WorldAutoSteel March 2025 Update
Understanding Tensile Testing for Better Metal Forming Simulations Tensile testing provides essential data for metal forming simulations, but using the wrong stress-strain model can lead to inaccurate results. Engineering stress-strain curves, based on initial measurements, don’t account for how a material changes during deformation. For advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), precise simulations help optimize […]
