Toughness and ductility improvement in complex microstructure HSS by means of microstructural parameters optimization

Objective

High and ultra-high strength- steels with yield strengths above 1000MPa are now increasingly required by the end users. However, when increasing the strength, the toughness, ductility and formability are impaired.

Fine and complex multiphase microstructures allow improving these properties. However, increasing the complexity of the microstructure makes more and more difficult to identify the micro-structural features that are directly related to the mechanical behaviour.

This project aims to improve toughness and ductility of high strength steels with complex bainitic/martensitic microstructures and dual phase steels, by identifying the microstructure constituents, which control these properties. Models will be developed to predict toughness and ductility behaviour and these will be utilised to aid industrial scale evaluation of new high-strength steels.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.
