Dual-phase steel for 88 strength class fasteners

$15.00

The terminology “dual-phase” has been accepted to define a class of low carbon, low alloy steels that generally contain two phases, ferrite and martensite or ferrite and bainite. Here this terminology is loosely applied defining a low carbon steel containing a major soft ferrite phase and other minor harder phases. The minor phase can be martensite, bainite, pearlite or retained austenite or a combination of them.
