Multilayered steel

Performance of DP590

DP steel is widely applied to the components in automobile to absorb energy during accident. The exceptional deformability of DP steel is the key to the passenger's safety.

Performance of multilayered steel

By replacing DP590 with multilayered steel, even better energy absorption is expected. The experiment was conducted with the exactly the same condition as DP590, such as sheet thickness, column width and length, and applied impact energy.

Phase transformation of low-carbon steels observed by laser microscope

Formation of ferrite side plates

Ferrite side plate is one of the microstructures of low-carbon steel develops during continuous cooling process. Understanding of the formation kinetics is important for controlling performance of low-carbon steels, especially in heat affected zone of weld joint. In-situ observation has been conducted to clarify the formation mechanism.

Formation of martensite blocks

Martensite in low-carbon steel has a unique characteristics with respect to the crystal orientation relationship, which affects the mechanical properties of low-carbon steels, such as strength and toughness. Thus, numerous investigations have been conducted to clarify the crystallographic features of the martensite microstructure. In-situ observation has been conducted to clarify the formation mechanism.
