Résumé en anglais

Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) process permits to produce innovative microstructures containing large fraction of carbon enriched retained austenite. The present study highlights that austenite undergoes significant internal stresses generated during such thermal cycle. Both mechanical and chemical contributions are likely to affect its stability at room temperature and thus the resulting mechanical properties of the steel. The experiments carried out by High Energy X-Ray Diffraction (HEXRD) show unambiguously that internal stresses in austenite originate from martensitic transformation strain and from additional hydrostatic stresses induced during both reheating to partitioning temperature and final cooling. These eigenstrains are attributed to the difference in Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) between martensite and austenite and are predicted successfully with a purely elastic mean field approach. In the present study, retained austenite is shown to be in compression at room temperature. As a consequence, this state of stress contributes to stabilize retained austenite against a possible strain induced transformation at room temperature and affects the way to determine the carbon content in austenite.< Réduire
