In this Paper an original 800MPa cold rolled dual phase steel with low carbon and high silicon as well as some amount of Mn had been investigated in lab. The study shows that the microstructures of the steel mainly consist of ferrite, along with martensite with the content of 20%~25% which distributes homogenously on the ferrite grain boundary. The grain size of the ferrite is homogenous and with the grade of 13-14. The characteristics of the microstructure results in the excellent mechanical properties of the steel with Rp0.2=485~515MPa,tensile strength Rm=795~805MPa,total elongation A80mm=18%~19.5%,and n=0.135-0.145.

The difference in microstructures and properties of 600MPa cold rolled dual phase steel with the different composition had been studied in this paper. It can be noticed that the Si-Mn-Cr steel have finer ferrite and more martensite whose content is about 25%; the Mn-Cr-Mo steel have coarser ferrite and some coarse pearlite as well as little martensite; the microstructures of the Mn-Al-Mo steel are consist of mainly ferrite which have even grain size and 16% martensite which distributed homogenously along the ferrite grain boundaries. The difference in microstructure makes the steel own the different properties. The Si-Mn-Cr steel has the highest tensile strength and yield strength but the worst elongation, the Mn-Cr-Mo steel has the lowest tensile strength, the Mn-Al-Mo steel has the an excellent mechanical properties with low yield strength and high tensile strength as well as higher elongation.

A Nb alloyed low carbon steel was processed by hot equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) and following transformation. The workpieces were heated up to the 960°C in the furnace for 10 min within the container block. Before extrusion, the die was preheated to 400oC. The workpiece was cooled in the die after ECAE process. 1 pass and 2 pass via route C were conducted at a speed of 32mm/s, the inter-pass time is about 2 sec. The sample of average ferrite grain size of about 2μm, a tensile strength of 800MPa, a total elongation about 20% is produced after 2 pass ECAE processed and subsequent cooling.

In this article, the authors have analysed the influence of quenching temperature (TQ) on the mechanical properties of a dual-phase steel with 0.094 % C and 0.53% Mn. In order to obtain a ferrite-martensite structure, specimens of this material have been the subjected to intercritical quenching that consisted of heating at 750, 770, 790, 810 and 830 °C, maintaining for 30 minutes and cooling in water. These specimens have then been subjected to metallographic analysis and tensile test in order to determine the volume fraction of martensite (VM) in the structure, ultimate tensile strength (Rm), the 0.2% offset yield strength (Rp0.2), the total elongation (A5) and the Rp0.2/Rm ratio.

Two types of DP steels which contain high carbon and high silicon respectively were produced on industrial production line. The microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. Based on the thermodynamics and kinetic analyses, the intercritical austenization was researched. The results show that the high silicon and low carbon composition used to DP steel can avoid martensite band structure and decrease the martensite fraction, which will improve the elongation and work hardening ability. Phase transformation kinetic analysis indicates that high silicon content can make manganese enrich in austenite and stabilize austenite in intercritical region. Assisted by the strengthening role of silicon in austenite, the mechanical properties of high silicon and low carbon DP can fully meet the standard.

To provide insight into the mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of bulk nanograined (NG) Ni-based alloys during annealing, the Ni-based alloy sheets with grain size about 50 nm was produced through severe cold-rolling at room temperature, and then the cold rolled (CRed) Ni-based alloys were annealed at different states. The evolution of the nanostructure of the CRed Ni-based alloy during annealing and corresponding change in mechanical properties was investigated. The results showed that the CRed Ni-based alloy exhibited prominent enhancement in the yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), which increased respectively from 253 MPa to 1455 MPa, 684 MPa to 1557 MPa. Further increase of the YS and UTS were obtained in the annealed-CRed Ni-based alloy with dual-phase. The YS and UTS of the NG dual-phase Ni-based alloy was respectively 2013 MPa and 2061MPa, which was annealed at 700 °C for 1h. In terms of the microstructural evolution, lower density of defects on the grain boundary were observed and the nanograins can be maintained about 100 nm even when annealed for 30 h at 700 °C, which suggests high thermal stability at this temperature. Both the high thermal stability and strength are due to the formation of the γ′ precipitates and slight grain growth of the NG matrix.

A low alloy steel containing 0.2%C was heat treated with three cycles of heat treatments with the aim to acquire different morphologies of martensite in dual phase microstructure. Microscopic examination revealed that the morphologies consisting of grain boundary growth, scattered laths and bulk form of martensite were obtained. These morphologies have their distinct patterns of distribution in the matrix (ferrite). In tensile properties observations the dual phase steel with bulk morphology of martensite showed minimum of ductility but high tensile strength as compared to other two morphologies. This may be due to poor alignments of bulk martensite particles along tensile axes during deformation. Tempering was employed with various holding times at 550°C to induce ductility in the heat treated material. The tempering progressively increased the ductility by increasing holding time. However, tempering response to strengths and ductilities was different to all three morphologies of martensite.
