Nickel is an important and widely used alloying element in carbon steels. Some of its
prominent metallurgical effects in these steels are moderate solid solution strengthening …

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) has become an important issue in ultra-strong automotive
steel applications. The addition of Mo to commercial 32MnB5 hot-stam** steel is preferred …

Abstract Hot-press-forming (HPF) steels have attracted great attention as automotive
reinforcement parts, but are exposed to the potential risk of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) …

Abstract Ultra-high-strength (over 1.8 GPa) of hot-stam** steels can be achieved by
increasing C content of conventional hot stam** steel (1.5 GPa) or controlling precipitation …

Abstract A boron-containing 1.8–2.0-GPa-grade hot-stam** steel, which has been
attracting great attentions as reinforcing automotive parts, often leads to the deteriorated …

This study investigates the hot deformation behavior, microstructural evolution, and
processing map of a high-carbon high-strength low alloy steel subjected to hot compression …

Microalloying elements such as Nb and Ti are essential to increase the strength of
quenched and tempered high-strength low alloy (HSLA) structural steels with nominal yield …

Press hardening steel (PHS) is widely applied in current automotive body design. The trend
of using PHS grades with strengths above 1500 MPa raises concerns about sensitivity to …

In this study, effects of Nb or (Nb+ Mo) alloying into a 1.9-GPa-grade 32MnB5 press
hardening steel on Charpy impact, bending, and delayed fracture properties were …
