High Strain Rate Behaviour of Hot Formed Boron Steel with Tailored Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)In an automotive crash event, hot stamped, die quenched martensitic structural components have been shown to provide excellent intrusion resistance. These alloys exhibit only limited ductility, however, which may limit the ... -
Hot Forming of Boron Steels with Tailored Mechanical Properties: Experiments and Numerical Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-13)Hot forming of boron steels is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry due to the demands for weight reduction and increased safety requirements for new vehicles. Hot formed components offer a significant ... -
Hot Stamping of a Boron Steel Side Impact Beam with Tailored Flange Properties - Experiments and Numerical Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)The effect of tailoring of hot stamped components is investigated, specifically the introduction of a tailored (locally softened) flange within an otherwise martensitic hot formed side impact beam. The effect of tailoring ...
