Fracture Strain of Al–Si-Coated Press-Hardened Steels under Plane-Strain Bending

Press-hardened steel (PHS) is widely applied to fabricate vehicle body structures for attaining mass reduction and fuel economy without sacrificing occupant safety. The VDA bendability test is often used to characterize the fracture resistance of PHS under plane-strain bending conditions. As lightwe...
