This document discusses various types of ferrous metals and alloys used in manufacturing, including different categories of advanced high-strength steels and their properties. It describes dual-phase steels that have a microstructure of ferrite and martensite, providing improved forming ability. Transformation-induced plasticity steels have a microstructure of ferrite, martensite and retained austenite, enabling high strength. The document also covers free-machining steels, precoated steel sheets, electrical steels, maraging steels used for high strength applications, and steels for high temperature service.
