End date 31 March 1995

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Objective

The aim of this project is to develop optimum hot and cold rolling and continuous annealing practices (steel compositions: 0.15% - 0.3% C; 0.8% - 2.0% Si; 0.8% - 2.0% Mn) to promote "Transformation Induced Plasticity" (TRIP) in which austenite is transformed into hard martensite by deformation. Laboratory and mill trials will be carried out, and final surface quality and welding properties checked.
