The OptiQPAP consortium members are organizing a Symposium ‘Third Generation Advanced High Strength Steels by Quenching and Partitioning’ in frame of the MSE 2016 Congress which will be held on September 27-29, 2016 in Darmstadt, Germany. This Symposium aims to disseminate the recent developments in the application and modelling of quenching and partitioning heat treatment to production of third generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS). Following topics will be considered and discussed at the Symposium:
1. Production of quenched and partitioned steels. Alloying strategy, hot rolling, cold rolling, industrial implementation of quenching and partitioning process;
2. Microstructure and texture characterization;
3. Mechanical properties, formability and energy absorption, processing – microstructure – properties relationship;
4. Fatigue and fracture of Q&P steels.
The symposium is oriented to researchers from universities and industrial research centers and to steel producers directly involved in the production and product development. The lectures will be given by researchers from the large steel manufacturing companies, such as Tata Steel, Arcelor Mittal, ThyssenKrupp, POSCO, and researchers from leading universities, such as the Colorado School of Mines, TU Delft, University of Gent, Schanghai Jiao Tong University, etc.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Darmstadt !
