In this review, we separate the different governing factors on austenite stability into intrinsic
and extrinsic factors, depending on the domain defined by austenite grain boundaries. The …

A heterostructured medium Mn steel with duplex phases (ferrite and austenite) and multiple
morphologies (lath-typed and granular) is fabricated by a novel two-stage warm rolling …

Understanding the micromechanical consequences of transformation-induced plasticity
(TRIP)-assisted steels is challenging, due to the presence of multiple phase constituents and …

Increasing quenching temperature in conventional quenching and partitioning (Q&P)
process usually increases the fraction of retained austenite (RA) being dominant by blocky …

The stability of retained austenite refers to its resistance to transform into martensite. While
most models describe the thermal and mechanical influence on retained austenite stability …

Manipulating chemical heterogeneity, which could substantially alter austenite
decomposition behavior upon cooling, has recently proven to be very effective in tailoring …

We applied a hot rolling direct quenching and partitioning (HDQ&P) process to a low-C low-
Si Al-added steel and obtained a Q&P steel containing 40 vol% of ferrite. Microstructure …

The microstructural evolution and hardening mechanism caused by carburizing heat
treatment must be determined to improve the in-service functional performance of …

Controlling the amount of reverted austenite at room temperature allows for tailoring of
mechanical properties in supermartensitic stainless steels. The austenite reversion and …

The effect of austenite stability and martensite transformation (MT) mechanism on the tensile
and impact properties has been investigated for Fe-0.3 C-2.7 Mn-1.7 Si (wt.%) quenched …
