Abstract

Abstract: The present review work is on the effect of the quenching-partitioning heat treatment technique on the alloyed medium Mn steel. Medium Mn steel with alloying elements gives an ultrahigh strength and a multiphase microstructure. Nowadays, to fulfill the demands of the automotive industries, these steels need high strength with a higher amount of ductility. Mechanical properties of the alloyed medium manganese steel depend on reversed austenite and fresh martensite. The quenching-partitioning parameters modify the fraction (volume) of reversed austenite and martensite. The alloying elements like Al, Si, Ni, and Cr further change the amount of the reversed austenite and martensite, which enhances the strength, hardness, and toughness of this steel. Hence in this review work, a detailed study is carried out to give an idea about the effect of the quenching-partitioning treatment with different alloying elements on the low carbon alloyed medium Mn steels.
