The ways in which strengthening mechanisms contribute to the yield strength of a given steel, and how they can be used to create required combinations of strength and toughness of steels for a variety of structural applications will be examined.

Description
Lightweighting in the structures is today recognised as one of the most important strategies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce climate-changing. For that reason, it is important to make a prediction of the yield strength to try to optimise the steel chemical composition and the process routes. In this module the individual contributions to the yield strength of different steels will be presented. After that, the theoretical considerations (Newbach) will be introduced with two models, one proposed by Hansen and the other proposed by Jian, Fuyu & WenChong. Finally, the Combining Strengthening mechanisms to design steels will be showed.
What you will learn
- Analyse the magnitude of individual steel composition;
- Compare different models to predict Yield Strength;
- Evaluate different steel compositions and process routes to predict its properties.
