Laser Oscillating of Nickel Alloyed Welds on Press-Hardened Steel

Strong Ferritic – Steel Welds

There are many steels which are stronger than 2000 MPa, with toughness values exceeding 100 MPa m and which have been in commercial service for many decades. Examples include the marageing alloys and carbide–free bainitic steels. By contrast, welding consumables with a proof strength in excess of 1000 MPa are few and far between. This is because whereas wrought steels can be thermomechanically ...

Development of Niobium Alloyed Press Hardening Steel with Improved Properties for Crash Performance

Press hardening steel has become a much used material in car body manufacturing due to its excellent safety and lightweight potential. In some recent car models press hardening steel has reached already a weight share of more than 20% in the body structure while it is estimated that it could reach even around 40% in the future. However conventional press hardening steel based on the alloying co...

Mechanical Behavior of Precipitation Hardened Aluminum Alloys Welds

Finite Element Analysis of Hardened Steel Cutting

Hard machining, as attractive replacement for many rough and finish grinding operation, generates high cutting forces and temperature that enhance tool wear when act together. Therefore, the tool geometry and machining parameters have to be carefully optimized for a given material. Because of high cost and time consuming experimental work up-to-date advanced software for modeling and simulation...
