Initiation of hydrogen induced cracks at secondary phase particles

Aurélie Laureys, Margot Pinson, Lisa Claeys, Tim Deseranno, Tom Depover, Kim Verbeken

The goal of this work is to propose a general mechanism for hydrogen induced crack initiation in steels based on a microstructural study of multiple steel grades. Four types of steels with strongly varying microstructures are studied for…

Optimization of austenitic and ferritic steels for deep drawing. Part 1: metallurgical and mechanical analyses.

Andrea Casaroli, Edoardo Scabini, Marco Virginio Boniardi, Riccardo Gerosa, Barbara Rivolta

Deep drawing of stainless steels thin sheets is a cold forming process used to produce components with complex geometries at limited costs. Although it seems a simple shaping technique, this technology requires a high level of know-how…
