Assessment of Heat-Affected Zone Softening of Hot-Press-Formed Steel over 2.0 GPa Tensile Strength with Bead-On-Plate Laser Welding
High-strength hot-press-formed (HPF) steels with a fully martensitic microstructure are being widely used in the fabrication of automotive body structure, and 2.0 GPa-strength HPF steel has recently been commercially launched. However, heat-affected zone (HAZ) softening is unavoidable in welding mar...
