Abstract

In order to satisfy the requirements of lightweight in the automotive industry,the development of advanced high strength steel obtained using the quenching and partitioning (Q&P)process has been paid extensive attentions. In the present work,the application of Q&P concept during hot rolling was investigated for wide use of Q&P process on the conventional hot rolling production line. It was shown that introducing thermo-mechanical treatment during the conventional Q&P process was favorable for significantly refining the microstructure and obtaining a certain amount of retained austenite,and the experimental steel possessed the higher product of strength and ductility under the condition of maintaining higher strength. The feasibility of producing the hot rolled Q&P steel(DQ(direct quenching)&P steel)was determined on the hot rolling production line by employing the new-generation thermo mechanical control process (TMCP)with ultra fast cooling at the core.
