Abstract

An in-situ analysis of local strain accommodation on transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) aided multi-phase steel was performed with a correlative application of characterization techniques such as digital image correlation (DIC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and micro-mechanical testing. The local strain on the complex microstructure of the multi-phase steel was measured during a tensile test using an innovative DIC method (which does not employ artificial patterns), in conjunction with a scanning electron microscope. The constituent phases of the examined surface were identified by postprocessing implemented on the EBSD maps. This was further verified by nano-indentation, consequently enabling systematic and quantitative analyses of the strain partitioning between the phases. Soft acicular ferrite accommodated the largest strain with sites of intense strain localization around the hard, neighboring martensite. The retained austenite transformed gradually into martensite because of the applied strain and caused strain localization in the neighboring acicular ferrite. This verified that DIC method proposed in this study enables precise and effective data collection at the interfaces between different phases that could have certainly been blocked by the DIC patterns in the conventional method.

Notes

  1. A cluster corresponded to a grain or a sub-granular area transformed from a parent austenite grain.

  2. The area is smaller than the average area of all BCC clusters.

  3. More than 60% of the boundary is shared with αm and γ.

  4. Figure 12b shows the data only for the phase boundaries by α1. This is only for better clarity of the figure, and the full set of data is consistent with Fig. 12a.
