Abstract A low carbon low alloy steel with two different types of
microstructures was characterized
by nanoindentation. The results indicate that the average
nanoindentation hardness of martensite is at least
70\% higher than that of ferrite in the dual-phase sample. Since the
ultrafine martensite grain is embedded in
the soft ferrite matrix, the nanoindentation hardness of martensite
exhibits a substrate-effect when the
indentation depth is over 40 nm. Due to more carbon
atoms partitioning to austenite during intercritical
process, carbon content of martensite in the dual-phase
sample may be several times higher than the
nominal carbon content of the steel, which makes the
average nanoindentation hardness of martensite in the
dual-phase sample is at least 30% higher than that in
the fully martensitic sample. In addition, the possible effects of
carbon partitioning on Poisson ratio and Young's
modulus of martensite were discused briefly.
