Abstract: A low cost high strength steel was studied by TMCP processing under different cooling modes, the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated by the optical microscope, tensile testing machine and shock testing machine respectively. The results showed that the transformation strengthen and insulation treatment in two phase region can bring a small amount of ferrite into the tested steel, in which the original microstructure is mainly lath bainite, that leads to high strength and high shock toughness of the tested steel. Under the similar conditions, the tensile strength, yield strength and yield ratio increase while the elongation and reduction of area decrease with the decrease of the final cooling temperature.

Key words: high strength steels, microstructure, mechanical properties, bainite, impact toughness
