Abstract

We have presented a review of the results of investigating the effect of the cooling conditions and heat treatment on the amount of retained austenite and mechanical properties of commercial steels. Possible methods of obtaining enhanced amount of retained austenite due to the stabilization effect, bainitic transformation, and quenching from the intercritical temperature range have been discussed and analyzed.
