Materials Committee within the Steel Institute VDEh, Düsseldorf, Germany

Technical-scientific collaborative work on steel development, characterization and test-ing, steel data, steel manufacturing and us-age, collaborative research, standardizing, education and conferences

In the Materials Committee of the Steel Institute VDEh, all activities are geared towards working on researching the material of steel and identify-ing its properties, along with collectively repre-senting the material-technical interests of steel companies to external parties, so that a strength-ened and reliable application of the material steel takes place. To this end, close connections to processing and finishing industries are main-tained. Because of the wide-ranging applications, there are specific technical committees.

Due to the diversity of the material steel, it has been necessary to establish Technical Commit-tees (TC) specific for steel groups, in which the property profiles for the treated steels can be spe-cifically identified and developed further. At the same time, their possibilities for application are expanded. In this way a systematic material-tech-nical discussion between steel processors and users is guaranteed as well. Various aspects within the individual TCs are also discussed and specific questions are promptly answered in tem-porary projects.

Participating in European and international stand-ardization in the steel sector is also very im-portant. Joint statements are prepared for current standardization projects and introduced into the negotiations via the national DIN mirror commit-tees.

The results of the collaboration lead to publica-tions in special TC reports, professional journals, and in contributions to national, European and in-ternational conferences. The results are also pre-sented in summarized form in training activities such as seminars or further education courses. This collaboration in the Materials Committee and its subdivisions thus provides an important contri-bution to the training of specialists in industry and science.

Technical Committees (TC) of Experts within the Materi-als Committee:

The Thin Sheet TC deals with is-sues relating to the development, optimization and application of hot and cold rolled, hot-dip refined, electrolytic re-

fined and organically coated sheet and strip as well as the related activities, frequently along with the respective steel users. A particularly important group of customers are the automobile manufacturers. The focus of the joint work is in terms of reducing fuel consumption and ex-haust emissions through lightweight construction. The development of new higher and high strength steel grades meets the demand for increased strength of body sheets with good cold formability. In addition, the pursuit for improved corrosion protection leads to more sophisti-cated surface treatment processes of the various types of steel and the development of coordinated laboratory corrosion tests for the development and evaluation of materials/coating treatment methods.

Under the management of the Steel Institute VDEh, the German group of the Interna-tional Deep Drawing Research Group (IDDRG) represents a group of German steel and aluminium produc-ers, processors and us-

ers of thin sheets as well as interested research institu-tions and equipment manufacturers who are actively en-gaged in sheet metal forming. It was established in order to obtain and bring together the German opinion on sci-entific evaluation of sheet metal forming (often standard-ization) and to represent it in Europe and worldwide. Since that time, the GDDRG has affiliated with Austrian and Swiss interested parties (material manufacturers / processors). Likewise, representatives of the long-stand-ing Benelux group (BDDRG) also participate in the meet-ings to some extent. The incorporation of the aluminium industry has taken place for the benefit of customers in order to avoid a variety of standards and to create fairer evaluation of materials. The group works in close collab-oration with the TC on thin sheet.

The Electrical Strip TC repre-sents a group of interested Euro-pean electric strip

manufacturers and represents the coordinated technical inter-ests of the elec-tric strip manu-

facturers with respect to legislative bodies. The technical and scientific exchange of ideas and the implementation of collective research for all materials related topics de-manded by the market is in the focus of the members. In addition, the recognition and discussion of future techno-logical trends (such as hybrid / electric drives) and the transfer of requirements into standardized grade struc-tures are among further important tasks. The discussion results are essential for the development of joint state-ments and suggestions for European and IEC standards and technical reports, as well as the preparation and re-vision of Stahl-Eisen-Blätter.

