The Impact

We examined the effects of tempering process and alloying elements on the microstucture, tensile properties, bendability and impact property of direct quenched (DQ), and re-austenitizing and quenched (RQ) low-carbon martensitic steels. For this purpose, four low carbon martensitic steels (Fe-0.07C-1.8Mn-Cr-Nb-Ti-B) were selected. We have investigated the effects of tempering temperature and alloying elements of chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb) on mechanical properties and microstructures. Mechanical properties and microstructures were analyzed as well using tensile test, V-bending test, charpy V-notched impact test and electron microscopy for DQ, DQ and tempered (DQ-T), RQ and RQ and tempered (RQ-T) low-carbon martensitic steels. It has been found that the as-quenched microstructures of the DQ and RQ specimens were fully martensitic structure. Prior austenite grain size and effective grain size after quenching were larger in the case of RQ steel. In both cases, tempering made the needle-shaped carbides. It is shown that the strength decreased when the tempering temperature increased. The strengths of the DQ and DQ-T steels were 30~50MPa higher than those of the RQ and RQ-T steels. Despite the higher strength of the DQ and DQ-T states, both had similar impact properties with the RQ and RQ-T states. However, the impact properties of the Nb added RQ and RQ-T steels with fine martensite morphology exhibited higher than those of DQ and DQ-T steels.

The paper presents results of metallographic investigations of spot welds made of high-strength steel HSLA340 and dual-phase DP600 steel. Low-carbon martensite microstructure was found in the weld nugget of HSLA steel. The DP600 steel shows martensite and bainite microstructure. For both steels, no carbides of microadditives were found because they dissolved in liquid nugget and could not precipitate again because of rapid heat abstraction. Moreover, no transcrystallisation was found in both steels, which proves good mixing of the materials within the weld.

Abstract MITTAL DI-FORM T700 and HF80Y100T are low-carbon steels with a manganese and silicon composition. Dual-phase (DP) steels are one of the important advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) products developed for the automotive industry. Their microstructure typically consists of a soft ferrite phase with dispersed islands of a hard martensite phase. The martensite phase is substantially stronger than the ferrite phase. The DI-FORM grades exhibit low yield-to-tensile strengths, and the numeric designation in the name corresponds to the tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on microstructure and tensile properties as well as deformation and fatigue. It also includes information on forming. Filing Code: SA-561.

Abstract MITTAL DI-FORM T590 and T600 are low-carbon dual-phase steels containing manganese and silicon. Dual-phase (DP) steels are important advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) products developed for the automotive industry. Their microstructure typically consists of a soft ferrite phase with dispersed islands of a hard martensite phase. The martensite phase is substantially stronger than the ferrite phase. The DI-FORM grades exhibit low yield-to-tensile strength ratios. The numeric designation in the grade name corresponds to the tensile strength in MPa. This datasheet provides information on microstructure, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on forming. Filing Code: SA-558.
