Description
Microalloyed steel forgings provide lightweight, high performance and cost effective solutions for many critical automotive components in the drivetrain and chassis of modern cars and trucks. These high strength steel forgings are already widely used in new vehicle designs required to meet increasingly stringent weight and emission targets. In this module the processing of microalloyed forging steels will be explained to discover the optimum forging temperature. Then, the applications and the improved alternatives of microalloyed steel forgings will be developed. Finally, the air hardening microalloyed steels will be presented with their applications and performance.
What you will learn
- Identify the composition and properties of air hardening microalloyed forging steels;
- Describe the process to achieve the desired properties;
- Recognise their applications.
