Grant agreement ID: 7210-KC-106

Project closed

Start date 1 December 1989

End date 31 May 1992

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) "technical steel research", 1986-1990

Total cost € 242 000,00

EU contribution € 145 200,00

Objective

The aim of this research is to determine the fatigue strength of industrially produced stainless steel sheets and to optimize the fatigue properties for a given resistance-spot-welding configuration and for a given mechanichal treatment. This work is necessary to improve the in-service performance of welded components and thus promote the wider utilisation of stainless steels.
