Determination of deformation properties using the Aramis system (GOM)
2012-02-15
Modern steels used in automotive manufacture feature very high strengths and good deformation properties. In addition, these materials demonstrate particularly good hardening properties at the high deformation speeds that occur in a crash. High-speed tensile tests provide the parameters for new steel materials that are used in crash simulations.

Pipelines – Industry's Steel Network
2012-02-01
What do water, petroleum and natural gas have in common? All three substances must be transported economically across very great distances. As a rule, the overland transport of these media takes place in pipelines - steel pipes, sometimes thousands of kilometers long. Depending on the application, these large-diameter pipes place very complex demands on steel as the material in use. Salzgitter Flachstahl has been developing and producing modern pipe steels for industry for several decades.

Hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steels
2012-01-12
Dual-phase steels belong to the group of multi-phase steels. In vehicle construction, they meet the key challenge of enabling a low body weight while ulfilling the requirements for high passive vehicle safety at the same time. In order to achieve this goal, high-strength steels with good forming properties are finding increasingly use in new vehicle generations.

New methodology for numerical springback compensation
2011-11-23
High-strength and ultra high-strength steels offer light-weight construction potential for structural parts in modern car body engineering. However, the increased yield strength will lead to pronounced springback effects on component geometry in the forming process. Specific software tools that predict springback effects on the components by means of finite elements simulation are therefore employed in the automotive and supplier industries in order to reduce development times.
