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.

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.

Advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), are commonly used in the manufacture of car bodies, as well as in front and rear rails, and safety posts. These components can be exposed to corrosive environments for instance, in countries where de-icing salts are used. In this work, the corrosion behavior of four AHSS steels with dual-phase [ferrite-martensite (DP) and ferrite-bainite (FB)] steels were studied by means of electrochemical noise (EN) measurements according to the ASTM G199-09 standard in NaCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2 aqueous solutions at room temperature. The direct current (DC) trend data from EN were removed by a polynomial method of statistical and spectral analysis. According to the noise resistance (Rn) values obtained for the DP and FB dual-phase steels, both the martensite/bainite content and morphology of the phase constituents have an important effect on the corrosion behavior of these steels. The L.I. (localization index) (0.00054 to 0.15431), skewness (−6.18 to 7.35) and kurtosis (high values 37.15, 74.84 and 106.52) were calculated. In general, the results indicated that the main corrosion process is related to uniform corrosion. Corrosion behavior of AHSS steels exposed in NaCl solution could be related to the morphology of the phase constituents exposed in NaCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2 solutions.

Four continuous annealing cycles were adopted to get four kinds of multi-phase steels using 0.2C-1.5Si-1.8Mn [wt%] alloyed raw steel and the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that traditional ferrite-martensite dual phase steel has a tensile strength of more than 1000MPa, but has the lowest strength-plastic product of only 18GPa%. The traditional ferrite, bainite and residual austenite TRIP steel has the highest elongation of 31% and hardening exponent of 0.24, but its tensile strength is just over 800MPa. Introducing hard matrix such as acicular bainitc ferrite or martensite to replace the polygonal ferrite matrix, meanwhile introducing metastable austenite, is conducive to obtain high strength and good ductility. Those kinds of modified TRIP steel with hard matrix can reach above 20GPa% of the strength-plastic product on the 1000MPa grade.

The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the properties, structure and crystallization process of the amorphous Fe-based ribbon with the following chemical compositions: Fe80SixB20-x (x=5,6,8) and Fe75Si15B10. Thermal analysis, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Magnetic-Thermogravimetric Analysis, were used to shed light in the thermal stability and structural changes taking place during the transformation from the amorphous state to the crystalline state. The arising microstructure was observed via X-ray diffraction. Finally, Magnetic Barkhausen Noise measurements took place so as conclusions to be derived relevant to the dependence between the parameters of the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise and the chemical composition of the amorphous ribbons.

In the automotive industry considerable attention is paid to innovations oriented especially to meeting safety and environmental requirements. Concepts of vehicle safety focus on resistance of deformation zone components to impact and resistance to intrusion of undesirable fragments into the passengers´ space. In terms of these aspects the samples of the base materials from micro-alloyed steels HSLA - H220PD, DP 600 and TRIP - RAK 40/70 and also welded by solid-state fibre laser YLS-5000 were analysed. Multi-phase structure materials TRIP - RAK 40/70 and DP 600 showed considerably higher values of absorption capacity, strength, and stiffness than in case of single-phase structure material HSLA - H220PD. The greatest values of absorption capacity, strength, and stiffness were recorded in material TRIP - RAK 40/70 with ferritic matrix and a certain fraction of residual austenite, bainite, and martensite. Absorption capacity, strength, and stiffness have strong correlation with material constant K and strain hardening exponent.
