Process-Properties Relationships for Hot Rolled Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS)

Developing new high performance steels for vehicle lightweighting applications is essential for reducing transport emissions and for maintaining Canada’s competitive manufacturing base. Stelco have been collaborating with McMaster University and with the CanmetMATERIALS (CMAT) laboratory to design advanced hot rolled alloys for this purpose. Promising results from pilot scale trials at CMAT have now been duplicated in full scale industrial trials. However, more work is required to better understand and optimise some of the processing parameters. The scientific aim of this project is to identify the critical process-properties relationships for these new steels, and hence to support Stelco’s development program.
