Influences of thickness, width, bend angle, applied load and holding time are evaluated over the springback in hot-rolled, high-tensile strength sheet-metals (JSH-440). Blanks' thickness, width and bend angles are considered the geometric parameters, whereas applied load and holding time are the process parameters considered in the research. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and sensitivity analysis are applied to evaluate the significance of the factors over the springback magnitude. Analytical models are developed to predict the springback in the sheet metals for the desired geometric and process parameters. Simplified analytical models are also developed for different geometries of sheet metals. Finally, the Genetic Algorithm has also been applied to determine the optimal process parameters for the minimum springback with varying geometries of the sheet metals. Finally, the influence of parameters and optimized results are discussed in detail.

Abstract YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 Steels comprise a series of high-strength, cold-rolled steels designed to meet performance and weight-saving objectives. They are an extension of Youngstown's series of hot-rolled high-strength steels (see Youngstown YS-T Steel, Alloy Digest SA-261, March 1971). The YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 steels have minimum yield strengths ranging from 50,000 psi to 140,000 psi. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-331. Producer or source: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.

The quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) process, based on the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment, has been proposed for producing high strength steels containing significant fraction of film-like retained austenite and controlled amount of fine martensite laths. In this study, a set of Q-P-T processes for C-Mn-Si-Ni-Nb hot rolled plates are designed and realized. The steels with Q-P-T processes present a combination of high strength and relatively good ductility. The origin of such mechanical properties is revealed by microstructure characterization.

The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process of advanced high strength steels results in a significant enhancement in their strength and ductility. The development of controlled rolling and cooling technology provides an efficient tool for microstructural design in steels. This approach allows to control phase transformations in order to generate the desired microstructure in steel and, thus, to achieve the required properties. To refine grain structure in a Fe-Si-Mn-Nb steel and to generate the microstructure consisting of martensitic matrix with embedded retained austenite grains, hot rolling and pressing combined with ultrafast cooling and Q&P process is employed. The slender martensite in hot rolled Q&P steel improves the strength of test steel and the flake retained austenite improves the plasticity and work hardening ability through the Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect.

The utilization of high strength steels can decrease, both, installation and operation costs of a new pipeline, since the increase of mechanical resistance can reduce the pipe wall thickness and, consequently, the weight of the pipe. For this purpose, the manufacture of electric resistance welding (ERW) pipes is recent, and it comes as an opportunity for gas pipelines, mainly onshore projects. As a function of their larger productivity, ERW pipes are more economically attractive than those produced by seamless and SAW processes. TenarisConfab and Usiminas, through studies and investments in manufacturing processes, have been working to increase their skills, in order to supply API 5L X80 ERW pipes. The steel elaborated by Usiminas is low C, high Mn, Nb, V and Ti microalloyed, and with additions of Cr and Mo, aiming to produce hot rolled coils with acicular microstructure, achieved as a combination between its chemical composition and higher cooling rates after hot rolling. The results in φ18” (457 mm) × 0,469” (11,91 mm) pipes are presented in this article. High toughness values reached at very low temperatures suggest that X80 ERW pipes developed by TenarisConfab and Usiminas may be an excellent option of choice for onshore projects that request pipes in diameters up to 20” (508 mm) and thickness up to 0.500” (12.7 mm).

Beside quenched and tempered (QT) high strength steels advanced technologies in steel manufacturing provide steels produced by the thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) with yield strength of 960 MPa. These steels differ in the carbon and micro-alloying element content. With variation of heat control TIG-welded dummy seams on both steel types were performed. Analyses concerning microstructure and residual stress evolution due to welding showed typical stress distributions according to common concepts. Yet, the TMCP-steel shows higher residual stresses than the QT-steel.

Due to the development of corrosion-resistant lightweight, todays automotive manufacturers typically use zinc coated sheet metals in the forming process. However, zinc abrasion in industrial presses decreases the process stability and often causes interruption of the whole process. The application of high strength steels leads to a significant increase of the temperature due to the plastic work. So far a detailed, quantitative analysis of the relation between temperature and zinc abrasion is not available. Therefore, this paper examines the impact of the temperature on abrasion behaviour in sheet metal processes. To achieve this, a progressive die was built. The deep drawing stage of this tool is connected to a cooling / heating system in order to obtain a constant temperature during the forming process. A variety of different galvanized sheet metals compared to commonly used tool materials has been tested. For each combination of materials five experiments at different temperatures were performed to determine the effect of the temperature on the zinc abrasion. Applying the method of total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) the quantity of zinc abrasion was measured. A relation between low temperatures and reduced zinc abrasion can be clearly observed. Industrial experiments revealed that temperature exerts a high influence on the zinc abrasion. The new insights into the impact of the temperature show a significant way to lower the zinc abrasion and therefore increase the process stability in deep drawing processes.

New 700MPa hot rolled ultra-high strength steels were successfully developed by using Ti micro-alloying technology in CSP line. Experimental methods, such as OM, TEM and chemical phase analysis, were used to study the experimental steel. The microstructure is composed of quasi-polygonal ferrite grains, whose average grain size is about 4μm. Large number of nanometer TiC particles distribute along dislocations. The mass fraction of MX phase is 0.0793wt%, in which the particles smaller than 10nm account for 33.7%. The contribution of precipitation hardening resulting from nanometer particles is calculated as approximate 158MPa.

Laser forming or bending is fast becoming an attractive option for the forming of advanced high strength steels (AHSS), due primarily to the reduced formability of AHSS when compared with conventional steels in traditional contact-based forming processes. An inherently iterative process, laser forming must be optimized for efficiency in order to compete with contact based forming processes; as such, a robust and accurate method of optimal process parameter prediction is required. In this paper, goal driven optimization is conducted, utilizing numerical simulations as the basis for the prediction of optimal process parameters for the laser bending of DP 1000 steel. A key consideration of the optimization process is the requirement for minimal micro-structural transformation in automotive grade high strength steels such as DP 1000.
