RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Michel, Jan A1 Bursak, Marian T1 Influence of the Strain Rate on the Notch Toughness of Cold-Forming Steels JF Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina YR 2004 VO 6 IS 2 SP 34 OP 36 DO 10.26552/com.C.2004.2.34-36 UL https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-200402-0007.php AB The paper analyses the influence of the strain rate with loading rates of 1.7.105 4.8 m.s1 on the notch toughness of hot-rolled microalloyed steels S 315 MC and S 460 MC and cold-rolled deep-drawing steels DC 06, H 220 B and H 220 P. It discusses a possibility of utilising a modified notched-bar impact test to predict the formability of these steels at high strain rates of thin steel sheets.
