The effect of ultra-fast heating on the microstructure, grain size and texture evolution of a commercial low-C, medium-Mn DP steel

The effect of ultra-fast heating on the microstructures of steel has been thoroughly studied over the last year as it imposes a suitable alternative for the production of ultra high strength steel grades. Rapid reheating followed by quenching leads to fine-grained mixed microstructures. This way the desirable strength/ductility ratio can be...
