Super-plastic deformation that originates from transformation plasticity has favorable aspects for steels with improved strength and ductility. However, it also causes undesirable deformation of products or specimens, leading to their degradation. This article reviews recent investigations of transformation plasticity. A combination of newly suggested models, numerical analyses, and novel experiments has attempted to reveal the mechanism. Since the nature of the transformation plasticity is still unclear, there are significant challenges still to be solved. Fundamental understanding of transformation plasticity will be essential for the development of advanced steels.

Transformation plasticity is that when a phase transformation of ferrous or non-ferrous alloys progresses even under an extremely small applied stress compared with a yield stress of the material, a permanent deformation occurs. One of widely accepted description for the transformation was proposed by Greenwood and Johnson [1]. Their description is based on an assumption that a weaker phase of an ideal plastic material could deform plastically to accommodate the externally applied stress and the internal stress caused by the volumetric change accompanying the phase transformation. In this study, an implicit finite element model was developed to simulate the deformation behavior of a low carbon steel during phase transformation. The finite element model was coupled with a phase field model, which could simulate the kinetics for ferrite to austenite transformation of the steel. The thermo-elasto-plastic constitutive equation for each phase was adopted to confirm the weaker phase yielding, which was proposed by Greenwood and Johnson [1]. From the simulation, the origin of the transformation plasticity was quantitatively discussed comparing with the other descriptions of it.

An elastic-plasticity model during the austenitic decomposition was derived and implemented to incorporate the two important deformation behaviors observed during the phase transformations: the volumetric strain and transformation induced plasticity due to the temperature change and phase transformation. To obtain transformed phase volume fractions during cooling, the fourth order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the Kirkaldy's phase kinetics model which is function of temperature, austenitic grain size and chemical composition. The volumetric strain was calculated by considering the densities of constituent phases, while the transformation induced plasticity was based on the micro-plasticity due to the volume mismatch between soft austenitic phase and other harder phases. The constitutive equations were implemented into the implicit finite element software and a simple boundary value problem was chosen as a model problem to validate the effect of transformation plasticity on the deformation behavior of steel under cooling from high temperature. It was preliminary concluded that the transformation plasticity plays a critical role in relaxing the developed stress during forming and thus reducing the magnitude of springback.

A model is developed to quantitatively analyze the dilatometry curve of carbon steel for the evaluation of phase fraction during transformation. The effect of anisotropic volume change due to transformation mismatch plasticity as well as carbon enrichment in austenite during the transformation is considered in the developed model. The developed model is applied for the analysis of dilatometry curves of carbon steels. The result shows that considering the anisotropic dilatation is very essential to quantitatively evaluate the phase fraction from the dilatation curve.

Finite element analysis of welding processes, which entail phase evolution, heat transfer and deformation, is considered in this paper. Attention focuses on numerical implementation of the thermo-elastic-plastic constitutive equation proposed by Leblond et al in consideration of the transformation plasticity. Based upon the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient, hyperelastic formulation is employed for efficient numerical integration, and the algorithmic consistent moduli for elastic-plastic deformations including transformation plasticity are obtained in the closed form. The convergence behavior of the present implementation is demonstrated via a couple of numerical example.

A thermodynamic model was developed to analyze the characteristics of the heat generation during transformation of austenite in 0.186wt% and 0.458 wt%. carbon steels. The heat capacity and the heat evolved during transformation were formulated as functions of temperature and chemical composition for ferrite bainite and pearlite. in addition using the transformation dilatometer the transformation heat evolved during cooling was measured and the transformation behavior was observed. It was found that the heat capacity of ferrite was similar to those of pearlite and bainite. The heat capacity of ferrite was greater than that of bainite which was greater than that of pearlite. The molar heat of transformation to pearlite was greater than that to bainite which was greater than that to ferrite. The heats were found to be increased with decreased temperature and increasing the carbon content, It was also observed that the thermodynamic model. The heat of transformation in the higher carbon steel was greater than that in the lower carbon one. This was attributed to the lower transformation temperature and the greater amount of transformed pearlite in the higher carbon steel.

The cyclic hardening behavior of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels shows tension-compression asymmetry known to be attributed to transformation of retained austenite into martensite during deformation. In this work, YoshidaUemori hardening model was used to represent the asymmetric hardening behavior of TRIP1180 steel. Yoshida-Uemori hardening model parameters were obtained from three sets of data: tension-compression, compression-tension, and a combination of the two. Material models were validated for U-bending and springback.

A wide range of grain size was achieved in a Fe-Cr-Mn austenitic stainless steel (STS) by cold rolling and reversion annealing. The tensile characteristics of the STS were analyzed in terms of the dependence of strain induced martensitic (SIM) transformation on the grain size. In the ultrafine grain regime, the steel showed a high yield strength over 1 GPa, a discontinuous yielding, and a prolonged yield point elongation followed by considerable strain hardening. By increasing the grain size, the discontinuous yielding diminished and the yield point elongation decreased. The microstructural examination revealed that these tensile characteristics are closely related to the suppression of SIM transformation with decreasing the grain size. Especially, the prolonged yield point elongation of the ultrafine grained STS was found to be associated with development of unidirectional ε martensite bands. Based on the microstructural examination of the deformed microstructures, the rationalization of the grain size dependence of SIM transformation was suggested.
