Recently, due to the requirements of lightweight and safety, the grade of 980MPa high-strength steel has the demand of high hole expansibility and high yield strength. Due to the large difference of hardness between the soft ferrite and hard martensite, the traditional DP980Y dual phase steel has poor hole expansibility. In order to improve the hole expansibility of DP980Y dual phase steel, the best way is to modify the microstructure into a single-phase to eliminate the large difference of hardness. In this paper, the steel of nearly full bainite microstructure with small amount of ferrite and M/A constituents was studied. Compared to the DP980Y dual phase steel, it was found that this modified steel with a single-phase microstructure has the same grade of 980MPa of tensile strength, but can achieve the demand of higher yield strength and hole-expansion ratio. This study shows reducing the amount of ferrite can increase the homogeneity of matrix with the single phase to improve the hole expansibility. In addition, the use of lower bainite transformation temperature and lower carbon content has the higher hole-expansion ratio due to the less amount of M/A constituents.

The hole expansion process is a forming process that the fracture easily occurred on the hole edge. Therefore, many research papers presented various processes to make a precision pre-hole shearing to a hole expansion process such as wire cut, EDM, and laser cut. The purpose of this work is to increase a hole expansion ratio on the high strength steel sheet. The conventional piercing by piercing punch and piercing with a counter punch was used to make a pre-hole shearing process in this research paper. The high strength steel grade 590 and 980 MPa of 1.2 mm of thickness were used in the experiments. From experimental results, it was found that the pre-hole shearing by piercing with a counter punch can be increased a shear surface on cutting edge of workpiece. Moreover, the used piercing with counter punch can improve the hole expansion ratio more than the conventional piercing process because sheared surface around the hole edge was increased.

800MPa grade Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), including Complex Phase steel CP800 and Ferrite-Bainite steel FB800, were chosen to test the forming performance in different test conditions and compared with the reference traditional high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels HR700LA. Tensile test, hole expansion (HE) test, and HAT shape stamping test were taken to investigate the forming performance of the materials. Test results indicated that the studied 800MPa grade AHSS showed a better strength ductility balance compared with the reference steel. Among all the steels researched, FB800 showed the best hole expansion ratio (HER), and CP800 the worst. Springback angles of AHSS after HAT shape stamping tests were markedly smaller than those of HR700LA steels, though the springback angles of HR700LA decreased continuously with blank holding force (BHF) increasing. Steel FB800, CP800S and CP800B had much better shape stability compared with steels HR700LA. AHSS showed much smaller springback behavior under the same stamping condition, especially for steels CP800-B, FB800-2 and FB800-1. When increasing the BHF to 100KN, AHSS showed the largest springback deformation. Among the three kinds of CP800 steels researched, steel CP800-B indicated outstanding springback restrain trend in BHF further increasing attempt. So, springback behavior could be restricted obviously by using a larger BHF in AHSS CP800B forming operations.

Abstract USS Dual Phase 80 is a high-strength steel sheet which has a dual phase structure of martensite and ferrite. It provides all the benefits of higher strength with little sacrifice in ductility, formability or weldability. Dual Phase 80 gains strength as it is formed through rapid work hardening of its unique microstructure; in fact, it increases from its delivered yield strength of 50,000 psi up to 80,000 psi (or more) in forming. Its final strength depends on the amount of forming. Its many applications include automotive vehicles, farm equipment and heavy construction equipment. This datasheet provides information on composition, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining.
