The T-TRIP project aims to investigate more closely the so far not systematically studied transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) during the precipitation formation in steels under mechanical stresses. For this purpose, a selection of steels from the class of martensitic aging (maraging) steels and tempering steels are investigated as example materials. The choice of these steel classes results from important technological applications. Heat-treated steels are usually tempered after hardening, resulting in carbide formation. Since residual stresses due to manufacturing are commonly present in steel components, the precipitation reaction occurs under the influence of an internal load. This applies in particular to modern surface hardening methods by means of electro-magnetic induction or lasers. Martensitic aging steels are used, for example, in welding processes or in additive manufacturing. These processes result in extremely high cooling rates and associated thermally induced residual stresses. Due to the layer wise processing, re-heating of already solidified areas occurs and a precipitation formation under the influence of stresses and increased temperatures is initiated. From both classes steel compositions which differ in the volume content of the precipitates will be selected for this investigation. The experiments include dilatometry for the measurement of the TRIP effect at various applied tensile and compressive stresses as well as isothermal and continuous temperature control. In addition, the influence of the applied stress on the resulting mechanical properties of the material is to be investigated. As indicators for this, the yield strength and the hardness after the heat treatment are to be determined. In the next step, the transferability between the steel classes will be examined in order to determine the influence of the precipitation type (carbides in tempered steels as well as intermetallic phases in martensitic aging steels) on the transformation induced plasticity. The properties of the matrix as well as the morphologies of the precipitates will be characterized by means of X-ray and electron microscopic methods.The findings of the mechanical experiments are then to be interpreted and evaluated with the help of the results from the microscopic characterization in order to give a more detailed insight into the mechanisms during martensitic aging and tempering. The determined dependencies of the measured transformation induced plasticity will be described by means of suitable models for both steel classes. In particular, the dependence on the precipitated volume content for the respective steels should be correlated with the transformation plasticity constant characteristic of the TRIP effect. Finally, from the results and created models the transfer to the technological application in the field of heat treatment and component distortion can be made possible.

T-TRIP项目旨在更仔细地研究迄今为止尚未系统研究的机械应力下钢中沉淀形成过程中的相变诱导塑性（TRIP）。为此目的，从马氏体时效（马氏体时效）钢和回火钢类的钢的选择进行了研究作为示例材料。这些钢材类别的选择源于重要的技术应用。热处理钢通常在硬化后回火，导致碳化物形成。由于制造过程中的残余应力通常存在于钢构件中，因此在内部载荷的影响下发生沉淀反应。这特别适用于通过电磁感应或激光的现代表面硬化方法。马氏体时效钢例如用于焊接工艺或增材制造。这些过程导致极高的冷却速率和相关的热致残余应力。由于逐层处理，已经固化的区域发生再加热，并且在应力和升高的温度的影响下开始形成沉淀。从这两类钢的组成不同的体积含量的沉淀物将被选择用于这项调查。实验包括在各种施加的拉伸和压缩应力以及等温和连续温度控制的TRIP效应的测量的电阻率。此外，所施加的应力对材料的所得机械性能的影响有待研究。作为其指标，要确定热处理后的屈服强度和硬度。在下一步中，将检查钢类之间的可转移性，以确定沉淀类型（回火钢中的碳化物以及马氏体时效钢中的金属间相）对相变诱导塑性的影响。通过X射线和电子显微镜的方法表征基体的性质以及析出物的形貌，然后借助显微表征的结果解释和评价力学实验的结果，以便更详细地了解马氏体时效和回火的机制。测定的相变诱导塑性的确定的依赖关系将通过两种钢类的合适的模型来描述。特别是，对于相应的钢的析出体积含量的依赖性应与相变塑性常数的TRIP效应的特性。最后，从结果和创建的模型转移到热处理和部件变形领域的技术应用是可能的。
