Summary of the lecture
Learn how atomic structure and phase transformations influence steel strength and ductility in this short microlearning module.
This course explains how steel properties are influenced by atomic structure and phase transformations. It introduces key phases such as ferrite, austenite, and martensite, and outlines how alloying and cooling processes impact strength and ductility. The module also presents the main types of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) used in automotive applications.
