Plain carbon steels, consisting of about four-fifths of the total tonnage of steel production, are economical compared to alloy steels. These are widely used as structural components in various engineering applications. In recent years, the search and application of new advanced materials have been much in demand by the automotive industry. Approximately 85% of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) should be used for different construction parts of a vehicle, which could lead to a weight reduction of up to 25% compared with a common model. The distinctly attractive feature of the Advanced High...
