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 …

In-situ SEM can intuitively observe the changes in microstructure and microcrack initiation
during the deformation process of the specimen. In this paper, the microstructural evolution …

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels possess high strength and good ductility because
of the transformation of metastable austenite to martensite, which is referred to …

This paper studied the plastic deformation behaviour of DP600 steel subjected to uniaxial
tension, by means of in-situ EBSD technique. It provides experimental evidences and …

Martensitic transformation significantly increases the strength of low-carbon steels, while it is
usually at expense of the formability and ductility. In order to further improve the mechanical …

This study aims to establish a strategy for bridging the microstructure and mechanical
properties of fine-grain-structured dual-phase steel. A complete workflow is built up …

In this review, effects of initial microstructure before intercritical annealing and processing
routes of dual phase (DP) high strength steels are discussed. Prior-applied deformation …

A novel austenite-martensite dual-phase steel with a ductility of~ 30% and tensile strength
over 1.4 GPa was developed. The hard martensite in the dual phase steel was strengthened …

Numerous high-performance steels with various compositions and mechanical properties
were developed to enable a safe and light-weight automotive body-in-white (BIW). However …

The establishment of composition-microstructure-property relationship is a long-standing
topic in materials science, yet neither continuum mechanics approaches nor machine …
