The Project
Despite significant research on microstructure, strength, ductility and strain hardening of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) processed via Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) in the current literature, their application related performance has not yet been studied. The OptiQPAP project focuses on the intelligent microstructural design in the high strength Q&P steels for simultaneous improvement of various performance and mechanical properties, which are required for their commercialization. Special attention will be paid to fatigue and fracture behaviour, wear resistance, weldability, ductile-brittle transition temperature, high strain rate behavior and energy absorption, along with the formability and bendability of Q&P steels.
The OptiQPAP project will run from July 2016 to December 2019.
