Through a combination of electron microscopy and X-ray/synchrotron diffraction characterization, hardness and bend ductility measurements as well as density functional theory calculations, it is shown that hardness is controlled by four additive contributions.

The specimens were subjected to three different intercritical annealing (IA) temperatures (775 °C, 800 °C, and 825 °C) for 20 min, and then continuously followed the bainitic isothermal transformation (BIT) at 400 °C for 30 min. With an increase in the IA temperature, the bainite fraction and the stability of retained austenite increased, accompanied by a decrease in the ferrite fraction. In-situ EBSD observation revealed the crack initiation at the deformation-induced martensite/ferrite interface. The strain localization in ferrite, assisted by transforming neighboring austenite to martensite, promoted crack initiation during the tensile test. The tensile elongation decreased from about 28 % to 17 % due to the lower strain partitioning in ferrite originating in the reduced ferrite fraction and TRIP amounts as the IA temperature increased. However, the refined grain size and the reduced ferrite fraction by a higher IA treatment improve impact toughness by about 60 % at room temperature.
