Metallurgical Fundamentals of TMP

Oral Presentation

Advanced high-strength steels are widely used in the automotive industry because of their excellent mechanical properties, which arise from their multiphase microstructure and the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. Among advanced heat-treatment routes, quenching and partitioning (Q&P) has been extensively developed to produce retained austenite (RA)-containing microstructures...

Metallurgical Fundamentals of TMP

Oral Presentation

In this study, the experimental procedure involved hot rolling (1100°C–850°C) of six novel lightweight steels from different groups: ferritic, ferrite-based and austenite-based, followed by a heat treatment schedule to achieve the desired mechanical properties and compatibility for an industrial continuous annealing line. The heat treatment consisted of soaking at various temperatures between...
