In this study we explored mechanisms for improving the mechanical properties and retained-
austenite (RA) stability of a Q&P steel by adjusting the phase ratio. With increasing …

Understanding the deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) is critical for
interpreting the structure-property relationships that govern the performance of …

Due to their high strength, formability and affordable cost, quenched and partitioned (Q&P)
steels have shown the potential to reduce the mass of vehicles, thereby decreasing fuel …

We carried out a quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process to some samples of AISI 430
ferritic stainless steel and applied intercritical annealing treatment to others as a …

The individual effects of strain rate and temperature on the strain hardening rate of a
quenched and partitioned steel have been examined. During quasistatic tests, resistive …

Previous research has consistently found that introducing metastable retained austenite
(RA) as a second phase retards the failure of steel under fatigue. However, the reasons for …

The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process was applied to AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel
(FSS). As a comparison, the quenching and tempering (Q&T) process was also applied to …

The present study explores the application of single‐step quenching and partitioning (QP)
treatments to low‐silicon commercial AISI 4140 steel. Fractions between 4.6% and 7.8% of …

In this study, we investigate the microstructures and mechanical properties of quenching and
partitioning (Q&P) steels prepared with hot-rolled (HR) and cold-rolled (CR) sheets at …

The present work develops a new constitutive equation model for strain-hardening behavior
of metallic materials (named herein as the Gonoring model) based on the definition of the …
