Decoupling of the softening processes during rapid tempering of a martensitic steel
Abstract
The increased adoption of martensite-containing advanced high strength steels, such as martensitic and dual-phase steels, into automotive applications has led to concerns among practitioners with respect to softening during rapid tempering cycles such as those experienced during laser welding. Past studies on rapid tempering have successfully modeled the rapid tempering process; however, the activation energies and softening rates calculated …
