One-step quenching and partitioning treatment of a tailor welded blank of boron and TRIP steels for automotive applications

The present study investigated the feasibility of applying a one-step quenching and partitioning treatment into simulative hot stamping of a tailor welded blank. A low carbon CMnSiAl TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steel was welded to a common hot stamping boron steel (22MnB5). The combined...
