Abstract

Abstract: The research progress of the lower bainite/martensite (B_L/M) and retained austenite/martensite (A_R/M) multiphase controlling methods to improve the properties of steels and the corresponding strengthening and toughening mechanisms were summarized in detail. The new heat treatment methods such as bainite isothermal quenching, quenching & partitioning (Q&P), quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) were introduced. Also, the effects of multiphase controlling methods on microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties, as well as the key breakthrough problems in industrial application of the new heat treatments, were analyzed.

Key words: multiphase controlling, bainite isothermal quenching, quenching & partitioning process, quenching-partitioning-tempering process