Applications generated from steel are of primary importance of the work of the Unalloyed Structural Steels TC. The steel grades dealt with accord-ing to DIN EN 10027-1 in-clude a variety of applica-tions (for example, in steel construction, pressure tank construction, pipeline construction, shipbuilding, vehicle manufacturing, mechanical engineering, as high-strength steels for hot-rolled flat products for cold forming, and for long products). The field of activity for this TC also includes higher-strength fine-grained structural steels with mini-mum values for yield strength of about 1000 MPa. They expand the range of applications for structural steels, e.g. for higher stresses and lower temperatures. With ref-erence to the diverse standardization activities in the field of safety-related structures, this TC is an important link between material standardization and product standard-ization for the steel industry.

Materials for long prod-ucts from Alloyed and special steels – steel bars, input material for forging and wire rods – are the focus of the work of this technical committee. Its key activ-ities cover a wide field – from improving material properties and their de-tection to the pro-cessing of long products and component properties. Ever rising demands by steel users on the quality and properties of long products require an intensive profes-sional exchange with steel users from different industrial fields (steel processors and end users from vehicle man-ufacturing, general engineering, power engineering, etc.). Questions from the practical experience are solved in application oriented research projects that are profes-sionally supported by members of this TC. The acquired knowledge is distributed in the form of technical reports and meetings. Their work influences steel and iron ma-terial data sheets and inspection sheets as well as the

relevant international standards, and therefore steel pro-ducers as well as steel users have a direct technical ben-efit. Overlapping tasks require close work with other ex-pert committees in the Stahl-Zentrum.

The joint com-mittee of open die forges and power plant con-struction compa-nies deals with material engi-neering and test engineering for heavy open die forgings. Due to

the particularly high demands on material properties and their testing, special steel and iron material data sheets and inspection sheets are created which go beyond the relevant standards. This technical committee brings to-gether insights from both the field of alloyed and special steels as well as creep resistant steels. The intensive ex-change with customers ensures the creation of policies approved by both sides.

The Stainless steel TC repre-sents a group of European pro-ducers, proces-sors and users of stainless steels, which discusses and works on topics with a

cross-competi-tive character. It deals with questions regarding the de-velopment, optimization and application of stainless, heat resistant and high-temperature steels, which find applications particularly in the chemical industry, plant engineering, mechanical engineering, motor production, the automotive industry as well as in the offshore sector, construction engineering (building construction, civil en-gineering and tunnel construction), power engineering, environmental technology and in the home appliance in-dustry.

The Tool Steel TC represents a group of inter-ested steel pro-ducers, steel pro-cessors, end customers and research institu-tions. It acts as an intermediary

between steel producers and customers for open ques-tions related to the properties, quality and typical appli-cations of tool steels. It represents the coordinated tech-nical interests of the tool steel manufacturers with re-spect to standardization bodies (ISO, EN, DIN, TÜV, GL, ...). The tool steel TC facilitates the technical and scien-tific exchange of ideas for all tool steel-related topics de-manded by the end users. It develops standards and

agreements of understanding and discusses, in consul-tation with other interested parties, the important tech-nical issues for the use of tool steels.

Materials testing takes on a crucial function in the com-petition among materials. Only those who can reliably determine the correct characteristic values are in a posi-tion to choose the most favourable material, process it properly and exploit it commercially. Testing technology is one of the key technologies in assessing the loadability of materials, structures and components. It provides pa-rameters that characterize the material and processing properties under mechanical, thermal or chemical stresses. The Testing Technology TC deals mainly with one of the two main groups of materials testing – destruc-tive testing. It defines itself as a parent committee that deals with all materials groups in terms of questions rel-evant to technical testing.

Non-destruc-tive testing (NDT) is one of the key technol-ogies in as-sessing material and component condition as well as in material characterization. Non-destructive tests are generally required for acceptance and approval testing for sheets, pipes and other finished and semi-fin-ished products. The TC assists to describe the appropri-ate techniques in standards and to adapt the state of the art. Non-contact and non-destructive measurement tech-niques are also increasingly used for online monitoring in production. By means of the applied measuring technol-ogy a variety of geometric dimensions (e.g. length, diam-eter, straightness, profile, wall thickness) and character-istic parameters, such as macro- and microscopic sur-face condition, microstructure parameters, internal de-fects and inherent stress conditions, can be determined. This TC is composed of experienced practitioners and experts in this subject area. New methods of non-de-structive testing are evaluated on their applicability in production. In lecture sessions, an intensive technical exchange of experiences takes place between steel manufacturers, the steel processing industry, research institutes, equipment manufacturers and likewise other associations active in the field of non-destructive testing.

