The objective of the current study is to determine the fatigue limit of a clean and high-performance material named as HSLA-100 steel and to compare the obtained fatigue limit with that of theoretically predicted fatigue limit by statistics of extreme value (SEV) method. Also, the size of inclusions located at the site of fatigue crack nucleation on the fracture surface of the fatigue test spec...

Microalloyed steels containing copper in order to promote precipitation hardening are one of the approaches adopted to develop new materials with high mechanical strength but minimized carbon content to assure good weldability. Besides that, the thermomechanical processing of such alloys can eliminate the subsequent quench and tempering heat treatments required by conventional steels. The effec...

Currently, advances due to tailored blanking can be enhanced by the development of new grades of advanced high-strength steels (HSSs), for the further weight reduction and structural improvement of automotive components. In the present work, diode laser welds of three different grades of advanced high-strength dual-phase (DP) steel sheets (with tensile strengths of 980, 800, and 450 MPa) to hig...

this paper investigates the residual stress fields in the vicinity of weld bead in hsla-65 steel weldments using a neural network. this study consists of two cases: (i) the experimental analysis was carried out the measurements of residual stresses by xrd technique. many different specimens that were subjected to different conditions were studied. the values and distributions of residual stress...

key account business analyst, Quaker Chemical Corp., Conshohocken, Pa., USA [email protected] Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa Inc. is the first U.S. mill to employ Steckel mill technology for producing high-quality wide coiled plates and discrete plates. Since 1985, the Steckel mill has consistently demonstrated product versatility, quality and cost advantage over traditional plate mills. The single...

• An HSLA steel was designed with the Fe 2 SiTi phase as its major strengthening phase. The Heusler phase, SiTi, can act grain refiner and precipitation strengthener. Precipitation behavior of compound is affected by Nb partitioning. Record high vol% nanosized precipitates lead to record hardness. remarkable combination strength, toughness, weldability that characterizes high-strength low-alloy...

This paper aims to investigate the fabrication of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels by wire and arc-based directed energy deposition (WADED). Firstly, relationship between process variables (including travel speed-V, current-C, voltage-U) geometrical characteristics weld beads bead height (BH), width (BW), melting pool length (MPL)) was investigated. Secondly, optimal were identified using ...
