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 consequence, hydrogen absorption occurring during the corrosion process in aqueous environments may enhance the sensitivity of these steels to different kinds of hydrogen-induced damage, in particular Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). In order to predict and prevent SCC, it is important to study the behaviour of hydrogen in these austenitic steels exposed to aqueous environments and in particular the dependence on the alloy chemistry and microstructure. SIMS profiles of deuterium introduced by cathodic charging in selected specimens were used to characterize the diffusion of hydrogen in these steels. This allowed to be studied the role of chemical composition and microstructure on the kinetics of H absorption at room temperature. The competition between bulk matrix diffusion and short-circuit diffu...

In general, an increase in tensile strength for a given metallurgy is obtained to the detriment of ductility. ARCELOR and TKS have developed a new super-high strength steel with TWinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) for weight reduction and improved crash resistance named X-IP 1000. This austenitic product, which is based on a high manganese alloy metallurgy, has a tensile strength greater than 1000 MPa for a total elongation superior to 50%. In this paper we present the various mechanical properties and compare them with conventional high strength steels (HSLA, DP, TRIP, etc.) and formable grades (DDQ). The tensile and forming properties are studied using standard test methods (stretching, bending, etc.). In addition, spot welding parameters and the mechanical behaviour of spot welds are presented. The crash resistance potential is investigated using dynamic tensile testing and dynamic ...

The probabilistic model is based on a Poisson point process. Within the weakest link theory, the model corresponds to a Weibull law for the fatigue limits. The

Here a review of the relations between microstructure and mechanical properties is presented focusing on plasticity mechanisms, strain-hardening, yield stress, texture, fracture and fatigue. This summarized knowledge explains why TWIP steel metallurgy is currently a topic of great practical interest and fundamental importance. Finally, this publication indicates some of the main avenues for future investigations required in order to sustain the quality and the dynamism in this field.
