Abstract
A novel steel combining the “quenching and tempering (Q&T)” process was exploited that can achieve the enhancement of austenite by interface migration during tempering the martensitic matrix mixed with films of austenite. A high uniform elongation (12%) combined with high yield tensile strength (1500 MPa) was obtained, which showed distinct advantages over all the other advanced high strength steels under development for a lightweight car body. Furthermore, the effect of austenite on enhancement of ductility in “Q&T” steels with a martensite matrix was elucidated, which suggested that the ductility was promoted by enhancing boundary sliding and delaying work hardening of the martensitic matrix.