The detection and documentation of surface defects in the production of steel strip is de-cisive to deliver a high product quality to the customer as well as essential for the direct optimization of the production processes through conclusion on the emergence of the defects. For this reason Surface Inspection Systems (SIS) have been used by all the leading steel producers

in various stages of their production. For some years SIS has been a permanently integrated tool for monitoring the quality of the steel surface and so they support the quality control. In the TC Automatic Surface Inspection the systems used are assessed according to defined criteria. The resulting technical requirements may be published when necessary, discussed in workshops with equipment manufacturers, and possibly dealt with partnerships as research projects.

The Metallography, Structure and Microanalysis TC provides a platform for steel manufacturers, customers, suppliers and universities & institutions to jointly deal with the key activities of microstructural analysis (structure) and material microanalysis (elements, compounds and

nano-hardness). For the development, optimization and quality assurance of steels and their coatings in all man-ufacturing and processing steps, the characterization of steels, (i.e. the definition and description of the micro-structure and degree of purity), is essential. This applies to both flat and long products. This includes, along with the qualitative description, the increasingly quantitative microstructure analysis, which was only made possible by the introduction of new devices and methods of anal-ysis. It is thus necessary to be familiar with the perfor-mance capabilities of the device, to attempt a compari-son of the different approaches in materials analysis by means of interlaboratory tests, and to confirm the repro-ducibility of measurement results through additional in-terlaboratory tests.

Cooperation with customers

At an early stage, the Materials Committee established close ties to the customers of the steel industry. Up to the present day, these relationships have been continu-ously expanded and intensified. It is important to know from the start, which questions the customers have for the use of steel, where members of the Materials Committee could give collective technical assis-tance. This often leads to joint research projects and in jointly organized conferences and meetings. The inten-sive dialogue between customers and steel producers, accompanied by the Material Committee is the guarantor for positioning steel as our most important industrial con-struction material.

Evolution instead of revolution - the leading knowledge base for steel offers even more in version 2017

The StahlDat SX portal which has been already avail-able since 2012 at http://www.stahldaten.de has been thoroughly revised and expanded in 2017.

At the steel industry's international annual meeting "STAHL 2016" on 10 November 2016 in Düsseldorf, the new version was presented with great success to the in-siders of the steel industry. Numerous users were enthu-siastic about the new user management, the revised in-ternational standards and specifications as well as the extended full-text contents.

The new version offers an extended and intuitively usa-ble system for companies in the steel industry, steel pro-ducers, steel traders as well as steel manufacturers and research institutions. Increasingly, the system will also be linked to the corporate intranet of the steel companies so that all employees have access to the hardly available information via a data flat rate. This means that all cur-rent steel grades, the current reports of the steel applica-tion research as well as the knowledge base of the "Stahl-Eisen-Blätter" can be used in full text version at every workplace.

One focus of the extensions in version 2017 is the in- creasingly demanded and significantly expanded inter-national content, e.g. the reference to current standards from the USA and the Asian region. For example, refer ences between European material numbers and Ameri-can AISI terms are now available. The content is always up-to-date with regard to European steel grades: the

StahlDat SX is the official compendium and the only authorised publication of the European Steel Registration Office and is kept continuously up to date. The Steel Institute VDEh is responsible for the actuality and reliability of the data. With the improved and significantly simplified user inter-face the users can quickly find all relevant information via keyword search and full-text search as well as create ref-erence tables of different materials.

At the same time it was announced that the development of the system has been transferred to the company Mat-plus GmbH which is specialised in software solutions for material innovations. Matplus also offers individual ex-tensions of the system for materials - right up to the im-plementation of specific, company-internal knowledge bases.

