The production of ultra-high strength automotive components requires a multi-directional
approach. Hot stam** combines both forming and heat treatment processes to obtain a …

This study highlights the strengthening mechanisms observed during the metal joining of
high-strength grade steels (Al-TRIP and Si-TRIP) by providing a concise investigation of …

The microstructural and mechanical effects of various single-step (SS) and double-step (DS)
quench and partition (Q&P) heat treatments applied to an AISI 420A low carbon martensitic …

The present work aimed at studying the effect of the two-step “Quenching-and-
Partitioning”(QP) processing with a prolonged partitioning stage on the mechanical …

Quench and partition steels find wide use in the automotive industry because of their high
capability of energy absorption. Industrial demands have prompted the expansion of this …

Advanced high‐strength steels (AHSS) have been extensively studied to develop its third
generation from relatively low‐cost alloys, but seeking optimized mechanical properties. In …

In this study, both experiments and finite-element analysis are performed to elucidate the
effect of weld-line position on the springback behavior of advanced high-strength steel tailor …

In this paper, the mechanical behavior of a bainite-based quenching-partitioning (BQ&P)
steel under high strain rates in a range of 2200–3600/s was studied using Split Hopkinson …

Based on the indirect hot-stam** test system, the effect of pre-forming on the
microstructure evolution (grain size, dislocation density, martensite phase transformation) …

Three different compositions of C–Mn–Si–Al type Q&P steels, A, B and C, were subjected to
thermo-mechanically controlled processing (TMCP) at two different rolling temperatures viz …
