Prediction of Mechanical Properties for High Strength Low Alloyed Steels in a Commercial Hot Dip Galvanizing Line without Soaking Section

Niobium Alloyed High Strength Steels for Automotive Applications

Modern vehicle bodies make intensive use of high strength steel grades to meet the contradicting demand of lighter weight and simultaneously better mechanical performance. For many steel grades microalloying by niobium is the key to achieve their characteristic property profile. In HSLA steels niobium enhances the strength primarily by grain refinement. In interstitial free high strength steels...

Setting Mechanical Properties of High Strength Steels for Rapid Hot Forming Processes

Hot stamping of sheet metal is an established method for the manufacturing of light weight products with tailored properties. However, the generally-applied continuous roller furnace manifests two crucial disadvantages: the overall process time is long and a local setting of mechanical properties is only feasible through special cooling techniques. Hot forming with rapid heating directly before...

High Temperature Mechanical Properties of the As-cast Low Carbon Steels and Their Prediction

Steel undergoes multiple phase transformations during casting and various forces of technological origin affect a slab in the casting machine. As a consequence of these infl uences, various types of defects arise during the casting process [1 5]. The slab surface quality is a crucial factor for quality of the end products, especially of the fl at ones. Plasticity of the steel is a further, very...
