Abstract
The joints of transformation-induced plasticity assisted advanced high strength steel (TRIP-assisted AHSS) processed by traditional fusion weld techniques faced problems such as low retained austenite content and poor strength and ductility. In this study, a novel approach that friction stir mechanical alloying (FSMA) was successfully employed to weld Q&P 1180 steel. The results showed that heterogeneous structure including martensite, retained austenite, cementite, and nano-carbon particles was formed in stir zone (SZ) of Q&P steel FSMA joint, and the content of retained austenite was enhanced to 14.1 %. The strength-ductility product of the SZ was increased to 40 GPa%, reaching 121 % of that of base material. This was attributed to the increase of transformation-induced plasticity effect, dislocations across martensite/austenite interface capacity and plastic deformation ability of martensite during tensile test. This provides a novel and high-quality welding strategy for TRIP-assisted AHSS.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
