• AHSS steels have both high strength and good formability. • A mixture of microstructures gives AHSS their properties. • Designers should aim for structural efficiency, thin plates, and strong joints ...

Automotive, aerospace and defence applications require metallic materials with ultra-high strength. However, in some particular high-loading structural applications, metallic materials shall also have ...

A Japanese research team has found a way to double the fatigue limit of high-strength martensitic steel without sacrificing tensile strength. Their pre-fatigue training method suppresses crack ...

Automotive steels can be divided into a number of ways. The first classification method is a metallurgical group that provides certain amount of process information. General classifications include ...

Steel remains the backbone of modern infrastructure, from skyscrapers to cars, but pushing its mechanical limits has long meant choosing between strength and ductility. Advanced high-strength steels ...
