Objective

Multi-phase steels, including dual-phase steels, show promise as high strength/high formability steels for the automotive industry. This research project will attempt to develop a design tool for producing multi-phase steels with desired mechanical properties. Experimental work will include elaboration of multi-phase steels with different microstructures mainly by hot rolling + cold rolling + continuous annealing, in combination with finite element calculations. This work will allow multi-phase steels with specific metallurgical features to be defined which have the desired mechanical properties.
