Predicting Transient Softening in the Sub-Critical Heat-Affected Zone of Dual-Phase and Martensitic Steel Welds
Abstract
To improve vehicle fuel economy and crash worthiness the automotive industry has been redesigning parts from advanced high strength steels such as dual-phase and martensitic steels. These steels have high strengths with the higher formability characteristics when compared to lower strength conventional steels of similar ductility. These steels derive their unique properties from their complex microstructures containing ferrite and martensite. …
