Criterion for microcrack resistance of multi-phase steels based on property gradient maps

2021 
Abstract A novel criterion for microcrack resistance of multi-phase steels based on property gradient maps is proposed. Two industrial sheets of steel were processed to obtain dual-phase and complex-phase microstructures with exactly the same chemical composition. Experimental investigations showed characteristic differences for the tensile tests, hole expansion and the local plastic behavior during deformation. An innovative full-field modeling approach that explicitly predicts mechanical property gradients as a function of microstructural gradients during forming was developed and validated. This allowed to form a new criterion for evaluation of structure–property relationship in nano-structured multi-phase steels and can reveal the formability limitations.
