Abstract
The effect of 3 forging routes (Route A - 1~12 passes by plane forging (PF) and reverse-plane forging (R-PF), Route B – 1~6 passes by PF and R-PF, 7~12 passes by diagonal forging (DF) and reversediagonal forging (R-DF), Route C – 1~12 passes by DF and R-DF) on maximum load..... More

Abstract
The effect that forging routes (3 routes, A-C) exert on the development of deformation heterogeneity in AA1100 was theoretically performed using finite element analysis. Route A corresponded to a forging process that involved from 1 to 6 passes through multi-axial diagonal forging (MADF); Route B corresponded to a forging process..... More

Abstract
The deformation and failure behaviors of dissimilar metal joints between SS400 steel and STS316L steel were investigated. The dissimilar metal joints were fabricated using the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process with STS309 steel as a filler metal. The microstructures of the dissimilar metal joints were investigated using an optical..... More

Abstract
The effect of the strength coefficient (K_B) of bainite on micromechanical deformation and failure behaviors of a hot-rolled 590MPa steel (590FB) during uniaxial tension was simulated using the elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM). The spatial distribution of the constituent phases was obtained using a phase identification technique based on optical..... More
