Partitioning effects are significant, dominating over tempering at temperatures up to 500 °C, which affects material properties.
The carbon and nitrogen partitioning from martensite enhances the retained austenite content, improving ductility and strength.
Assessment of several steel grades revealed that higher austenitizing and quenching temperatures increase retained austenite stability.
Temperatures above 500 °C lead to carbide and nitride precipitation, which reduces retained austenite and impacts mechanical properties.
