Abstract

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) approach has been introduced in martensitic steel through quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment to overcome temper embrittlement. This heat treatment increases fraction of low energy coincidence site lattice (CSL) boundary from 0.12 in Q&P specimen to 0.22 in Q&P-tempered specimen through transformation of retained austenite to martensite. Presence of austenite in martensitic matrix produces different interfaces. Low energy austenite/austenite and austenite/martensite interfaces reduces segregation of tramp elements during tempering leading to increased toughness compared to normalized and tempered specimen having high energy martensite/martensite interface. Increased toughness is accompanied by a change in fracture morphology from intergranular fracture to typical dimple fracture.
