Objective
New design concepts for the construction of advanced transportation systems, specifically automotive vehicles of high safety standards, with reduced fuel consumption and emission of exhaust gases and of low weight require the use of high-strength and ductile steels combined with enhanced energy absorption and reduced specific weight.
Another important aspect is the improvement in deep drawing and stretch forming of sheet steels for the manufacturing of tailored blanks and stiffened components. Highmanganese lightweight steels of about 18 to 26wt.-% Mn with larger amounts of aluminium (8 to 11wt.- %) fulfil these requirements.
