Phase Transformations in Steels during Quenching and Partitioning Heat Treatment

Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) processed steel is a promising candidate for the third-generation advanced high strengths steel(AHSS), where considerable amount of carbon-enriched austenite can be obtained in the steel microstructure. The Q&P process starts with full or partial austenisation of the steel, followed by a quench to form a desired...
