induction heating to achieve an optimal combination of strength and ductility. The achieved
yield strength, tensile strength, and total elongation were 2103 MPa, 2301 MPa, and 8.26%,
respectively. Compared to conventional heating, fast induction heating results in finer
martensite blocks and a much higher density of dislocations. The contribution of dislocation
strengthening is found to be dominant, exceeding 1000 MPa, rather than boundary …
