Steels applied in the automotive industry can be classified under the AHSS category, which includes dual-phase (DP) steels, complex-phase (CP) steels and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. The UHSS category mainly includes martensitic steels. The above-mentioned steel groups are well pressable, show an excellent combination of strength, service life and absorption of strain energy...

the effect of ferrite grain size on the fatigue and tensile properties of dual phase steels with a 0.25 volumefraction of martensite (vm) under different heat treatments was investigated. the heat treatments werehomogenized at 1200 oc along with several subsequent normalizations at 910 oc, resulting in differentmicrostructures and mechanical properties. after heat treatment, the obtained steels...

The decomposition of austenite to ferrite or cementite begins at the equilibrium phase boundary of austenite/ (ferrite austenite) or austenite/(cementite austenite) in binary Fe–C phase diagram. The temperature values on the phase boundaries of austenite/(ferrite austenite) and austenite/(cementite austenite) at a certain carbon content are called Ae3 and Acm temperatures of the steel, respecti...

non-destructive eddy current (ec) technique has long been used to detect discontinuities in materials. recently, its application has been extended to characterize materials microstructure. in order to identify different microstructures, four plain carbon steel bars with different chemical compositions (aisi 1015, 1035, 1045 and 1080) were used in annealed condition. the pearlite percentage, car...

Mathematical models have been developed to predict temperature, stress, and shape development during initial solidification. The heat transfer model was run for typical casting conditions in the mold for typical thin slab and conventional continuous slab casters. The calculated temperatures were input to an elastic-viscoplastic finite-element stress model of the solidifying steel shell. This mo...

in this paper, the effect of prestrain on strain aging of low carbon steels, in the temperatures of 100°c and 200°c and the aging time of 50 minutes, and also the effect of aging temperature on strain aging in a constant aging time and prestrain, are investigated. the results of experiments show that with increasing the amount of prestrain, the increase in yield stress and ultimate tensile stre...

*Member of ASM International arburizing has been a popular method for obtaining a unique balance of properties in steels for many years. Steels with low carbon contents are characterized by good toughness and good ductility, but low strength and low wear resistance. By locally increasing the carbon content at the surface, followed by heat treatment to produce a very high hardness in this layer ...

The assessment of results method of calculation tensile strength and yield strength of this cold rolled steels using the artificial neural networks in modelling relationship of elements composition (chromium, manganese, silicon, carbon), thermal treatment and properties of HCT600X, HCT780X, HCT980X steels was proposed. Was made further research using the new element chromium. Streszczenie. W ar...

A study for optimizing of siliconizing and borosiliconizing processes on carbon steels has been carried out. The process parameters, i.e, time and powder mixture, were considered for optimization of the case depth, surface quality and the hardness profile. Time and temperature of the processes were 4 hr and 950˚C, respectively. Powder mixture in siliconizing process was 2.5% ferrosilicon, 2.5%...
