Manufacturing guidelines when using ultra high strength steels in automotive applications

Cel

In recent years, the drive for weight reduction in the automotive industry, resulting from pressures for improved fuel economy and performance is reflected by the increased utilisation of high strength steels (HSS). There is also potential for the utilisation of ultra high strength steels (UHSS) to improve performance. However, the UHSS do not present the same properties as the materials they are replacing and certain applications need to be addressed in order to effect their use within the automotive industry. The project will focus on steels with a tensile strength of between 600 and 1200N/MPa. A number of issues relating to the manufacturability and design of UHSS will be investigated including formability and springback, weldability, fatigue life and crash performance. The research aims at the generation of a comprehensive set of manufacturing guidelines for the use of UHSS in automotive components.
