Stretch-flangeability of strong multiphase steels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stretch-flangeability measures the ability of a material to form into a complex shape. The parameter is often related to simple properties derived from tensile tests. An attempt is made here to discover the best way to exploit tensile test data to indicate flangeabilty. It is found that the ultimate tensile strength of steel is the single most important criterion that correlates with stretch-flangeability.

Color metallography; a suitable method for characterization of martensite and bainite in multiphase steels
Color metallography is a useful method for characterizing microstructures of steels with multiple phases. In this paper, application of three different color etching techniques for a bainitic-martensitic steel is reported. Comparisons between the results showed that 10% Na2S2O5 aqueous solution was the best etchant for distinguishing martensite, bainite and ferr...
متن کاملAsutenite Retention in low Al/Si multiphase steels
The possibility to obtain multiphase steels with considerable fractions of retained austenite, which is of key interest for the occurrence of the TRIP effect, is investigated in steels with low amounts of Si and Al. Special emphasis is dedicated to the microstructural observation of this phase, since its volume fraction, distribution and stability, related to the carbon content, will determine ...
متن کاملNiobium 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...

Experimental Characterisation of the Bainitic Transformation Kinetics of Residual Austenite in Mn-Si TRIP-Assisted Multiphase Steels
Recent studies on TRIP-assisted multiphase steels have emphasised the drastic importance of the bainitic transformation in the optimisation of properties. Bainitic ageing is necessary for the stabilisation of austenite with respect to the martensitic transformation. This metastable retained austenite can still transform to martensite when plastically deformed (TRIP effect). The present work dea...
