Metastable Austenitic Cast Steel with TRIP/TWIP Properties - Resource Efficiency Through Cold Forming
摘要
In addition to the use of special lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium, corrosion resistant CrNi steels are increasingly becoming the focus of a wide range of research activities concerning fasteners. Against the background of resource efficiency, the energy-saving potential of a new production route is demonstrated using the example of a process chain for screw manufacturing. The focus is on the extrusion molding of a new type of metastable austenitic cast steel alloy with TRIP (Transformation-Induced Plasticity) and TWIP (Twinning Induced Plasticity) properties in which the cost-intensive element nickel has been substituted by copper.
