Material Characterization Objective Generate Data Bank on Chemical, Mechanical, Physical & Dynamic Properties of Automotive Grade Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) & Aluminum Alloys. Significance Increased environmental concerns are driving the auto industry to continual weight reduction of vehicles. Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) enable weight reduction due to their higher strength and energy absorbing capacity. Increased strain rates change the mechanical behavior of a material. It is important to study the high strain rate properties of the materials to achieve optimum design, further weight reduction and safer vehicles

phase is a mixture of martensite and small amount of retained austenite Methodology Evaluate various mechanical, physical and dynamic properties of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) and Al alloys emerging for crashworthiness applications. Correlate the properties of the materials with their microstructure, chemical composition, residual stresses and texture. Various properties evaluated include Tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity High strain rate properties (energy absorption, true stress - true strain curves, strain rate exponent) Fatigue properties (S-N Curve without stress concentration and with the Stress Concentration Factor of 2.5 & 4. Also E-N curves) Microstructure and phase distribution Texture analysis Residual stresses Materials Covered Include Dual Phase (DP) steels Bake Hardened (BH) steels Interstitial Free (IF) steels HSLA Martensitic steels Al-alloys emerging for body applications New Facilities Established Include PANalytical XPert PRO X-ray Diffractometer (Phase Identification and quantification, Retained Austenite, Texture, Residual Stresses) Instron High Strain Rate Testing machine (65kN Capacity, max velocity 20m/s)
