| Abstract Scope |
Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are in high demand in the automotive industry. New and improved steels are needed to increase the resistance and reduce the weight of vehicles. The replacement of traditional dual-phase (DP) by Complex-Phase (CP) steels, more resistant and less prone to void nucleation, is an interesting perspective; one way to improve their mechanical properties is to better control their microstructure. The microstructural characterization of CP steels is hard but has been consistently performed using Electron Backscattering Diffraction (EBSD). However, EBSD analysis takes time, can be costly and the sample preparation is usually a challenge. Recently, a newly produced complex-phase steel was characterized by EBSD and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The AFM characterization was much faster and cheaper, with a simpler sample preparation method. In this work, the comparison between the two characterization methods, their advantages, and challenges are reported. |
