  1. Advanced High Strength Steels: an economical solution for Automotive Lightweight Structures

  2. Advanced High Strength Steels: inside an extended steel grade offer for Automotive

  3. Automotive Steel Families

  4. Advanced High Strength Steels: Massive and Growing use in the Automotive Industry

  5. Advanced High Strength SteelsEstimated Market needs • AHSS usage will grow • from 7% in 2006 to 11% in 2010, mainly at HSS expenses • A long term potential of • 35% of AHSS in a BIW • has been estimated through a model study > 1 Mt in Europe > 3 Mt in Europe

  6. Car Example 32% AHSS 46% AHSS Eu 4x4 – new model Eu 4x4 – previous model Source: Eurocarbody Source EuroCarBody 2007

  7. Advanced High Strength Steels WHY?

  8. AHSS are dedicated to Structural parts A-frame reinf. Bumper Beam Roof bow B-pillar reinforcement Front side members Floor side reinf. - sill inner Rear side member WHY DOES THE NEED OF AHSS INCREASE ? • Reduce CO2 emissions • Reduce fuel consumption • Safety requirements • Equipment & Comfort • Downgauging • compensate by higher crash performances of steel • Cost effective Car structure mass reduction AHSS

  9. Example in Brazil Euroncap test as illustration FRONTAL Crash regulation in 2010 => would increase need of AHSS

  10. Car crash situations Situation where need is to control absorbed energy Situation where need is to control intrusion (displacement)

  11. AM test for:Energy absorption under compressive load Closed-Top-Hat test conditions Sample Final specimen observation Records

  12. Energy Absorption Average crushing force for 1.5mm thickness H260 DP980LCE DP450 DP500 DP600 DP780 MP800 MS1200 TRIP980 MP1000 TRIP590 TRIP690 TRIP780 HSLA500 DP1180HY ArcelorMittal 04 • Increased energy absorption with higher UTS • Ranking made at iso-part geometry

  13. AM test for:Maximal Load under 3P bending. Sample test conditions: 3 point bending records 45 Impactor f 50 Maximum force (ulitmate failure stress) Yield force f 200 Force (kN) 50 Support 700 Displacement (mm) 100 75 300 480 30 140 Impact speed: 8 m/s Kinetic energy : 10 kJ Final specimen observation

  15. Strategic Interest in Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) for Automotive business is no more a question • Because it is the most economically efficient solution to reach: • Lightweighting goals in structural areas of the car • Safety goals in the safety-critical parts • Reduce complexity of stamped parts

  16. Example of weight saving potential

  17. Example of Weight saving in Automotive parts: AM generic steel solution catalogue for Bodyside Reference : 5 doors European vehicle “Bodyside” Scope

In the “solutions” catalogue: 1 very efficient proposal for weight saving ROOF RAIL INNER : DP980HY 0.7mm A-PILLAR Upper INNER : Trip 780 1.25mm ROOF RAIL R/F DP780 0.6mm A-PILLAR Upper R/F : Usibor 0.9mm Reference A-PILLAR Lower INNER DP600 0.8mm B-PILLAR TWB INNER : DP980 HY 1.0 (up) ARC04 0.7 (low) B-PILLAR R/F TWB Usibor 2mm (up) Ductibor 1.6mm (low) This solution A-PILLAR R/F Usibor 0.9mm Cost : +10% Weight saving : -25% ROCKER INNER DP980HY 0.85mm ROCKER R/F RR + ROCKER R/F FR : DP980 HY 0.85mm

  19. What kind of steels are AHSS?

  20. AHSS = MULTIPHASE STEELS Strengthening by quenching generated hard phases: martensite, bainite, retained austenite Conventional = ferritic Martensitic DP TRIP 1000 : 1 Le Pera 20 µm MP or CP Ferrite Bainite

  21. AHSS = produced by conventional process Run out table Cooling and coiling Continous casting Slabs 25 t Steelmaking 230 t Hot Rolling mill Coils, 25t, length 1000 m Hot Dip Galvaninzing line Hot Dip galvaninzing product (coils, length 2000 m) Cold rolling mill

  22. Metallurgy of ArcelorMittalAHSS MULTIPHASE structure  Manage phase transformation Coupled key factors: PROCESS and CHEMICAL COMPOSITION PROCESS = control the structure at high temperature + the continuous cooling strip temperature « Conventional » steels TRIP steels CGL or CAL DP steels time (s) Area of ferrite formation during cooling Adjusted by chemical composition and processing Area of Bainite formation during cooling Area of Martensite formation during cooling
