The safety of passengers is important during an automobile collision. Because a collision event involves high speed deformation, it is necessary to develop property data and understand the applicable deformation mechanisms to aid in the selection of proper materials for crash-related automotive components. Therefore, dynamic mechanical properties of low carbon TRIP steels with varying retained austenite stabilities were evaluated over a wide range of strain rates using a high-velocity hydraulic tensile testing machine. Tensile tests were performed at strain rates ranging from $10^{-2}$ to $6 imes10^2;s^{-1}$ using standard ASTM E-8 specimens with an elastic strain gage attached to the sample grip end to measure load, and a plastic strain gage mounted onto the gage section to measure strain. Ultimate tensile strengths (UTS), strain rate sensitivities, and strain hardening behaviors are reported. TRIP steel with high stability retained austenite exhibited higher yield stress, lower UTS and lower strain hardening than TRIP steel with low stability retained austenite.
