The reference with characteristic values ​​and raw data

In several joint projects of the steel and automotive industry regarding “Development of material- and processing-compatible characteristic values ​​for thin sheet of normal and high-strength steels and stainless steels”, design-relevant parameters were determined under the direction of the Steel Institute VDEh on relevant body steels.

Materials

The database contains the main sheet steel materials for vehicle construction, which are linked to the corresponding tests:

• LC steels, IF steels
• deep drawing steels
• Bake-Hardening steels
• Micro-alloyed steels
• High strength steels
• DP steels
• TRIP steels
• Austenitic steels
  
  The steels were investigated both in the initial state and in defined pre-deformation and heat-treatment conditions.

Experimental data provided by manufactures and institutions

Contains thousands of data curves for several test types:

• Elastic and plastic tests
• Cyclic tests
• Dynamic tests
• Chemical analysis
• Roughness measurement
• Limit form tests

Provides mechanical and processing information on 45 grades of sheet steel like:

• Composition & supplier
• Thickness, texture & roughness
• Elongation at maximum force (at 23°C, -40°C and 100°C)
• Elongation at fracture (at 23°C, -40°C and 100°C)
• Proof strength (at 23°C, -40°C and 100°C)
• Tensile strength (at 23°C, -40°C and 100°C)
