Mechanical Properties of Steel DC01 Formed by Drece Method

Abstract

The main goal of the paper is a review of current achieved results given by processing of steel DC01 by DRECE (Dual Rolls Equal Channel Extrusion) forming process, whose prototype equipment has been put in service in the end of 2009 at VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Mechanical Technology. The paper analyses the effect of the DRECE forming process on the mechanical properties and deep – drawing sheet metal formability of the steel DC01.
