In contrast to current metallurgical beliefs, we found direct evidence that austenite grains with higher Mn content transformed earlier than the grains with lower Mn contents. Consequently, in Chapter 4, a combination of Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) and high-sensitivity Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) was used to correlate the changes in microstructural features of metastable austenite grains upon deformation along with their respective local chemical compositions in TRIP 700 and TRIP 800 steels. In addition to the austenite-to-martensite phase transformation, the role of alloying elements such as C, Mn, Si, and Al, and their effect on transformations during deformation, are poorly understood and there is an increasing need to gain fundamental insight into this topic. Furthermore, EBSD experiments were carried out on TRIP 700 steels which confirmed that the grain rotation behavior is consistent in both TRIP steels. The current findings suggest that grain rotation is an additional mechanism contributing to the high ductility of these steels and may be as important as the contribution of the austenite–martensite transformation. A lowering of Schmid factors of embedded austenite grains is seen to be the reason for the delayed transformation of these grains during the deformation process. The rotation angles of embedded austenite grains were found to depend on the crystallographic orientation of the grains with respect to the straining direction. These differences in strain-induced behavior are likely associated with different stress states and grain rotation capabilities of the austenite grains upon deformation. Austenite grains positioned at grain boundaries between multiple ferrite grains were amongst the first to transform, whereas austenite grains that are completely embedded in larger ferrite grains were often found to undergo rotations.

Local defects, such as twins, lower the stability of austenite grains and thus transform at the earlier stages of the deformation process. The experiments showed that the retained austenite grains at the surface have a stronger tendency to transform than the retained austenite grains in the bulk of the material. The transformation tendency of retained austenite grains at the surface and inside the bulk as a result of uni-axial tension was investigated on TRIP 800 steel sheets. Deformation induced transformation behavior of retained austenite grains is assessed in Chapter 3 with the help of Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. Despite the fact that steels are amongst the most extensively investigated materials, many features of the austenite-martensite transformation process during deformation remain unclarified to date. The numbers (700, 800) designate the ultimate tensile strength of the materials. For the purpose of understanding the structure-property relationships, two TRIP steels (Al alloyed TRIP 700 and Si alloyed TRIP 800) and one TRIP assisted Multi Phase or TAMP (Nb microalloyed TAMP 800) steel were investigated in this study. In Chapter 2 the material properties and material processing are described into more detail, and an overview is presented of the characterization techniques used in this thesis. Chapter 1 introduces the current state of the art of TRIP steels, highlighting the importance of microstructure - mechanical properties - applications relationships. In particular, the mechanical response of Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels is correlated with their microstructures. The goal of the study consolidated in this thesis is to understand the mechanics in steels using microscopy.
