The role of silicon in carbon partitioning processes in martensite/austenite microstructures
Understanding carbon redistribution in steels is crucial in developing advanced high strength steels.For instance, Quenching & Partitioning (Q&P) processes rely on the partitioning of carbon from martensite into austenite, where at the end of the heat treatment the carbon-enriched austenite shows higher stability at room temperature.Recent literatu
