Wednesday 9th of June 2021 at 9.00-12.40 (Teams meeting)
This webinar is organized as part of the RFCS project INNOFAT, (Innovative approach to improve fatigue performance of automotive components aiming at CO2 emissions reduction).
The main objective of the project is to improve the performance of high-stressed components in order to allow their weight reduction. For this purpose, two different approaches are proposed: the optimization of the steel isotropy and the utilization of a recently developed high strength ferritic-pearlitic microalloyed steel.
The project consortium, which will explain the advances and conclusions obtained in the project, is formed by the following European institutions, being all of them references in the project research fields: steel, fatigue, machining, automotive industry:
Sidenor I+D (Spain)
Swerim (Sweden)
CRF-Stellantis (Italy)
University of Aachen – WZL (Germany)
IPM (Czech Republic)
By joining this webinar you will:
find out the advantages of using Bi steels with regard to other improved machinability steels
hear about a new high strength ferritic-pearlitic microalloyed steel.
learn more about how the steel isotropy affects the performance of components subjected to complex loadings
discover breakthrough methods to evaluate the inclusions properties and to estimate, through FE simulations, the stresses they introduce in the steel
Program (you can join the whole webinar or only the topics in which you are interested in)
