The effect of reduction on the microstructure refinement and mechanical properties of the as-hot rolled dual-phase Nb-bearing steel were studied at laboratory. It is found that the dual-phase steel displays clearly classic dual phase morphology which is ferrite and martensite or bainsite, and the fine island or lath martinsite is dispersed on the matrix of ferrite by the observation of microstructure. The grain can be refined, and the increased precipitated second particles are fined and dispersed with the increasing of reduction. The mechanical properties determination result shows that the mechanical properties have greatly improved by large reduction. The tensile strength obtained in the laboratory is up to 680MPa, the ratio of yield strength and tensile strength is low, and the elongation is better.

The ingots were rolled by 550 mills in laboratory to obtain dual-phase steels. The influence of the morphology and distribution of ferrite and martensite on mechanical properties of dual-phase steel was investigated. The results indicated that some amount of acicular ferrite transformed in DP steel is available for decreasing the size and homogenizing the distribution of martensite in ferrite base. Meanwhile, the values of yield strength, tensile strength and impact toughness increases apparently, the value of elongation decreases to 22.5% .

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.

Effects of thermo-mechanical control processing (TMCP) on microstructure and mechanical properties of hot-rolled ultra-high strength ferrite-bainite dual phase steel were investigated on a laboratory hot rolling mill. The results have shown that the microstructure containing ferrite and bainite can be obtained by TMCP. Ultimate tensile strength of all the specimens exceeded 1000MPa. Finish rolling temperatures affect the mechanical properties of ultra-high strength ferrite-bainite dual phase steel. Ultimate tensile strength reached 1078MPa at relatively low finish rolling temperature because of the ferrite grains refined. Fast cooling after low temperature rolling results in the ferrite grains refined and the formation of martensite islands. As a result, the product of ultimate tensile strength and total elongation (Rm×A50) of specimen 4 with fast cooling after low temperature rolling reaches the maximum value (18096MPa%).

The pipeline steel with excellent deformability with ferrite and bainite dual-phase microstructure are obtained by inter-critically accelerating cooling method, aiming to get good deformation capability of avoiding failure from the geological disasters such as landslides and earthquake. The influence of volume fraction of bainite on the mechanical properties of dual-phase pipeline steels was investigated by means of microscopic analysis method and mechanical properties testing. The results indicated that both yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the steels increase almost linearly with the increasing volume fraction of bainite, while ductility, work hardening exponent and impact absorption energy decrease. When the volume fraction of bainite is about 50%, the yield strength, the yield strength/tensile strength ratio (Y/T), work hardening exponent, uniform elongation and impact absorption energy of X80 pipeline steels with excellent deformability is 665MPa, 0.8, 0.12, 8% and 245J respectively.

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.

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.

The effects of the microstructure properties on the mechanical properties of C-Si-Mn hot rolled dual phase steel are reported. It was observed that both the amounts of the martensite and the particle size of the ferrite significantly influence the mechanical properties of hot rolled dual phase steel. The aim of our works is to develop a modeling method for controlling the microstructure properties of C-Si-Mn hot rolled dual phase steel through the experimental trend comparison of the aforementioned two factors on their mechanical properties.
