Abstract:

High-strength steel occupies an important position in modern industry because of its performance advantages and cost effectiveness. Focusing on its development trends and technical challenges, this paper mainly analyzed three types of martensitic steel with tensile strength exceeding 1 800 MPa and excellent plasticity and toughness, namely low-alloyed martensitic steel, quenching-partitioning (Q&P) martensitic steel, and martensitic aging steel. Low-alloyed martensitic steel was heated to obtain tempered martensitic steel, and the balance of strength and toughness was achieved by adjusting the alloying composition and process. Q&P martensitic steel contained carbon-rich austenite, which enhanced strength and plasticity through phase transformation during deformation. Martensitic aging steel with very low carbon content relied on aging for precipitation strengthening, and its toughness was superior to that of carbon-strengthened steel of the same strength. This paper systematically summarized the research progress in composition design, manufacturing process, and mechanical properties of the above-mentioned high-strength steel.

Key words: high-strength steel, low-alloyed martensitic steel, hot stamping steel, quenching-partitioning martensitic steel, martensitic aging steel
