Duplex Steels

Magnetic Barkhausen noise measurements have been carried out to characterize ferritemartensite duplex microstructures and industrial Dual-Phase steels. We have first studied ferritemartensite duplex steels, for which the volume fraction and the carbon content of martensite were higher than for industrial Dual-Phase steels. We found linear evolutions between ferrite peak parameters and its proportion. We applied these results to industrial Dual-Phase steels and show that Barkhausen noise measurement can be successfully used for Dual-Phase steels characterization, and in particular for assessment of ferrite proportion.

The potentialities of using the magnetic Barkhausen noise measurement in characterization of metallurgical transformations have been highlighted in multi-phase High Strength (HS) steels. This kind of steels are composed of different metallurgical constituents, such as ferrite, bainite, martensite or residual austenite. Recently, we found that it was possible to assess the proportion of phases in ferrite-martensite steels and in industrial Dual-Phase steels too. In this work, we show that the Barkhausen noise measurements can be also suitable to follow bainitic transformation in a TRIP steel.

Quenching Temperature

In this article, the authors have analysed the influence of quenching temperature (TQ) on the microstructure of a dual-phase steel with a low carbon and manganese content (0,094 % C and 0,53 % Mn). The ferrite-martensite structures, typical of the dual-phase steels, has been obtained by intercritical quenching that consisted of heating at temperatures (TQ) ranging between 750 °C and 830 °C, maintaining for 30 minutes and cooling in water. After carrying out intercritical heat treatments, samples have been subjected to metallographic analysis through which the volume fraction of martensite (VM), the volume fraction of ferrite (VF), the carbon content of the martensite (CM), the morphology and distribution of these phases have been determined, and then, the influence of quenching temperature (TQ) has been established.

Unified equations for the relationships among dislocation density, carbon content and grain size in ferritic, martensitic and dual-phase steels are presented. Advanced high-strength steels have been developed to meet targets of improved strength and formability in the automotive industry, where combined properties are achieved by tailoring complex microstructures. Specifically, in dual-phase (DP) steels, martensite with high strength and poor ductility reinforces steel, whereas ferrite with high ductility and low strength maintains steel’s formability. To further optimise DP steel’s performance, detailed understanding is required of how carbon content and initial microstructure affect deformation and damage in multi-phase alloys. Therefore, we derive modified versions of the Kocks–Mecking model describing the evolution of the dislocation density. The coefficient controlling dislocation generation is obtained by estimating the strain increments produced by dislocations pinning at other dislocations, solute atoms and grain boundaries; such increments are obtained by comparing the energy required to form dislocation dipoles, Cottrell atmospheres and pile-ups at grain boundaries, respectively, against the energy required for a dislocation to form and glide. Further analysis is made on how thermal activation affects the efficiency of different obstacles to pin dislocations to obtain the dislocation recovery rate. The results are validated against ferritic, martensitic and dual-phase steels showing good accuracy. The outputs are then employed to suggest optimal carbon and grain size combinations in ferrite and martensite to achieve highest uniform elongation in single- and dual-phase steels. The models are also combined with finite-element simulations to understand the effect of microstructure and composition on plastic localisation at the ferrite/martensite interface to design microstructures in dual-phase steels for improved ductility.
