The Hot Ductility of TWIP and TRIP Steels—An Alternative Interpretation

There is significant evidence from light metals that turbulence in casting leads to bifilm defects; enfolded, doubled-over oxide films which act like cracks the liquid, and are inherited as by solid. This population of introduced now known significantly influence tensile failure behaviour alloys. analogous defects exist steels. paper examines possibility bifilms may control hot ductility TWIP TRIP steels, therefore problems straightening during continuous casting. Techniques for overcoming these indicated.
