TRIP Effect in a Hot-Rolled Low-Carbon High Strength Complex Phase Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work, a study has been made of the hot-rolling process for a transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel Fe-0.12C-0.5Si-1.4Mn-0.5Cr (wt%). The volume fractions of retained austenite before and after a deformation were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure was characterized by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). A uniaxial tension text indicated that the steel possesses ultimate tensile strength of 748 MPa with yield ratio of 0.7 and elongation of 20%. The steel with the volume fraction of retained austenite of 12.5 % exhibits significant TRIP effect.
