These steels are cold formed to make lightweight structural elements. A number of automotive parts, such as sills and door reinforcements, have simple shapes and the steel is therefore only slightly deformed. For this reason, ArcelorMittal has added the family of steels to its range. These steels offer high as-delivered yield strength and good bendability and stretch flangeability. Applications Given their high energy absorption capacity and fatigue strength, these grades are particularly well suited for automotive safety components requiring good impact strength and for suspension system components.

Please consult us about products under development. Recommendations for use and secondary processing Forming Although their ultimate elongation is lower than that of DP and TRIP steels, steels have good formability for their high strength level. Forming limit curves can be used to define maximum strains without necking for different deformation paths. Forming limit curves for steels: in 1.5 mm thickness 6
in 3 mm thickness In addition, steels exhibit good roll-forming, bending and hole expansion behavior. The graph below illustrates hole expansion behavior according to the ISO 16630 standard for a number of Dual Phase and steels with UTS=1000 MPa. The family -and especially the Stretch Flangeable (SF) product, which was specially designed for exceptional stretch flangeability -has higher hole expansion values. View of hole expansion in grades CR-CP 1000 and CR-CP 1000 SF in 1.5 mm thickness. The CP 1000 SF achieves a much higher hole expansion value. The table below shows typical minimum bending radius values for steels in 1.5 mm thickness. 7

Welding Resistance spot welding The range of steels has very good resistance spot weldability. The welding range, determined according to the ISO 18278-2 standard, is quite wide.

ArcelorMittal can provide technical assistance in adjusting the welding parameters for all steels in the range. Fatigue 8
steels exhibit good fatigue properties and can be used in suspension system parts such as suspension arms. The table below gives examples of Wöhler curves for a variety of steels. They are expressed as stress amplitude versus cycles to failure and are obtained with a stress ratio of R = 0.1 and repeated tensile loading. Wöhler or SN curves for steels (R=0.1) The graph below shows the low cycle or EN curves for the same steels. These are expressed as strain amplitude versus number of reversals (one cycle equals two reversals). Other high and low cycle fatigue data are available on request. Low cycle or EN curves for steels (R=-1) ArcelorMittal can provide a full database on the fatigue performance of steels. Impact strength As a result of their very high YS and UTS values, steels are particularly well suited for anti-intrusion parts. steels have been characterized in the 3-point bending flex test using top hat cross-section specimens impacted at 30 kph. The tests showed very good behavior of these steels. Mass savings potential compared to an HA 380 steel (reference) ArcelorMittal Last update: 03-05-2018 9
