Abstract: We performed a direct quenching and dynamical partitioning (Q-DP) process, following intercritical annealing, to a low-carbon low-alloy steel. Performing an additional tempering treatment on the Q-DP steel, we investigated the carbon partitioning behavior upon tempering. W ...
Abstract: We performed ultra-fast heating (150 °C/s) quenching and partitioning (QP) processes to a cold-rolled low-carbon low-alloy steel. Adjusting the annealing temperature, we obtained two types of ferrite-containing QP steels with different matrix structure, i.e., marte ...
