transformation induced plasticity (trip) steels have a vast application in automotive industry because of theirhigh strength, high ductility and hence excellent energy absorption capacity. these characteristics of tripsteels are due to the existence of retained austenite in their microstructures in the ambient temperature, whichtransforms to the martensite phase during deformation. the microstr...

Terms of service of the steels with retained austenite in the microstructure, is severely depended on the stability of austenite during the course of deformation. The present work aims to evaluate the mechanical stability of austenite in nanostructured, carbide free bainitic steels during tensile testing and cold rolling process. To achieve the microstructure with retained austenite, the steel ...

Cryogenic treatment can be used as a supplemental treatment that is performed on some tool steels between quenching and tempering as an effective method for decreasing retained austenite and increasing wear resistance. In this research, the effect of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on dimensional stability and mechanical properties of 80CrMo12 5 tool steel was investigated. The martensitic trans...

bainitic transformation at low transformation temperatures leads to a microstructure involving fine plates of bainitic ferrite and thin films of retained austenite. this microstructure has shown ultimate tensile strength of about 2.2 gpa, noticeable uniform elongation in the range of 5 to 30%, hardness values of about 600 to 670 hv and impact toughness in the range of 30 to 40 mpa m1/2. with ca...

Based on the results that the magnitude of the stabilization of retained austenite increases with increasing the amount of martensite transformed, it has been assumed that the martensitic transformation is accompanied with an increase in internal resisting stress which subsequently results in the stabilization of retained austenite. By simplifying this internal resisting stress to be a type of ...
