In the present study, the effect of cold-rolling for the amount of reduction in thickness ranging from 25% to 75% on microstructure and mechanical properties of plain low carbon steel processed from dual-phase ferrite-martensite starting microstructure was studied. As the cold-rolling, the microstructure elongated to rolling direction and more compressed with increasing the rolling reduction and strength also increased. After annealing at warm temperature 500°C, the ultrafine grained was obtained in the 75% rolling reduction. Moreover, it was exhibited excellent strength of 82% and hardness of 66.1% higher than as-received condition with adequate uniform elongation 9.6%.

A low carbon steel was treated by quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process, and a detailed characterization of the microstructural evolution and testing of mechanical properties were carried out. The resulted mechanical properties indicate that with the partitioning time increasing, the tensile strength decreases rapidly first and then remains stable, and the total elongation increases first then decreases. The investigated steel subjected to Q&P process exhibits excellent products of strength and elongation (17.8-20.6 GPa•%). The microstructural evolution of martensite matrix during the partitioning step was observed, and the morphology and content of retained austenite were characterized. The working hardening behavior of the samples was analyzed, and the retained austenite with higher carbon content contributes to the uniform elongation more effectively.
