High strength low alloy steel (HSLA DOCOL 500 LA) is utilized in the automotive structure because of its superior qualities such as good fatigue resistance, a high strength-to-weight ratio, assisting reducing weight vehicle, increasing fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) most welding technique that used to join automobile parts together. This study investigate...

The new generation of steel grades that can be used in automotive construction is increasing day by and the material selection becomes very important both design manufacturing processes due to development materials. In this study, data on tensile strength, formability, load weld joints bear, fatigue stress, corrosion resistance price criteria high strength low alloy (HSLA), dual phase (DP), thr...

In this research the role of alloying elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties of an as cast and hot rolled high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel was studied. Different compositions with different amount of copper in the presence of nickel, hot rolled and quenched in oil. Tensile test, hardness test, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM) were used to eval...

Strain induced precipitation in HSLA-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°C to 1100°C and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. The absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°C was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. The stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

The understanding of the hardenability is important in steel development with respect to weldability of steels as well as to the design of quenched and tempered steels. The common way to judge if steel is suitability to welding is the use of a carbon equivalent, which reflects the alloy content to the hardenability of the heat affected zone (HAZ). Most common of these equivalents is the IIW car...
