Materials design for new cold formable steels — •Wolfgang Bleck — Department of Ferrous Metallurgy, RWTH Aachen University, Intzestr. 1, 52072 Aachen

Optimising the balance of strength and formability is one of the major topics in current sheet steel development. In addition to the empirical approaches new design methods based on computational engineering have been developed and are currently being applied. Different modelling options are being discussed with respect to their prediction capability, their quantitative accuracy and their limitations. Examples are provided focusing on the recent development of car body steels.
