Mechanical behaviour of tools for shearing Ultra High-Strength Steels: influence of the microstructure on fracture and fatigue micro-mechanisms of tool steels and evaluation of micro-mechanical damage in tools

On account of environmental and safety related requirements, the majority of the most popular automotive manufacturers convey to introduce Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS) and Press Hardened Steels (PHS) in the vehicle body-in-white. Nevertheless, the real success of UHSS and PHS parts implementati...
