Dual phase steels are low carbon steels which are thermo-mechanically processed to getting better formability and toughness than ferrite-perlite steels with similar tensile strength. The microstructure of these steels consisting of a ferrite matrix with hard martensitic/ bainitic second phase. The concept of representative volume element (RVE) is c...
