Abstract—In this work, the non-destructive and fracture test techniques were studied for micro-crack detection in the advanced high strength steel (AHSS) notched sheets. Crack initiation of JAC780Y during tensile loading was investigated by Direct Current Potential Drop (DCPD) and Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques. The results confirm for the first time that both techniques can be induced to indicate micro-crack from fracture behavior of AHSS sheet in forming and AE technique can detect the crack initiation faster and more effective than DCPD.
