Abstract
The medium carbon (0.5 wt% C) steels containing various boron contents were studied to observe the distribution of boron using atom probe tomography and electron energy loss spectroscopy. APT revealed the segregation of boron atoms at retained austenite for 100 ppm boron added steels and the trapped carbon atoms at micro-twins for 50 ppm boron treated steels. Moreover, it was also found that boron was randomly distributed for 20 ppm boron added steels regardless of the interactions between carbon and boron.
