The Steel4Fatigue<\/strong> project investigates fatigue-optimised solutions for dynamic components in the automotive industry<\/strong> by introducing new materials and technologies to reduce the weight of trucks and cars by 10%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These solutions will be based on specially developed materials with high fatigue performance (AHSS and spring steels)<\/strong>, advanced computer modelling<\/strong> for accurate fatigue prediction, and innovative experimental methodologies<\/strong> to reduce testing time.<\/p>\n

Steel4Fatigue enhances the understanding of the relationship between microstructure and mechanical performance in AHSS and spring steels<\/strong>, seeking to demonstrate the potential of these steels in the production of lightweight automotive parts, to achieve a remarkable 20% reduction in weight compared to current steel solutions<\/strong>, all while maintaining affordability.<\/p>\n

The project includes the development of time- and cost-efficient characterisation methodologies and predictive microstructural models. These tools will contribute to accelerating the design and optimisation of new high-strength steels and steelmaking processes, ultimately reducing time-to-market for high-performance steel products.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
