Thin sheet material for the automotive industry, produced with an excellent balance between strength level and formability and an additional bake hardening behaviour, is still gaining importance. One possible approach to meet this goal — particularly for the production via a hot-dip galvanising ...
The maximal strength level for a given steel composition can be realised with the martensitic microstructure. However as-quenched martensitic microstructures have a low formability and toughness level. This project exploits the benefits of tempered martensite using a quenched and tempering proce...
