TRIP-assisted steels: role of retained austenite
Channel: bhadeshia123
Date: 2011-04-24

TRIP stands for transformation-induced plasticity. TRIP-assisted steels have a microstructure which is predominantly allotriomorphic ferrite, with a small fraction of bainitic ferrite and carbon-enriched retained austenite. It is the latter which undergoes martensitic transformation when the steel is stretched. This transformation enhances the properties of the alloy.
