Some researched is currently being conducted on Q & P steel, but Q & P techniques and related mechanisms have been mostly research based on conventional transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel. This study researches the effect of Mn on the properties of Q &P sheet steel. Two kinds of steel sheet with different levels of Mn content (1.46% Mn and 2.75% Mn) are investigated. After being fully annealed, the steel sheets were quenched to a temperature between Ms and Mr. Allocation treatment then caused the carbon to be partitioned into the remaining austenite.The microstructure and tensile properties were analyzed. The results show that the increment of Mn content can increase the stability of the steel and decrease the sensitivity of the quenching temperature (QT). The results also indicate that increasing the level of Mn can effectively suppress the formation of bainite.展开更多

The result shows that with decreasing prior austenite grain size, both the packet size and block width decrease, while the lath width has virtually no change. Accordingly, both strength and toughness increase, while total elongation decreases. The yield strength has a Hall Petch type relationship with the prior austenite grain size, packet size and block width, and the block width may be regarded as a key factor influencing strength. On the other hand, the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) is found to be more related lo the packet size, which may be considered as a dominant factor influencing toughness.展开更多

The current approach of evaluating load bearing capacity of mild steel columns at room temperature is extended to high strength Q460 steel columns with due consideration to high temperature properties of high strength Q460 steel. The critical temperature of high strength Q460 steel column is presented and compared with mild steel columns. The proposed approach was validated by comparing the predicted load capacity with that evaluated through finite element analysis and test results. In addition, parametric studies were carried out by employing the proposed approach to study the effect of residual stress and geometrical imperfections. Results from parametric studies show that, only for a long column (slenderness higher than 75), the magnitude and distribution mode of residual stress have little influence on ultimate load bearing capacity of high strength Q460 steel columns, but the geometrical imperfections have significant influence on any columns. At a certain slenderness ratio, the stability factor first decreases and then increases with temperature rise.展开更多
