Description
This paper shows a comparison analysis of mechanical properties of TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) effect steel wires with different carbon content, classified into a group of AHSS (Advanced High-Strength Steel) steels, which are the multiphase steels offering a unique combination of high strength and ductility. This combination is achieved through the transformation of retained austenite to martensite in the TRIP deformation process. The decrease of carbon content influences the amount of retained austenite in the steel structure and consequently the mechanical properties of the drawn wire.
