Dual-phase (DP) steels consist of a ferritic matrix dispersed with some percentage of martensite, which gives the material a good combination of strength and ductility, along with the capacity to absorb energy and enhanced corrosion protection properties. The purpose of this work was to study the microstructural and corrosion behavior (mainly pitting and galvanic corrosion) of DP steel compared with that of conventional rebar. To obtain DP steel, low-carbon steels were heat-treated at 950 °C for 1 h and then intercritically annealed at 771 °C for 75 min, followed by quenching in ice-brine water. The corrosion rates of DP steel and standard rebar were then measured in different pore solutions. Macro- and microhardness tests were performed for both steels. It was found that DP steels exhibited a superior corrosion resistance and strength compared to standard rebar. The reported results show that DP steels are a good candidate for concrete reinforcement, especially in aggressive and corrosive environments.

Abstract MITTAL DI-FORM T700 and HF80Y100T are low-carbon steels with a manganese and silicon composition. Dual-phase (DP) steels are one of the important advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) products developed for the automotive industry. Their microstructure typically consists of a soft ferrite phase with dispersed islands of a hard martensite phase. The martensite phase is substantially stronger than the ferrite phase. The DI-FORM grades exhibit low yield-to-tensile strengths, and the numeric designation in the name corresponds to the tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on microstructure and tensile properties as well as deformation and fatigue. It also includes information on forming. Filing Code: SA-561.

The effect of heating path and heating rate on the microstructure and texture development in cold-rolled continuously annealed DP steel was studied by SEM and EBSD. A methodology to separate the individual phases present in mixed microstructures, and thus to enable quantification of the individual contributions to the bulk texture has been applied. It was observed that a higher heating rate may promote strengthening of {111} textures in DP steels as observed in low carbon grades.

Spheroidization annealing of low carbon steel and its effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of dual phase (DP) steel were studied. It was revealed that the reduction in strength and hardness of the quenched martensitic microstructure was much more pronounced compared to the fully annealed ferritic-pearlitic banded microstructure with spheroidizing time. This was related to the confinement of spheroidized carbide particles to distinct bands in the latter, and the uniform dispersion of carbides and high-temperature tempering of martensite in the former. During intercritical annealing of the spheroidized microstructures, the tendency to obtain martensite particles as discrete islands was observed. This, in turn, resulted in an inferior strength-ductility balance compared to the DP steel obtained from the intercritical annealing of martensite, which negated the usefulness of the spheroidized microstructures as the initial microstructures for the processing of DP steels.

Abstract MITTAL DI-FORM 140T and HB T965 are low carbon steels with dual phase manganese and silicon composition. Dual-phase (DP) steel microstructures typically consist of a soft ferrite phase with dispersed islands of a hard martensite phase. The martensite phase is substantially stronger than the ferrite phase. The dual-phase grades, including those with high tensile strengths of 965 MPa (140 ksi), that are designed for forming (DI-FORM), also have low yield-strength-to-tensile-strength ratios to improve formability. This datasheet provides information on microstructure and tensile properties as well as deformation and fatigue. It also includes information on forming and surface treatment. Filing Code: SA-566.

The effects of C-substitution for part of the N content, on the pitting corrosion resistance and repassivation tendencies of duplex stainless steels (DSSs) were investigated. For this investigation, normal UNS S32205 containing N only (DSS-N) and the C-substituted DSS (DSS-NC) were fabricated. Microstructural analyses confirmed that the two DSSs had dual-phase microstructures without precipitates, and they possessed similar initial microstructure, including their grain sizes and phase fractions. Polarization and immersion tests performed in concentrated chloride solutions revealed that the DSS-NC was more resistant against stable pitting corrosion and possessed a higher repassivation tendency than the DSS-N. Furthermore, the corrosion pits initiated and propagated to a less corrosion resistant α phase. Polarization tests and corrosion depth measurements conducted in an HCl solution indicated that the DSS-NC exhibited lower galvanic corrosion rate between the α and γ phases than the DSS-N. Therefore, the growth rate of pit embryo was lowered in the DSS-NC, which shifted the potentials for the stable pit initiation and the pit extinction to the higher values.

In the present investigation, some electrochemical properties of dual phase X70 steels with different martensite morphologies which have undergone boriding were studied. To obtain a variety of martensite morphologies, Direct Quenching (DQ), Intermediate Quenching (IQ) and Step Quenching (SQ) heat treatments were applied at an intercritical annealing temperature (IAT) of 760℃. The treatment (DQ) allowed the formation of fine martensite evenly distributed in the ferrite matrix. (IQ) treatment showed the formation of martensite along the ferrite / ferrite grain boundaries. In contrast, treatment (SQ) induced the formation of a banded morphology of martensite and ferrite. The realization of borides on X70 (DP) steel was carried out in a powder mixture containing 5% of B4C as source of boron, 5% of NaBF4 as activator and 90% of SiC as diluent at 950℃ for a period of time from 4 h. The corrosion behavior of X70 (DP) steel has been explored by the Tafel extrapolation method in a 5 wt. % H2SO4 solution. The corrosion resistance of steel which has undergone boriding (BDP) is higher than that of steel which has not undergone it (DP).

In this work, four low carbon steels with different contents of Mn and Ni were heat treated by quenching and partitioning (Q&P) cycles where high partitioning temperatures, in the range of 550 °C–650 °C, were applied. In order to elucidate the effect of applying these high partitioning temperatures with respect to more common Q&P cycles, the materials were also heat treated considering a partitioning temperature of 400 °C. The microstructure evolution during the Q&P cycles was studied by means of dilatometry tests. The microstructural characterization of the treated materials revealed that austenite retention strongly depended on the alloy content and partitioning conditions. It was shown that the occurrence of austenite reverse transformation (ART) in the partitioning stage in some of the alloys and conditions was a very effective mechanism to increase the austenite content in the final microstructure. However, the enhancement of tensile properties achieved by the application of high partitioning temperature cycles was not significant.
