Numerous studies have demonstrated the viability of lightweight Fe-Mn-Al-C steels for exhibiting an improved balance of high strength and high ductility in automotive applications. However, their high-cycle fatigue behaviour has been scarcely studied. This work examines the ef ...

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 this benefit are not understood. Accordingly, the properties of RA most advantageous to resist fa ...

Recent studies have demonstrated the viability of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment for processing martensitic stainless steels showing an improved balance of high strength and sufficient ductility. However, to date, the fatigue behaviour of these materials has no ...

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 balance of high strength and sufficient ductility. This method has been very well elaborated fo ...

The article focuses on the effect of alloying and microstructure on formability of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) processed via quenching and partitioning (Q&P). Three different Q&P steels with different combination of alloying elements and volume fraction of re ...

In this work, we investigate the sensitivity of the microstructure and mechanical properties of an ultrafast heat treated low carbon-steel to the peak temperature. In all studied cases, the steel was heated within the intercritical temperature range (i.e. between the AC1 and AC3 ...
The main objective of this study is to understand the effect of the soaking time during the ultrafast heat treatment of a low carbon steel on its complex multi-phase microstructure, tensile mechanical behavior and properties of individual microconstituents. Tensile tests were per ...

In this work, a Fe-0.25C-3.0Mn-1.5Si-0.023Al-0.015Cr (wt%) steel was subjected to the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment, and its mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution during drop weight impact testing and quasi-static punch testing were thoroughly analy ...

The effect of ultrafast heating on the microstructure and properties of a low-carbon steel is studied at the microscale. Ultrafast heating results in the formation of a complex multiphase microstructure containing mainly martensite and retained austenite grains embedded into a ...

Steel with a nominal composition of 0.25C-1.5Si-3Mn-0.023Al (mass %) was subjected to Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) with varying parameters (quenching temperature, partitioning temperature and partitioning time) resulting in formation of multi-phase microstructure, whic ...
