Microstructural control of the austenite stability in low-alloyed TRIP steels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have performed in-situ magnetization and high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements on two aluminum-based TRIP steels from room temperature down to 100 K in order to evaluate amount and stability of the retained austenite for different heat treatment conditions. We have found that the bainitic holding temperature affects the initial fraction of retained austenite at room temperature but does not to influence significantly the rate of transformation upon cooling.

THE EFFECT OF STRAINING BEFORE AND DURING AUSTENITE TO FERRITE TRANSFORMATION ON THE FINAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SI-MN TRIP STEELS
TRIP (TRansformation- lnduced- Plasticity) behavior is a powerful mechanism to improve mechanical properties. The basis of TRIP phenomena is the transformation of retained austenite with optimum characteristics (volume fraction, stability, size and morphology) to martensite during deformation at room temperature. Accordingly, the first requirement to obtain desired TRIP effects is to produce an...
متن کاملCharacterization of individual retained austenite grains and their stability in low-alloyed TRIP steels
In situ three-dimensional (3-D) X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed at a synchrotron source on low-alloyed multiphase TRIP steels containing 0.25 wt.% Si and 0.44 wt.% Al and produced with different bainitic holding times, in order to assess the influence of the bainitic transformation on the thermal stability of individual austenite grains with respect to their martensitic transf...
متن کاملHigh-energy X-ray diffraction study on the temperature-dependent mechanical stability of retained austenite in low-alloyed TRIP steels
The stability of the retained austenite has been studied in situ in low-alloyed transformation-induced-plasticity (TRIP) steels using high-energy X-ray diffraction during tensile tests at variable temperatures down to 153 K. A detailed powder diffraction analysis has been performed to probe the austenite-to-martensite transformation by characterizing the evolution of the phase fraction, load pa...

In this paper, a 0.2 C–1.6 Mn–1.5 Si wt. % TRIP-aided cold-rolled steel sheet was fabricated and the optimal heat treatment conditions (Intercritical Annealing “IA” and Bainitic Isothermal Transformation “BIT”) were investigated to maximize the volume fraction and stability of the retained austenite. The effects of temperature on IA (770, 790 and 810 ºC) and BIT (330, 350 and 370 <su...

Microstructural evolutions during annealing of cold rolled AISI 304L and AISI 316L stainless steels were studied. Cold rolled AISI 304L alloy was fully martensitic but cold rolled AISI 316L alloy was partially martensitic due to the higher stability of the austenite phase in the latter. During continuous heating to elevated temperatures, the complete reversion of strain-induced martensite at 75...
