In this study, microstructure and distribution of alloy elements were investigated in thermo-mechanically processed C-Mn-Si transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. The microstructures of TRIP steels were investigated by using advanced analysis techniques, such as three dimensional atom probe tomography (3D-APT). At first, the microstructure was observed by using TEM. TEM results revealed that microstructure of C-Mn-Si TRIP steel was composed of ferrite, bainte, and retained austenite. 3D-APT was used to characterize atomic-scale partitioning of added elements at the phase interface. In the retained austenite phase, Ti and B were enriched with C. However, there was no fluctuation of Mn and Si concentration across the interface. Through these analysis techniques, the advanced characteristics of constituent microstructure in C-Mn-Si TRIP steels were identified.

The expolitation of substitute material and new manufacturing technology of the automobile body panel for next generation cars have been steadily professed by advanced automobile companies. High strength steel of TRIP (Transformation of Induced Plasticity) type is developed in response to demands about crash safety and high strength of automobile. In this study, basic technologies can fix up problems occurring on the mass production and applied to the other forming methods will be prepared through rasping a property of TRIP material.

A new method was introduced to distinguish the ferrite, bainite and martensite in transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel by using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). EBSD is a very powerful microstructure analysis technique at the length scales ranging from tens of nanometers to millimeters. However, iron BCC phases such as ferrite, bainite and martensite cannot be easily distinguished by EBSD due to their similar surface morphology and crystallographic structure. Among the various EBSD-based methodology, image quality (IQ) values, which present the perfection of a crystal lattice, was used to distinguish the iron BCC phases. IQ values are very useful tools to discern the iron BCC phases because of their different density of crystal defect and lattice distortion. However, there are still remaining problems that make the separation of bainite and martensite difficult. For instance, these phases have very similar IQ values in many cases, especially in deformed region; therefore, even though the IQ value was used, it has been difficult to distinguish the bainite and martensite. For more precise separation of bainite and martensite, IQ threshold values were determined by a correlative TEM analysis. By determining the threshold values, iron BCC phases were successfully separated.

This paper describes how to make tailored blanks of front side member that were composed of high strength steel and TRIP(TRansformation Induced Plasticity) steel for weight reduction and improvement of crash load. Tailored blanks made by laser and mash-seam welding were compared with non-tailored blanks made by spot welding. Static compression tests were performed for performance comparison of each sample. Front side members made by tailored blank were superior to those made by spot welding in the initial, but those results were inverse in the last. Average load of tailored blank in six-angle type was better than that of rectangular type.

Various types of high strength steel sheets were usually used for improving the automobile safety and fuel efficiency by reducing the vehicle weight. The present study aimed to develop the TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) aided high-strength low carbon steel sheets by using a reverse transformation process. The 0.1C-4~8Mn steels were reverse-transformed by slow heating to intercritical temperature region and then furnace cooled to the room temperature. Granular type retained austenite was observed in 4Mn steel and lath type retained austenite was also observed in 6~8Mn steel. The results show that the 6Mn steel under reverse transformed at $625^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs has maximum elongation up to 39%. The optimum strength-elongation combination was 3,888 ($kg/mm^2{\times}%$) when the 8Mn steel was reverse transformed at $625^{\circ}C$ for 12 h.

The development of lightweight car bodies is the most prominent issue in the automotive industry today, in preparation of environmental regulations such as reduction of CO$_2$ emissions. Also, with the recent implementation of mandatory off-set collision test, many studies have been carried out to enhance the safety of automobiles. Recently, TRIP(Transformation Induced Plasticity) steel has developed as a prominent alternative due to its high strength and superior elongation. In this study, TRIP steel weldability is evaluated with lobe curve, continuous spot welds, shunt effect, and weld of edge position.

적절한 가공조건을 통하여, 중 탄소강에서 SIDT를 적용하여 페라이트-시멘타이트 미세조직이 압연 직후에 얻어졌다. 또한 이와 같은 조건은 압하온도 $690^{\circ}C$, 높이 감소율 $70\%$ (변형량 1.2) 및 변형율 속도 1/s에서 가공하였을 때 얻어졌으며, 가공 직후 $730^{\circ}C$로 승온하여 약 30분간 유지 후 서냉한 조건에서 매우 연한 미세조직이 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이는 기존 20 시간 이상의 구상화 열처리에 비해 매우 짧은 시간이며, 구상화 열처리를 통한 경험한 미세조직과 유사한 특성을 나타낼 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, the constitutive equation is developed to analyze the characteristics of strain-induced plasticity in the range of low temperature of 316 stainless steel. The practical usefulness of the developed equations is evaluated by the comparison between experimental and numerical results. For 316 stainless steel, constitutive equations, which represent the characteristics of nonlinear material behavior under the cryogenic temperature environment, are developed using the Bodner's plasticity model. In order to predict the material behaviour such as damage accumulation, Bodner-Chan's damage model is implemented to the developed constitutive equations. Based on the developed constitutive equations, 3-D finite element analysis program is developed, and verified using experimental results.

An oxidation-reduction scheme is an alternative approach for improving the galvanizability of advanced high-strength steel in the continuous hot-dip galvanizing process. Here, we investigated the effect of oxygen partial pressure ($P_{O_2}$) on the oxidation behavior of a transformation-induced plasticity steel containing 1.5 wt% Si and 1.6 wt% Mn during heating to and holding for 60 s at $700^{\circ}C$ under atmospheres with various $P_{O_2}$ values. Irrespective of $P_{O_2}$, a thin amorphous Si-rich layer of Si-Mn-O was formed underneath the Fe oxide scale (a $Fe_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$ bilayer) in the heating stage. In contrast to Si, Mn tended to segregate at the scale surface as $(Fe,Mn)_2O_3$. The multilayered structure of $(Fe,Mn)_2O_3/Fe_2O_3/Fe_3O_4$/amorphous Si-Mn-O remained even after extended oxidizing at $700^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. $Fe_2O_3$ was the dominantly growing oxide phase in the scale. The enhanced growth rate of $Fe_2O_3$ with increasing $P_{O_2}$ resulted in the formation of more Kirkendall voids in the amorphous Si-rich layer and a less Mn segregation at the scale surface. The mechanisms underlying the absence of FeO and the formation of Kirkendall voids are discussed.
