Tests at the ESRF aim to improve advanced high-strength steels

10-08-2012

One of the main solutions to producing lighter cars lies in the selection of improved structural materials, such as advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). ArcelorMittal, a manufacturer of AHSS, in collaboration with the laboratory MATEIS (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées – INSA Lyon, France), carries out mechanical tests of this material at the ESRF to improve it.
