Abstract

Advanced high strength steels with transformation induced plasticity effect (TRIP-assisted AHSS), have been widely used in the automotive industry due to their excellent balance of high mechanical strength, good formability and low cost. To provide them with TRIP effect, it is necessary to perform isothermal heat treatments to stabilize austenite in room temperature, typically known as retained austenite (Ar). After that, and taking advantage of the high strain hardening rate provided by the TRIP effect, these alloys are subjected to cold forming processes to produce auto body components. The superior formability of TRIP-assisted AHSS is controlled by the Ar fraction and its mechanical stability, which provide high work hardening rate. On the other hand, the Ar thermal stability is also important due to its possible decomposition during the paint baking and galvanizing processes, compromising the material performance. The objective of this research is to perform time-resolved studies of the kinetics of austenitic formation and decomposition during the heat treatment and reheating stages involved in the processing of TRIP-assisted AAAR. This will be achieved by real time X-ray diffraction measurements during thermo-mechanical processing of the material at the XTMS experimental station at the Brazilian synchrotron light source. Further material characterization including scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and atom probe tomography will support the study of fundamental aspects of diffusive and martensitic phase transformations. In addition, the intended scientific results will make possible further optimization of industrial processing conditions for these materials.
