Abstract

This paper discusses practical EBSD strategies for identification and partitioning of phase constituents in DP and TRIP microstructures including martensite, retained-austenite, bainite, intercritical and epitaxial ferrite. EBSD data is complemented with nano-indentation analysis, providing evidence of indentation-induced phase transformation of retained-austenite in TRIP steel and micro-crack initiation at the interface between ferrite and mechanically transformed martensite.
