About Course

Welding of Advanced High Strength Steels for Automotive Applications.

The use of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) is increasingly preferred in automotive applications due to improved crash energy management and enhanced strength-ductility combinations, resulting in greener and safer vehicles. The weldability of AHSS is generally poorer than conventional steels due to the high alloying contents required to obtain a multi-phase microstructure. This course is aimed to discuss the (i) role of alloying elements in stabilizing multi-phase microstructures of AHSS, (ii) the effect of weld thermal cycles on the evolution of microstructures, and (iii) weldability of AHSS.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Final year bachelor’s and master’s students in Metallurgy, Mechanical, Automobile, and Production Engineering. Industrial personnel working in automotive and steel-making industries.
