Abstract
The different starting structures of the present study were ferrite + coarse pearlite (F+ P₁), ferrit + fine pearlite(F+P₂) and martensite(M). True stress vs. true strain curves were analysed before and after tempering. When compared the work hardening rate before tempering, the DP steel with the M-starting structure has shown the highest value. Uniform true strain was decreased with increasing tempering temperatures up to 400℃, and then increased above 400℃. Void formation behavior beneath the fracture surfaces of the tensile specimens has been studied. Preferred sites of void formation are the ferrite-martensite interfaces, the elongated martensite ends and the precipitate particles. Voids are also formed by splitting of martensite phases in the case of tempering.
