T1 - Enhanced properties of martensitic stainless steel due to austenite reversion N2 - The novel heat treatment concept of “Quenching and Partitioning” (Q&P) enables producing low alloyed martensitic steels with high strength and formability. Therefore austenite, retaining from a quenching temperature between Mf and Ms, is stabilised by carbon diffusion. This stabilised austenite transforms in martensite (TRIP effect) under mechanical loading. Current investigations on the Q&P heat treatment of martensitic stainless steels reveal a further enhancement of mechanical properties due to higher amounts of austenite. Thus a tensile strength of 1.800 MPa and a maximum elongation of 20 % are possible, while mechanical properties under compression are much higher due to a distinct SD effect. The presentation aims to gain a further understanding of the Q&P heat treatment and the resulting mechanical properties for the steel X46Cr13, especially the mechanical behaviour under dynamic mechanical loading condition. Results of drop work and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test confirms the findings of quasi static compression test. Furthermore, Charpy impact tests show higher impact toughness compared to the common heat treatment of quenching and tempering (Q&T). Complementary investigations indicate a higher corrosion resistance of Q&P compared to Q&T.
