Abstract

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) of steels is a processing strategy that can be used to create microstructures containing retained austenite and martensite, which may provide strength and ductility combinations of interest for 3rd generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS). The aim of Q&P is to stabilize the austenite by increasing its carbon content via partitioning from martensite. Thus, understanding the kinetics of transition carbide formation is important for the development of Q&P steels, since the formation of transition carbides may consume carbon that could otherwise be used to stabilize austenite. Advanced electron microscopy techniques were used to characterize Q&P microstructures and to determine the presence of transition carbides. Tensile properties were also determined, and dilatometry was used in some instances to perform Q&P heat treatments and determine relevant phase transformation temperatures.
