Spot-Welded Tensile Properties in Automobile Ultrahigh-Strength TRIP-Aided Martensitic Steel Sheet

Shear and tensile plastic behavior of austenitic steel TRIP-120 compared with martensitic steel HSLA-100

Themechanical performanceofTRIP-120, a novel transformation induced plasticity steel alloy, is evaluated for different loading cases and strain rates. The performance is compared with HSLA-100, a lowalloy steel developed by the United States Navy and currently used in naval hulls. The response of these materials under uniaxial tension and shear was investigated to the point of fracture at isoth...

Microstructure and Tensile-Shear Properties of Resistance Spot-Welded Medium Mn Steel

The medium Mn steels are gaining increasing attention due to their excellent combination of mechanical properties and material cost. A cold-rolled 0.1C5Mn medium Mn steel with a ferrite matrix plus metastable austenite duplex microstructure was resistance spot-welded with various welding currents and times. The nugget size rose with the increase of heat input, but when the welding current excee...

Effect of Welding Conditions of Spot Welded Zone on the Tensile Strength about Aluminum Alloy (A6061)

It is considered to be available in reducing the weight of automobiles that the aluminum alloy is applied to manufacture them. The spot welding of aluminum alloys is difficult because of high welding current and small electrical resistance. It is necessary to clarify the relation between the nugget formation and the welding conditions. In this study, the relation between the spot welding condit...

Ultrahigh Strength Steel: Development of Mechanical Properties Through Controlled Cooling

Hot tensile properties of 9Cr-2WVTa reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steel

Reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels have been developed by replacing molybdenum by tungsten and niobium by tantalum in commercial elevated-temperature Cr–Mo steels to reduce half-life of radioactive isotopes. The objective of this study was to investigate tensile properties of a reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steel (9Cr-2WVTa) in normalized-tempered (NT) and quenched-tempere...
