Study of a Novel Ultra-High Strength Steel with Adequate Ductility and Toughness by Quenching-Partitioning-Tempering Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the design principle of microstructures for high strength steel and a new quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) process recently proposed by Hsu, a microalloying Fe-Mn-Si base steel by the Q-P-T process has been designed. The results indicate that the Q-P-T steel exhibits ultra-high tensile strength combining with good ductility and toughness, and it is a new family of advanced high-strength steels. The microstructures of samples by different Q-P-T processes were characterized by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the relation between microstructures and mechanical properties was analyzed
