Development Of 780mpa Grade Gal Annealed Dual Phase Steel Sheets For Automobile

As the weight reduction of automotive body and crash safety become much more important factors, in an effort to satisfy these requirements, Shougang has developed 780MPa grade galvannealed dual phase steel sheet. Steel chemistry with low C and low Si was designed for good zinc wettability and spot weldability. And some of elements were added to improve the hole expansibility and work hardening capacity of steel as these effectively refine the microstructure and introduce retained austenite. Newly developed 780MPa grade galvannealed dual phase steels have a high yield strength and a good hole expansibility.
