Introduction to Advanced High Strength Steels - Grades
Abstract
Advanced High Strength Steels that exhibit high strength and
enhanced formability are being offered around the world. These
steels have the potential to effect cost and weight savings
while improving performance.
The increased formability allows for greater
part complexity, which leads to fewer individual parts (cost
savings) and more manufacturing flexibility. Fewer parts mean
less welding (cost and cycle-time savings) and weld flanges
(mass and weight savings). Depending on design, the higher
strength can translate into better fatigue and crash
performance, while maintaining or even reducing thickness.
