Abstract:The present work is aimed at a process to obtain a hot‐galvanized quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steel with excellent yield–ductility synergy by prior treatment. For this purpose, the cold‐rolled sheets with ferrite–pearlite structure are applied to “quenching (Q),” “quenching and tempering (Q&T),” “quenching and austempering (QAT),” and “quenching and austempering followed by tempering (QAT&T)” before the continuous galvanizing line (CGL)‐compatible Q&P treatment. Compared with Q&P sampl… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
