Development of a new generation of quench and partitioning steels: Influence of processing parameters on texture, nanoindentation, and mechanical properties

A novel quenching and partitioning process (Q&P) including the hot stamping (HS) process was studied, using two stamping temperatures (750 °C and 800 °C) and two quenching temperatures (318 °C and 328 °C). This combination is here called Hot Stamping and Quenching and Partitioning process (HSQ&P). The partitioning step was performed...
