Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Structure
DP 980 features a dual-phase microstructure consisting of approximately 70-80% ferrite matrix with 20-30% martensite islands. This unique microstructure is achieved through controlled thermomechanical processing and intercritical annealing, resulting in excellent strength-ductility balance.
Manufacturing Process
MetalZenith produces DP 980 through advanced hot rolling followed by controlled cooling and cold rolling processes. The steel undergoes continuous annealing at temperatures between 750-820°C in the intercritical region, followed by rapid cooling to achieve the desired dual-phase microstructure. Precise control of cooling rates and temperature profiles ensures consistent mechanical properties.
Heat Treatment
The intercritical annealing process involves heating to the two-phase (ferrite + austenite) region, allowing carbon partitioning into austenite, followed by controlled cooling to transform austenite to martensite. This process can be tailored to achieve specific strength levels and formability requirements.
Quality Standards
MetalZenith maintains strict quality control throughout production, including continuous monitoring of chemical composition, mechanical properties testing, microstructure analysis, and surface quality inspection. All products meet international automotive standards including ASTM A1011, EN 10338, and customer-specific requirements. Comprehensive test certificates are provided with each shipment, including tensile test results, chemical analysis, and dimensional verification.
