Overview of Total Materia database 12th January 2022
Total Materia har ved at give os en bestemt metode tilladt os at løse alle problemerne vi havde med søgning af alternative materialer i udlandet. Takket være Total Materia har vi udstedt virkelige "internationale" specifikationer for køb af stål i fremmede lande.
Total Materia er fortsat det eneste værktøj, der vil blive brugt til dette formål.

Application of Microalloyed HSLA Steel: Part Two
For many steel grades microalloying with niobium is te key to achieve their characteristic property profile.
Microalloyed HSLA steels were among te first high strength steel grades used in vehicle construction. In some recent passenger cars they account for up to 40% of te body mass.
Modern vehicle bodies make intensive use of high strength steel grades to meet te contradicting demand of lighter weight and simultaneously better mechanical performance.
For many steel grades microalloying with niobium is te key to achieve their characteristic property profile. In HSLA steels, niobium enhances te strength primarily by grain refinement. In interstitial free high strength steels niobium serves as a stabilizing element. Some modern multiphase steels rely on niobium to achieve additional strength via grain refinement and precipitation hardening.
Microstructural control constitutes a powerful means to further optimize properties relevant to automotive processing such as cutting and forming. Te microalloying characteristics of niobium will now be further considered.
Microalloyed HSLA steels were among te first high strength steel grades used in vehicle construction. In some recent passenger cars they account for up to 40% of te body mass. A high yield ratio and thus a low work hardening potential is characteristic of these steel grades.
This can be advantageous in achieving te specified minimum yield strength in te component, as te local yield strength is rather insensitive to te level of deformation induced during forming. Other characteristics of HSLA steel are te quasi-isotropy (Ar-value ~ 0) and a good fatigue resistance.
HSLA steel is typically used for te manufacturing of parts with low and medium geometric complexity such as members, reinforcement structures and chassis components. Te low alloying content and te limited carbon content in particular reduces te hardness in te heat affected zone after welding processes with a fast cooling speed.
HSLA steel is available as hot-rolled and cold rolled material. Cold rolled sheet can be produced by batch and continuous annealing in most of te existing cold rolling mills. As a result, there is a broad availability of this material including a wide range of dimensions and surface treatments.
Te production of HSLA steel relies on niobium microalloying in combination with thermomechanical rolling in te hot rolling mill. This treatment provides grain refinement and a homogenous microstructure. Particularly te refinement of cementite particles is beneficial to improve te forming behavior. Te desired strength level is adjusted by te Nb content (0.02-0.05%)
Additionally, te content of solid solution strengtheners like Mn and Si, Niobium is by far te most effective element for increasing te recrystallization stop temperature. A typical finishing temperature is about 875°C and te coiling temperature is around 600°C for all Nb-alloyed grades in order to optimize precipitation hardening.
Te microalloying of cold-rolled grades utilize maximum precipitation hardening in te hot-rolling mill. To achieve a yield stress of more than 400 MPa, additional microalloying of Ti is usually applied (Figure 5). Te target for te heat treatment is to recrystallize te brittle cold-rolled microstructure without enlarging te precipitations. For a given chemical composition, hot-rolled material always has a higher strength value when compared to cold-rolled material (Figure 5).

A recent approach to produce microalloyed hot rolled strip of 500 MPa minimum yield strength was successfully put into practice by reducing te carbon content (0.0459 and increasing niobium content (0.09%). Besides an extremely fine grained ferritic-bainitic microstructure, very low scattering in te mechanical properties within te coil and across batches was obtained (Figure 4). Particularly te narrow scattering of te yield strength is helpful to avoid spring back.
Te sheet edges are particularly smooth after mechanical cutting operations due to te ferritic-bainitic structure. Furthermore, te rather low carbon content also results in a reduced edge hardening when laser cutting is employed. Accordingly, this steel is well suited for forming methods where high peripheral stress is induced to sheet edge.

Finding structural steel materials in te Total Materia database
Te Total Materia database contains many thousands of structural steel materials across a large range of countries and standards.
Where available, full property information can be viewed for materials including chemical composition, mechanical properties, physical properties, advanced property data and much more.
Using te Advanced Search page, it is possible to search for materials by general application by using te Full Text Search function of Advanced Search.
It maybe that you need to further narrow te search criteria by using te other fields in te Advanced Search page e.g. Country/Standard.
Total Materia A list of materials will then be generated for you to choose from.
After clicking a material from te resulting list, a list of subgroups derived from standard specifications appears.
From here it is possible to view specific property data for te selected material and also to view similar and equivalent materials in our powerful cross reference tables.
For example, by clicking on te chemical composition link on te subgroup page it is possible to view chemical composition data for te material.
Other critical property data for structural steels can also be viewed including mechanical property data covering yield stress, tensile stress, elongation and impact data.
For you’re a chance to take a test drive of te Total Materia database, we invite you to join a community of over 150,000 registered users through te Total Materia Free Demo.
