摘要

Quenching and partitioning can produce excellent combinations of strength and ductility. Comprehensive knowledge regarding the effect of isothermal holds below \(M_s\) M s is relevant to plate processing but is currently lacking. Microstructure and mechanical properties of a 0.3C–1.5Si–1.5Mn–0.3Cr steel held from 10 seconds to 3 hours at 280 °C were investigated. The results show increased austenite stability at shorter hold times. Longer hold times resulted in bainitic constituents and coarser retained austenite, with reduced tensile ductility.
