CEN Workshop on 'Fracture toughness evaluation methodologies applied to advanced high strength steel sheets' |
Scope
The CEN Workshop on "Fracture toughness evaluation methodologies applied to advanced high strength steel sheets" will develop two CWAs. The first planned CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) describes the existing methodologies for fracture toughness evaluation in metal sheets. It compiles relevant findings from research developed in previous and ongoing RFCS projects and academic research. It also provides recommendations to be applied during the planning, design, and operational phases of the manufacture of AHSS sheets and components, as well as successful industrial case studies. The second planned CEN Workshop Agreement describes a new testing procedure to estimate the crack propagation resistance of AHSS sheets using a Cracking Resistance Index (CRI) based on fracture mechanics. The procedure provides a fast and simple method that can be implemented as a routine procedure for in-plant quality control and material selection and/or acceptance.
