Abstract
Nowadays the possibility to use the TRIP effect (Transformation Induced Plasticity) is stated not only for the high alloy
steels but also for the low alloy steels. This effect is connected with the martensitic transformation, but not necessarily
the strain induced martensitic transformation induced by deformation provokes the TRIP effect: decisive factors are the chemical
composition, the stability of the austenite, its grain size, the particles geometry and their distribution, and also the temperature,
amplitude and rate of deformation during the mechanical loading. The change of energy is compared between the creation of
the quench and strain induced martensite with and without the TRIP effect. The molar enthalpy released during the creation
of quench induced martensite in the continually cooled austenite of the alloy Fe-23.87wt %Ni-0.39wt %C, was calculated from
DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) measurements. For this same material, the consumed work during tensile tests was determined
at different temperatures. The temperatures interval was between Ms and Md. At each température, a volume traction of strain
induced martensite was created and thé TRIP effect could occur, that is both extraordinary great elongation at high ultimate
tensile strength and nearly no local deformation (no creation of a neck). This paper conclues with a discussion on the preferences
and lacks in the use of TRIP effect in low alloy steels.
