Project Description
Initial Position:
Development of advanced high strength steels with good cold formability and edge-cracking behaviour for body-in-white application.
RFCS Research Project:
Understanding the formation mechanisms of morphology (size, shape, discribution) of second phase constituents (martensite, retained austenite, carbides) in bainitic matrix.
Understanding the microstructure-mechanical properties relationship in banitic steels with secondary phases.
Understanding the role of second phases on damage behaviour.
Results:
Guidelines for producing bainitic high strength steels with high elongation and forming capacity.
Total amount: 1,8 M€
Duration: 07/2014 -> 06/2018
Project status: running
