Abstract

Carbide free bainitic microstructures of steels in hot rolled condition have high potential for automotive and structural applications, where both high elongation and toughness at a high strength level are needed. However, achieving a combination of these properties remains a challenge due to difficulties in ensuring a high stability of retained austenite while maintaining industrial processability. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this work to achieve combined high toughness and high elongation in hot rolled carbide free bainitic steels.
