Readership
This book is aimed at engineers, working in the field of the application and development of High-Performance Steel (HPS).

Content
SED 8 provides an overview of the development and application of High-Performance Steel (HPS) on an international level. New steel production processes now allow steels to be produced according to the desired mechanical and chemical properties. This new generation of steels offer higher performance not only in terms of strength but also toughness, weldability, cold formability and corrosion resistance, compared to the traditionally used mild steel grades.

Information is given on the production process, the chemical and mechanical properties, the relevant design and fabrication standards and on recent research results. The document is an assembly of contributions from different countries, providing a state-of-the-art report on HPS.
