  • Publication number: 20150252456
    Abstract: A steel material having a chemical composition contains 0.0010% to 0.0030% C, 0.05% or less Si, 0.1% to 0.5% Mn, 0.021% to 0.060% Ti, and 0.0005% to 0.0050% B on a mass basis such that B/C satisfies 0.5 or more, whereby a resulting cold-rolled steel sheet has a microstructure dominated by ferrite with an average grain size of 10 ?m to 30 ?m, a proportional limit of 100 MPa or less, and excellent shape fixability.

  • Patent number: 8449699
    Abstract: A cold-rolled steel sheet includes, on a percent by mass basis: C: 0.0010% to 0.0030%, Si: 0.05% or less, Mn: 0.1% to 0.3%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.02% or less, Al: 0.02% to 0.10%, N: 0.005% or less, and Nb: 0.010% to 0.030% and the remainder composed of Fe and incidental impurities, wherein values in a rolling direction and a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction are within a range of 1.0 to 1.6, and a mean value Elm of elongations in the rolling direction, a direction at 45° with respect to the rolling direction, and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction is 40% or more, where Elm=(ElL+2×ElD+ElC)/4 and ElL: elongation in the rolling direction, ElD: elongation in the direction at 45° with respect to the rolling direction, and ElC: elongation in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction.

  • Patent number: 8024158
    Abstract: A management system of CAD data is provided, which stores sets of the CAD data, and a set of mesh conditions under which a CAE model is created from each of the sets of the CAD data and a set of analysis conditions under which CAE analysis on the created CAE model is performed associated with each set of the CAD data. Moreover, the management system of CAD data, to perform the CAE analysis on one of the sets of the CAD data, reads from the storage unit the set of the CAD data, and the set of the mesh conditions and the set of the analysis conditions associated with the set of the CAD data, creates the CAE model from the set of the CAD data under the read set of the mesh conditions, and perform the CAE analysis on the created CAE model under the read set of the analysis conditions.
