Linking statistical crystal plasticity modelling of TRIP to the microstructural evolution probed by 3D X-ray microscopy KU Leuven
The hallmark of TRIP materials is their exceptional combination of toughness and formability rooted on the mechanically induced transformation of austenite to martensite. The gradual transformation to an intricate mixture of austenite and martensite bestows an exceptional balance of strength and ductility to these materials. However, the resulting complex interplay between the concomitant phase transformation, plastic slip and the local 3D ...
