Description
The automotive industry has used improved materials since 1980, especially in the vehicle structure or body, where traditional low-carbon steel sheets have been replaced with high-strength steel (HSS) and recently, with advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), to produce lighter and safer vehicles. This change has raised the need to accurately predict the response of the steels to various plastic forming processes. In this module three theories of the development of annealing textures will be explained and then related between them.
The mechanism to strengthen metals known as texture strengthening will be introduced.
Finally, texture influencing the mechanical and other properties of steel and other metals will be explained.
What you will learn
- Describe three theories that relate texture with nuclei growth;
- Explain how texture influences the mechanical and other properties of steel and other metals;
- Justify why the control of texture is critical in the production of interstitial free and electrical steels.
