The effect of martensite banding on the mechanical properties and formability of TRIP steels

چکیده مقاله

Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels possess high strength and great formability. In the current research work, the effect of banded martensite microstructure onto the mechanical properties and formability behaviour of low-alloyed TRIP steels was investigated. The results showed that the TRIP steel accumulated a larger strain prior to fracture when martensite appeared in form of bands.
