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.

The relationships between flow stress curve and microstructure evolution in strain induced dynamic phase transformation (SIDT) of low carbon steel (0.22wt.%) were quantitatively investigated. The deformation was carried out at just above Ar3 temperature (710°C) as a function of strain rate (0.01-5/sec). The softening process of SIDT was well agreed with calculated result derived from Avrami’s and constitutive equation at higher strain rate than 0.5/sec. However, the calculated results differed from the experimental curve at strain rate of less than 0.2/sec. This is due to fact that the dynamic transformation from austenite to ferrite can not be completed owing to less stored energy during hot deformation.
