Complex Phase steels

Description

The Complex Phase family of steels supplements ArcelorMittal's AHSS (Advanced High Strength steel) product range. These steels are cold formed to make lightweight structural elements. A number of automotive parts, such as sills and door reinforcements, have simple shapes and the steel is therefore only slightly deformed. For this reason, ArcelorMittal has added the Complex Phase family of steels to its range. These steels offer high as-delivered yield strength and good bendability and stretch flangeability.

Applications

Given their high energy absorption capacity and fatigue strength, these grades are particularly well suited for automotive safety components requiring good impact strength and for suspension system components.

Forming

Although their ultimate elongation is lower than that of DP and TRIP steels, Complex Phase steels have good formability for their high strength level.

Forming limit curves can be used to define maximum strains without necking for different deformation paths.

Forming limit curves for Complex Phase steels:

Cold rolled in 1mm thickness (ArcelorMittal model for Europe)

Cold rolled in 1mm thickness (Keeler model for North America)

Hot rolled in 2,5 mm thickness (ArcelorMittal model for Europe)

Hot rolled in 2,5 mm thickness (Keeler model for North America)

In addition, Complex Phase steels exhibit good roll-forming, bending and hole expansion behavior.

Welding

Resistance spot welding

The Complex Phase range of steels boasts very good resistance spot weldability. The welding range, determined in accordance with the ISO 18278-2 standard, is extensive. The table below shows examples (for information only) of spot welding specifications for Complex Phase matching joints, determined in accordance with the ISO 18278-2 standards.

Laser welding

Laser welding tests have revealed no particular difficulties.

ArcelorMittal can provide technical assistance in adjusting the welding parameters for all steels in the Complex Phase range.

Fatigue strength

Complex Phase steels exhibit good fatigue properties and can be used in suspension system parts such as suspension arms. The table below gives examples of Wöhler curves for a variety of Complex Phase steels. They are expressed as stress amplitude versus cycles to failure and are obtained with a stress ratio of R = 0.1 and repeated tensile loading.

The graph below shows the low cycle or EN curves for the same steels. These are expressed as strain amplitude versus number of reversals (one cycle equals two reversals). Other high and low cycle fatigue data are available upon request.

ArcelorMittal can provide a full database on the fatigue performance of Complex Phase steels.

Impact strength

As a result of their very high YS and UTS values, Complex Phase steels are particularly well suited for anti-intrusion parts.

Complex Phase steels have been characterized in the 3-point bending flex test using top hat cross-section specimens impacted at 30 kph. The tests showed very good behavior of these steels.
