title = "Effects of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of bainitic single- and complex-phase steel",
abstract = "Different heat treatments were applied to process low-alloyed bainitic single- and complex-phase steel grades with strength levels above 800 MPa. Specimens were heat treated in a multi-purpose annealing simulator (MULTIPAS) in order to identify microstructures with optimum mechanical properties. Light optical microscopy (LOM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the microstructure of the specimens. The fraction of retained austenite was measured by a magnetic-volumetric method. To characterize the mechanical properties of the investigated materials, tensile and hole expansion tests were conducted. The effects of selected heat treatments on the resulting microstructure and on the mechanical properties are discussed.",
