Damage of TWIP Steels for Automotive Application
Last modified: 2013-05-03
Abstract
Ultra high strength Fe-Mn-C austenitic steels with low Stacking Fault Energy
(SFE) have been studied for more than fifty years [1]. They offer a great
potential for reducing automotive body weight through their formability and
their high mechanical properties. Tensile strength levels higher than 1000 MPa
in combination with a high ductility (>50%) are reached by the optimization
of the Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) effect and the control of the
microstructure
