Improving fatigue life of special steels by modifying their inclusion engineering

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-PR-047

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1997

End date 31 December 2000

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 953 000,00

EU contribution € 571 800,00

Coordinated by

Objective

The main aim of this research project is to design and model a Si-deoxidation process that will provide steels with high plasticity inclusions (SiO2-rich), and hence fatigue performance, for use as high specification special steels for the automotive industry. The work programme will be based on SiCr spring steels for practical purposes, but the conclusions will be applicable to all high strength steels with high fatigue requirements for future use in the production of automotive components.
