Enhancing strength-ductility combination in a novel Cu–Ni bearing Q&P steel by tailoring the characteristics of fresh martensite
2023, Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyBatch annealing enhances the yield strength of a high quenching temperature Q&P steel through accelerated bainitic transformation
2022, Materials Science and Engineering: ACitation Excerpt :As promising candidates for third generation AHSS, quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels witnessed great progress in the first two decades of the 21st century [8–11]. In a typical two-step Q&P process, after partial/full austenitization of the steel plates, the steel is first quenched to quenching tempering (QT) below the martensite start temperature (MS) and then raised to the partitioning temperature (PT) for carbon partitioning before the final quenching to room temperature [8,9,12]. Carbon enrichment stabilizes retained austenite to room temperature, providing sustained strain hardening through the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect during straining [13,14].

The C partitioning, widely considered as a process consistent with the ‘constrained C equilibrium’ model [29–31], is controlled by the slower C diffusion in austenite [32]. Indeed, the diffusion coefficients of C in austenite (4.78 × 10−16 m2s−1) at 350 °C is three orders less than the value (1.81 × 10−13 m2s−1) in martensite [9,33].
