The effects of Cr contents(0.3 and 1.0 wt.%)and isothermal holding temperatures(400,440,and 480℃)on the microstructure evolution and properties of complex phase steel with high formability(CH steel)were investigated ...The effects of Cr contents(0.3 and 1.0 wt.%)and isothermal holding temperatures(400,440,and 480℃)on the microstructure evolution and properties of complex phase steel with high formability(CH steel)were investigated using dilatometry,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray diffraction.The results show that the microstructures of CH steel with 0.3 wt.%Cr are ferrite,granular bainite,martensite,and retained austenite,while no ferrite is observed in the microstructure of CH steel with 1.0 wt.%Cr in the same process.Cr promotes the precipitation of(Nb,Ti)C in the high-temperature austenite region through theoretical calculations and TEM observations.Cr retards the bainite transformation and refines the grain size of CH steel.Furthermore,as isothermal holding temperature increases from 400 to 480℃,the bainite and retained austenite fractions of two CH steels decrease,while the martensite fraction increases in the steels after final quenching.Consequently,the strength has an increasing tendency and the total elongation has a decreasing tendency with increasing isothermal temperature.展开更多
