The Effect of Isothermal Hold Temperature on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of TRIP Steel

Abstract:

TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steels are low alloyed low carbon steels with complex microstructures consisting of ferrite, bainite and retained austenite. This complex microstructure provides them with excellent strength to ductility balance, making them a member of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) group. Suitable microstructure can be obtained by either heat or thermo-mechanical treatment. A hold in bainite transformation region is an integral part of any form of commercial TRIP steel processing route, as it enables formation of sufficient volume fraction of bainite and also stabilization of retained austenite in the final microstructure. Various bainitic hold temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 500 °C were tested within thermo-mechanical treatment of 0.2C-1.5Mn-0.6S-1.5Al steel and the final microstructures were evaluated with regard to the suitability to TRIP effect and achieved mechanical properties. The microstructures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and mechanical properties measured by tensile test.
