Development of Hot-Rolled Advanced High-Strength Steels of Shougang
摘要
Even though the utilization of cold rolled advanced high strength steelsAdvanced high strength steel (AHSSsAHSSs) for automotive body structure applications is becoming rather common, application of hot rolledHot rolled AHSSsAHSSs for automotive chassis structures is comparatively novel. In this paper, the development of hot rolledHot rolled AHSSsAHSSs in Shougang were introduced. In accordance with the demanding of customers, a serial of hot-rolled AHSSsAHSSs were developed in Shougang, combined with the production equipment’s of hot rollingHot rolling. The chemical composition and mechanical propertiesMechanical properties of AHSSsAHSSs of shougang were presented. The microstructuralMicrostructural characteristics were described by means of metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope. Hot rolledHot rolled AHSSsAHSSs of Shougang have been widely used in subframe, control arms, torsion beam and other chassis parts of automobile due to their excellent mechanical propertiesMechanical properties. They have been developed to address the current automotive market challenges, and will exert a more significant role in weight reduction and safety of passenger cars in the future.
