DUAL-TEN® 780/800 DUAL PHASE STEEL

DUAL-TEN® 780/800 (dual phase) steel is recommended for high strength structural parts responsible for crash energy management when formability requirements are higher than offered by equivalent grade of conventional HSLA steel.

Typical Mechanical Properties for DUAL-TEN® (dual phase) steel:

Example of Stress–Strain Curve:

 

Note that DUAL-TEN® (dual phase) steel has no yield point elongation (YPE).
Typical Forming Limit Curve (FLC):

Above is an example of an experimental FLC for DUAL-TEN® 780 HDGA steel of 1.6mm thickness. The solid line shows boundary between safe and unsafe areas. The broken line denotes the ASM approximation.

Forming limit curve for DUAL-TEN® 780/800 dual phase steel can be approximated with conventional ASM FLCs calculated from n-value and sheet thickness.
