Enhancement of strength-ductility trade-off in a 2000 MPa grade press-hardened steel via refined martensite with stable high-density cementite

High-strength press-hardened steels (PHSs) are characterized by a martensite structure of high strength and adequate ductility. Strengthening PHSs with high C contents is usually accompanied by a loss of ductility and toughness. To overcome this inherent strength–ductility trade-off dilemma, we prop...
