Summary of the lecture
The application of high strength steel to automobile parts is expanding to improve collision safety and fuel efficiency by reducing the weight of the automobile body.
To develop high strength steels, it could be very important to understand how to make steels strengthened and how to press high strength steels into automobile parts.
In this talk, the strengthening mechanism of high-strength steels for automobiles and press-forming technology will be presented, and then application of high tensile steels to automobile parts will be introduced.