Stahl-Zentrum Düsseldorf The StahlDat SX is realised by the Stahlinstitut VDEh with the European Steel Registration Office which is re-sponsible for the contents and by the publishing house Verlag Stahleisen GmbH regarding the marketing. On

the one hand this ensures a high specific professional competence and on the other hand a long-term stability of the solution.

has taken over the existing activities of Metatech GmbH with regard to the further development and maintenance of the StahlDat SX.

Further Information: Marion Glesner

Stahl-Eisen-Prüfblätter (SEP), Werkstoffblätter (SEW) and Einsatzlisten (SEE)

SEP, SEW and SEE are technical guidelines, to pre-standardize the properties of steels prior to the actual standardization process. The guidelines are developed with the participation of experts and are published by the Steel Institute VDEh.

SEP provide information on the appropriate realization of test-ing procedures for the determination of specific material properties. The task of these guidelines is to standardize the testing conditions to enable the comparability of the test results prior to the actual standardization of a testing method. Our clients, preferably in the automotive indus-try, requires such characteristic values, primarily to carry out simulation calculations and for the validation during

the body development process (lightweight, resource conservation, occupant protection).

SEW describes the performance characteristics of steels prior to the actual standardization. It includes both knowledge and experience of the steel manufacturers as well as the needs and experiences regarding the use of steel. These descriptions are intended to enable a wider use of steels and to standardize the performance characteristics when manufacturing, delivering and application.

SEE are used in accordance with the appropriate selection of steels for tools for application in certain shaping pro-cesses based on current knowledge.

SCT International Conference on Steels in Cars and Trucks

The Beginning – Concept – Content – Development

In the year 2005 the first SCT took place in Wiesbaden, Ger-many. One choose as main mottos „Bringing the automo-tive, supplier und steel industries together“ and „Future trends in steel development, processing technologies and applications“. The conference was the first one, where dif-ferent steel grades and product forms (flat products, like thin sheets and electrical sheets, and long products, like bars and wires) were presented together.

The conference focused on reports, presented by experts from the industry. A small exhibition accompanied the first conference. Already to the next conference in the year 2008, again in Wiesbaden, the modules could be extended: more reports, larger Exhibition and of course the increase in the number of participants. It is remarkable, that the par-ticipants came from steel industry as well from supporter as from the end user industry in equal shares.

The steel industry answers the increasing requirements for materials in cars and trucks not only with many steel grades with excellent mechanical and processing properties, but also with such innovative concepts as lightweight construc-tion for reducing emissions in conventional vehicles and for electromobility. In collaborative work the automotive indus-try, the supplier industry and the steel industry now need to assure sustainable and efficient solutions for economic, safe and comfortable vehicles.

During SCT, experts both from industry and science will meet to present and discuss the most recent developments and experiences in the application of steels in cars and trucks.

The program structure of SCT is made up of the following main topics, which were always adapted to the state of the art:

Steel Components in Cars and Trucks: Body structure, forged and stamped parts, engine (conven-tional, electrical), transmission, axle, shafts, bearings, pre-cision pipes and gears, steering and chassis, wheels, breaks, accessories, engine management, injection, alter-native drives (e.g. fuel cell)

Manufacturing of Components: Intelligent forming processes, new developments in heat treatment techniques, hybrid manufacturing, multi-material design, efficient joining techniques, innovative and eco-nomic process chains, new surface techniques (corrosion and wear protection, paint adherence) for future applica-tions

New Steels: Modern steel design, improved proper-ties, new product forms e.g. sandwich sheets, new surface coatings, adjusted forming, light weight construction with forged components, recyclability, lifecycle assessment

Modelling, Simulation and Testing: Numerical simulation of steel properties, components, joints and processes, (rapid) simultaneous engineering, virtual engineering and related topics, innovative testing methods for steel components and vehicles, quality assessment and part integrity, new methods for characterization of material properties
