In this paper, ultra-high strength dual phase steel was investigated. Thermomechanical processing was conducted by using a laboratory hot rolling mill. The results have shown that the main transformation products at three different kinds of thermomechanical processing were ferrite, bainite, and small amounts of martensite. Laminar cooling led to ferrite grain refinement. The mechanical properties of specimen 1 which was controlled cooling after a relative lower temperature rolling are much higher than that of specimen 2. The presence of martensite islands and precipitates contributed to the enhancement of strength of the present steel. And the presence of retained austenite resulted in higher toughness. As a result, these specimens exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties.

Tempering Treatment

Abstract The paper presents results of microstructure and mechanical properties of the dual phase (DP) steel plate with 12 mm thickness produced by intercritical annealing at a two-phase region of ferrite and austenite (α + γ) and direct quenching in water. In addition the tempering treatment at temperature of 650°C was applied to investigate effect of martensite softening on mechanical properties of the tested steel. The parameters of heat treatment were designed to achieve the high strength while retaining optimum impact strength of the DP steel.

Manganese Steels

As third generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS) managing both high strength and good ductility/formability, medium manganese steels containing 3-7 wt% Mn have attracted attentions recently. However, the fundamental microstructure evolution during thermomechanical processing and heat treatments in medium-Mn steels is still unclear. In the present study, changes in microstructure and mechanical properties during various heat treatments and thermomechanical processes of 4Mn-0.1%C steel were studied. It was clarified from dilatometric measurements that ferrite transformation in the 4Mn-0.1C steel was quite slow, so that fully martensitic structures were obtained in many cases after cooling from austenite. On the other hand, hot-deformation of austenite greatly accelerated ferrite transformation, and dual phase microstrcutures composed of ferrite and martensite could be obtained. The dual phase steel showed good combinations of high strength and adequate tensile ductility.

Low Temperature Rolling

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%).
