Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) developments have largely focused on automotive applications using metallurgical approaches to develop retained austenite-containing microstructures in a variety of new steels, using the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect to achieve better combinations of strength and ductility. These efforts have been extended in recent studies to explore the potential to improve wear resistance, using metastable retained austenite to enhance wear resistance for earth-moving and other applications. This paper provides selected highlights of the authors’ efforts to develop wear resistant steels using AHSS processing approaches. Some attractive product/process development opportunities are identified, and it appears that martensite-austenite microstructures produced using “quenching and partitioning” exhibit increased wear resistance.
