Influence of annealing process on microstructure and mechanical properties of C-Mn dual phase steel

Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of annealing parameters on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of a dual phase steel. Simulation of annealing regimes by thermo-mechanical simulator Gleeble was conducted. The dual phase steel was annealed in laboratory conditions in accordance with three specified annealing cycles: into intercritical region (780
