Mechanical Properties and Retained Austenite in Intercritically Heat-Treated Bainite-Transformed Steel and Their Variation with Si and Mn Additions
TL;DR: In this paper, process peculiarities and functions of alloying elements, such as Si and Mn, were studied for improving formability of steel sheets with mixed microstructures, and the holding time in the bainite transformation range varies with temperature, depending on the activation energy of C diffusion in austenite, and shifts to longer times with an increase of Si or Mn additions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercritically annealed and isothermally transformed 0.15 Pct C steels containing 1.2 Pct Si-1.5 Pct Mn and 4 Pct Ni: Part I. transformation, microstructure, and room-temperature mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructures consist of dispersed regions of bainite, martensite, and austenite in a matrix of ferrite, and a maximum of 11.6 pct austenites is retained after isothermal holding at 450 °C in the Si-Mn steel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intercritically annealed and isothermally transformed 0.15 Pct C steels containing 1.2 Pct Si-1.5 Pct Mn and 4 Pct Ni: Part II. effect of testing temperature on stress-strain behavior and deformation-induced austenite transformation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the deformation-induced deformation behavior and retained austenite transformation of Si-Mn and Ni steels as a function of testing temperature between −80 °C and 120 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Behavior of an Intercritically Annealed and Isothermally Transformed Low C Alloy Steel with Ferrite-Bainite- Austenite Microstructures
TL;DR: In this article, a low C steel containing 1.5% Mn, 1.2% Si, and 0.1% Mo was inter-critically annealed at 760 and 820° C, and either quenched in oil to room temperature, or isothermally held at 400° C and then oil quench in room temperature.
