It is well-known that issues always occur for local non-hardenability of 1.5 GPa ultra-high strength steel plates during conventional hot forming processes, once the thickness of the plates is more than 2.5 mm. To resolve the issues, our recent research suggests that adding cerium during metallurgical processes is a p…
