Abstract
An analytical model has been developed which can describe the tensile deformation behavior of dualphase steel containing retained austenite which transforms to martensite during deformation. The model takes into account the internal back stresses created in the material as a result of the deformation. The influence of various metallurgical factors, such as the amounts of the secondary phases (martensite and retained austenite), strength ratio of the phases, work hardening coefficients, and the stability of retained austenite with respect to the strain-induced transformation, was analyzed. The strongest influence on both strength and ductility was found to result from a large work hardening coefficient of the martensite. Increasing the stability of retained austenite to strain-induced transformation improved the ductility remarkably. The model developed was used to predict the tensile deformation behavior of a commercial dual phase steel fairly accurately.
