Abstract:

In the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,DP780 and DP980, were studied. Detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of ferrite-ferrite-martensite, was the most probable mechanism for void nucleation. Also, it was found that ductile fracture in these steels was nucleation controlled such that just before ductile fracture incidence, a high density of voids would nucleate or a sudden accelerated void nucleation could happen. Microscopic observations as well as statistical analysis confirmed this phenomenon. Moreover, damage analysis suggested that the void nucleation rate was higher in DP980 than DP780 steel. It seemed to be highly influenced by the morphology and distribution of martensite particles within the ferrite matrix.

High Temperature Behavior of Dual Phase Steels

Dual phase steels with different martensite volume fraction and morphology were tensile tested at a temperature range of 25 to 5500C. Stress-strain curves of all steels showed serration flow at temperatures of 250 and 3500C, and smooth flow at the other temperatures. Both yield and ultimate tensile strengths increased with increasing testing temperature up to about 450<sup...

Laser welding of modern automotive high strength steels

The paper demonstrates the correlation between the chemical composition of steel grades and the hardness as well as the formability of laser welds generated with modern automotive high strength steel grades. At the very low heat input of industrial laser welding and the resulting extremely high cooling rate, the weld hardness is fully controlled by the carbon content of the base materials and n...

Mechanical properties determination of dual-phase steels using uniaxial tensile and hydraulic bulge test

Numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes need the establishment of highly reliable results, which in turn need the accurate identification of mechanical properties. In this paper a study is presented on the choice of the characterization function of flow stress-strain curve of sheet metal materials, as well as the selection of the best yield locus, based on experimental uniaxial t...

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...
