Insights into the role of retained austenite stability in TRIP-aided steel: Ductilizing and toughening

This study investigates the tensile and impact property of TRIP (transformation-induced plasticity)-aided steel with different retained austenite (RA) stability at different temperatures. The RA stability of experimental steels processed by hot rolling-coiling at 450 °C, short tempering and long duration tempering followed the sequence: un-temper (C450)
