Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

Dual Phase Steel features a unique microstructure consisting of approximately 70-85% soft ferrite matrix with 15-30% hard martensite islands. This dual-phase microstructure provides exceptional work hardening behavior, combining the ductility of ferrite with the strength of martensite. The continuous ferrite matrix ensures excellent formability, while dispersed martensite islands contribute to high strength and energy absorption capacity.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs controlled intercritical annealing at 750-820°C followed by rapid cooling to achieve optimal dual-phase microstructure. The precise temperature control during intercritical annealing determines the austenite fraction, which transforms to martensite during cooling, while the remaining ferrite provides the ductile matrix. This process is carefully monitored to ensure consistent mechanical properties.

Advanced Manufacturing Process

Our state-of-the-art continuous annealing lines feature precise atmosphere control, uniform heating zones, and controlled cooling sections. Real-time monitoring of carbon potential and temperature profiles ensures consistent dual-phase formation. MetalZenith's advanced process control systems maintain tight tolerances on mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics.

Specialized Quality Testing

Comprehensive testing protocols include welding performance evaluation using standard structural welding procedures, forming limit diagram analysis for complex forming operations, high-cycle fatigue testing under variable amplitude loading, and salt spray corrosion testing per ASTM B117. Microstructural analysis using optical and electron microscopy ensures optimal ferrite-martensite distribution.

Structural Application Considerations

For building construction, Dual Phase Steel offers superior seismic performance through enhanced energy absorption. In bridge engineering, the high strength-to-weight ratio enables longer spans with reduced material usage. Machinery manufacturing benefits from excellent fatigue resistance and formability. Vehicle structural applications leverage the crash energy absorption characteristics. General engineering applications utilize the optimal balance of strength, ductility, and weldability for complex structural designs.
