RT Conference Proceedings T1 New Multiphase CP and DP 1000 MPa strength level grades for improved performance after hot forming A1 Lahaije, C T W A1 Rana, R A1 Sunderkoetter, C A1 Pérez, Iñaki A1 Arribas, Maribel A1 Aranguren, Iñigo A1 Caro, Daniele De A1 Pérez, Iaki A1 Aranguren, Iigo AB Pure martensitic steels have after hot forming limited performance in terms of rest ductility which limits the application in crash relevant parts. New steel grades were designed in the EU project HOTFORM including the corresponding process routes. These steel grades have ferritic-martensitic dual phase (DP) and martensitic-bainitic complex phase (CP) microstructures after hot forming process. The laboratory tests show an improved formability after hot forming. The basic concepts of the new alloys are explained. Furthermore, for validation of upscaling purposes a semi-industrial test is carried out and the results are discussed. The main application is for vehicle safety. This is evaluated by comparing the crash performance of these hot formed grades with cold rolled DP1000 and CP1000 for crash cans in a drop tower test.
