Modelling of Phase Transformation in Hot Stamping of Boron Steel

I began studying for a PhD in 2006. The research project is cooperated with ArcelorMittal, France and aims to predict phase transformation, viscoplastic flow and failure of the material under hot stamping and cold quenching process. A set of unified viscoplastic phase transformation and damage constitutive equations will be developed and determined. Experimental validation will be carried out.
