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 production, reduce waste, and minimize costly recuts. Converting engineering data […]

WEBINAR Replay: Understanding Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) in Advanced High Strength Steel Components
Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) surface cracks may develop during resistance spot welding in advanced high-strength steels used in automotive bodies. While LME mechanisms are well-documented for academic, single-spot samples, there is limited data on production-scale components. In collaboration with LWF Paderborn and Fraunhofer IPK, WorldAutoSteel has expanded on previous LME studies to publish a Phase […]

The World Steel Association (worldsteel) has announced the winners for the 15th Steelie Awards. The Steelie Awards recognize worldsteel member companies for their contribution to the steel industry in a series of categories impacting the industry. This year’s winners—shown below—were announced in October. Special congratulations go to WorldAutoSteel member companies China Baowu Steel Group Corporation […]
Clean Sheet Approach to Steel E-Motive Autonomous Vehicle Enables Key Safety Innovations
Designing the Steel E-Motive autonomous vehicle concepts required our team of engineers to rethink everything from the ground up. We had a choice: modify a conventional vehicle or start with a clean sheet. We chose the latter, which led to several innovations, some of which could readily be applied to today’s vehicles. Why Clean […]
