Abstract Medium-manganese (Mn) steel (MMS) has remarkable characteristics of high
strength, strong work-hardening capacity, and wear resistance, being a promising third …

Advanced high-strength steels have been widely used to improve the crashworthiness and
lightweight of vehicles. Different from the popular cold stam**, hot forming of boron …

It has been the pursuit of materials science to enhance strength without sacrificing the
ductility of a material. By introducing the semi-metallic Si into the FeCrMnV high-entropy …

Obtaining a desired quantity of retained austenite (RA) in press-hardened steels (PHSs) with
a martensitic matrix is of great interest for the performance of safety critical components in …

Numerous high-performance steels with various compositions and mechanical properties
were developed to enable a safe and light-weight automotive body-in-white (BIW). However …

A novel Cr-alloyed medium-Mn steel was designed and manufactured for the hot forming
application in automobile. Compared to the typical press hardening steel (PHS) grade of …

In this work, the mechanical properties of hot-rolled 7Mn steel are significantly sensitive to
the short-time isothermal holding after ultrafast heating (UFH). These samples also exhibited …

A novel press-hardening steel (PHS) with an ultra-high tensile strength of 1680 MPa and an
excellent total elongation of 9.2% has been developed and produced at an industrial scale …

Microstructure heterogeneity has been regarded as being detrimental in obtaining reliable
mechanical performance of steels. However, in the present study, we demonstrated that a …

A novel Si-Al alloyed press hardening steel (PHS) with the ferrite (α)-austenite (γ)-martensite
(α′) triplex microstructure was developed to have marginal oxidization after the hot forming …
