drawing and cold forging work are in terms of kinematics and load capacity.

Low temperature ${\delta}$-precipitation phenomenon below 2-step aging ($718^{\circ}C$, $8hr+621^{\circ}C$, 8 hr) temperature of cold drawn Inconel 718 alloy wire was investigated. The investigation was carried out on wires with a cold drawn ratio of 0, 20, 50 and 70% using OM, SEM, XRD, TEM, and DSC. In microstructures of 50 and 70% drawn wire, many precipitates were found along the grain boundaries and the twin boundaries in deformation band. From the results of the XRD and TEM analysis, the precipitates were identified as plate-like ${\delta}$-phase. From the results of the DSC analysis, it was also found that a temperature of ${\delta}$-precipitation decreases with an increase of the cold drawn ratio. We concluded that cold drawing of inconel 718 wire promotes the ${\delta}$-precipitation, and under the condition of a high drawing ratio, the ${\delta}$-phase could be precipitated at a temperature below the aging temperature ($718^{\circ}C$).

The effects of drawing temperature and draw down ratio on thermal properties, crystallinity and orientation of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PTT/PET) 100/0 ,90/10, and 80/20 blends have been investigated. The crystallinity and glass transition temperature increased while cold crystallization temperature and cold enthalpy decreased due to the development of orientation and stress induced crystallization by the cord drawing. Introducing PET to PTT decreased the crystallinity of PTT. However, it enhanced the orientation of PTT/PET blends drawn at below the glass transition temperature of PET. This lead to the increase of tensile modulus and tensile strength of PTT/PET blends. The shrinkage increased with increasing orientation, which might be minimized by the development of crystalline morphology of PTT in the course of cold drawing.
