Assessment of the Hardening Behavior and Tensile Properties of a Cold-Rolled Bainitic–Ferritic Steel
The automotive field is continuously researching safer, high-strength, ductile materials. Nowadays, dual-phase (DP) steels are gaining importance, since they meet all these requirements. Dual-phase steel made of ferrite and bainite is the object of a complete microstructural and mechanical character...

The automotive field is continuously researching safer, high-strength, ductile materials. Nowadays, dual-phase (DP) steels are gaining importance, since they meet all these requirements. Dual-phase steel made of ferrite and bainite is the object of a complete microstructural and mechanical characterization, which includes tensile and bending tests. This specific steel contains ferrite and bainite in equal parts; ferrite is the soft phase while bainite acts as a dispersed reinforcing system. This peculiar microstructure, together with fine dispersed carbides, an extremely low carbon content (0.09 wt%), and a minimal degree of strain hardening (less than 10%) allow this steel to compete with traditional medium-carbon single-phase steels. In this work, a full pearlitic C67 steel containing 0.67% carbon was used as a benchmark to build a comparative study between the DP and SP steels. Moreover, the Crussard–Jaoul (C-J) and Voce analysis were adopted to describe the hardening behavior of the two materials. Using the C-J analysis, it is possible to separately analyze the ferrite and bainite strain hardening and understand which alterations occur to DP steel after being cold rolled.
