Steels with medium manganese (Mn) content (3∼ 12 wt-%) have emerged as a new alloy
class and received considerable attention during the last decade. The microstructure and …

The increasing demand for high-performance steel alloys has led to development of
transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) alloys over …

The mechanical and thermal stability of austenite in multiphase advanced high strength
steels are influenced by the surrounding microstructure. The mechanisms underlying and …

The addition of Si to steels is a well stablished method to delay cementite precipitation,
allowing for carbon partitioning from martensite to retained austenite during tempering. It has …

A low-carbon low-alloy steel was subjected to two-step quenching and partitioning (Q&P)
treatments which resulted in multiphase microstructures comprising varying amounts of …

We applied a hot rolling direct quenching and partitioning (HDQ&P) process to a low-C low-
Si Al-added steel and obtained a Q&P steel containing 40 vol% of ferrite. Microstructure …

The influence of Cr and Ni additions and quench and partition (Q&P) processing parameters
on the microstructural development, including carbide formation and austenite retention …

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment has been proven effective in manufacturing
advanced high strength steels with high content of retained austenite, showing the improved …

We performed ultra-fast heating (150° C/s) quenching and partitioning (Q&P) processes to a
cold-rolled low-carbon low-alloy steel. Adjusting the annealing temperature, we obtained …

We applied two types of hot-rolling direct quenching and partitioning (HDQ&P) schemes to a
low-C low-Si Al-added steel and obtained two ferrite-containing TRIP-assisted steels with …
