Abstract

Cold rolled dual phase steel was developed from Q345 steel by heat treatment procedure for automotive applications. The ultimate tensile strength was improved about 100MPa higher than the traditional cold-rolled Q345 steel in the continuous annealing simulation experiment. The microstructure presented varied characteristics in different intercritical annealing temperatures; mechanical properties were changed correspondingly as well. The chief discussions are focus on the recrystallization, hardenability of austenite and martensite transformation in the experiment.
