Current situation and properties of ultra-high strength steel for automotive use in Japan
Ultra-high strength steels with a tensile strength of 1,000 MPa to 1,200 MPa have been used for bumper and door beam since 15 years in Japan. Recently, it has been tried to apply these steels to reinforcements such as B-pillars inner and so on. The application of these types of steel tends to spread. Their formability, weldability and fatigue properties are described. Formability of ultra-high strength steel is different from that of mild steel, and it is governed by local elongation or stretch flangeability that can be evaluated by bendability. Local elongation or stretch flangeability has a negative correlation with total elongation. When strength exceeds 1,000 MPa, delayed fracture tends to occur. However, when measures to avoid delayed fracture are taken, there are no application examples of ultra-high strength steel sheet with 1,500 MPa tensile strength restricted by the danger of delayed fracture.
