Abstract

Quenching and partitioning (QP) steel is widely used to process light-weight structural parts in the automotive industry, but its poor bending property generally jeopardizes the yield of stamping parts. Here, we combined a QP steel with soft surface layers to process a multilayered steel sheet, achieving an exceptional enhancement of bending property. Additionally, the introduction of the soft surface layer and strong interface restricts the formation of sharp surface steps and promotes the deformability of QP layer by hetero-deformation induced hardening. These two mechanisms can effectively reduce stress concentration in QP layer and postpone crack initiation, leading to a significant improvement of the bending property. The study provides a useful approach and insights to improve the bending property and formability of QP steel and other advanced high strength steels.

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.
