Advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) are regarded as the most promising materials for
vehicles in the 21st century. AHSSs are complex and sophisticated materials, with …

Over many decades, significant efforts have been made to improve the strength-elongation
product of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) by creating tailored multi-phase …

There is sufficient experimental evidence to propose that the formation kinetics of athermal
martensite directly depends on the austenite grain structure from which the martensite forms …

In Chap. 3, the relationships between microstructure and properties of dual-phase steels
were considered. These relationships serve as the foundation of “microstructure design” for …

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments are
employed to investigate the mechanical stability of retained austenite in a quenching and …

The major scientific and technological advances and breakthroughs of advanced high
strength steels (AHSS) were achieved due to the strong demands of automotive industry …

Three heat-treatment routes incorporating bainite formation, namely bainite-based
quenching plus tempering, bainite austempering and bainite-based quenching plus …

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

The martensitic advanced high-strength steels (MS-AHSS) are used to create fuel-efficient,
crashworthy cars. Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is an issue with high-strength steels; thus …

Abstract A Quenching-Austenite Reversion Treatment (Q-ART) is used to process an Fe-0.2
C-8Mn-2Al (all in wt.%) medium Mn steel to investigate the effect of pre-existed austenite on …
