Abstract

In recent years, the use of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in the automotive industry has increased due to their potential in reducing weight, leading to lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The AHSS structures would be the optimum choice for many applications; however, there are many defects to overcome in their stamping. In this present study, different types of defects and remedies of AHSS stampings are presented.
