Effect of Step Quenching Heat Treatments on the Kinetics of Ferrite Formation and Quenching & Partitioning Modeling for a Commercial C-Mn-Si Steel

Effect of Quenching Temperature on the Strengthening Mechanism of Low‐Carbon Microalloyed Quenching and Partitioning Steel

“…[5] The strain-induced M transformation increases both strength and ductility.AHSS researchers have worked on Q-P steel in a variety of ways, including developing a theoretical model and exploring RA stability, [5][6][7][8] as well as optimizing experimental processes like the annealing, quenching, and partitioning stages. [9][10][11][12][13] Previous studies have indicated that the partial austenitization Q-P process may provide superior overall mechanical properties for the experimental steel than the full austenitization Q-P process, and that the quenching temperature (QT) has a greater impact on the composition of the room temperature microstructure. [14] Microalloying elements can not only drag solute atoms, but also improve matrix and refine grain through precipitated carbides.…”
