Advanced-High Strength Steels: Science, Technology, and Applications

Advanced High-Strength Steels: Science, Technology, and Applications examines grades, types, microstructures, thermal processing, deformation mechanisms, properties, performance, and applications of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). The book introduces the drivers and solutions for building lighter, safer, and more efficient automobiles and how using AHSS accomplishes weight reduction, fuel economy, and crash safety. The complex interrelationship between AHSS composition, processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties is reviewed. Design guidelines, manufacturing hurdles, advanced forming, sustainability, and evolving grades of AHSS are also discussed in the book.
