Mechanical Stability and Deformation-Induced Transformation of Retained Austenite in TRIP Steels at Low Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tensile properties and the stability of retained austenite in TRIP steels with different volume fraction of retained austenite have been studied at low temperature. The steels showed a good valance of strength and ductility at 193 K. Their work-hardening rates were decreased linearly and kept a high value in the high strain regime at 193 K. The retained austenite was mostly transformed into martensite less than 10% strain at 193 K.
