3rd place.
The paper selected is “Medium Mn transformation-induced
plasticity steels: Recent progress and challenges”. Transformed organic plastic
steel is a kind of Giga steel for next-generation automobiles. It is a steel
sheet manufactured to exhibit excellent strength and formability at the same
time due to the phase transformation phenomenon occurring in the deformation
process. In this paper, the concept of alloy design for deriving the limiting
properties of meta-manganese-composed meta-manganese steels with higher
manganese content than the existing meta-organic steels and a method for
controlling microhistological properties were presented.
Prof. Dong-Woo Suh and Sung-Joon Kim presented the
concept of an alloy design capable of continuous annealing for commercial
production of meta-manganese metamorphic organic plastic steel for the first
time in 2010, and since then, they have been actively researching in the field
of developing gas steel for automobiles using metamorphic organic plasticity.
