We investigate an extraordinarily high ductility in a low alloy carbon steel at an elevated temperature after a quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment. The conventional (quenched and tempered) reference material does not show similar behavior. Interestingly, the Q&P treated material's ductility is considerably reduced at increasing strain rates while strength remains almost constant. These results indicate the presence of a diffusion-controlled deformation mechanism at elevated temperatures. Our research shows that interlath retained austenite is more stable during deformation at higher temperatures, resulting in a delayed transformation to martensite and therefore to a more pronounced contribution to plastic deformation at (and in the vicinity of) the many interfaces inherently present in this multi-phase steel.
