Fracture Behavior and Mechanical Properties of a Thermomechanical TRIP Steel Under Simulated Heat Treatment Conditions

In this research, hypereutectoid Si–Mn TRIP steel was prepared via casting method followed by thermomechanical processing and different heat treatments. Subsequently, fracture behavior and mechanical properties of the prepared steel were investigated. The time–temperature–transformation curves of the specimens were predicted by a simulation software. Their mechanical properties were studied through tensile, hardness, and impact tests. The...
