Zusammenfassung:A carbon steel alloy that exhibits the combined properties of high strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance is one whose microstructure contains ferrite regions combined with martensite-austenite regions, with carbide precipitates dispersed in the ferrite regions but without carbide precipitates are any of the interfaces between different phases. The microstructure thus contains of four distinct phases: ( 1 ) martensite laths separated by ( 2 ) thin films of retained austenite, plus ( 3 ) ferrite regions containing ( 4 ) carbide precipitates. In certain embodiments, the microstructure further contains carbide-free ferrite regions.
