Based on self–regulated thermal process, in the paper four types of thermomechanical treatments are considered. The first is a high temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTTMT) followed by complete martensitic transformation. The second is a low temperature thermomechanical treatment (LTTMT) plus martensitic transformation. The third is the high and low temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTTMT and LTTMT) plus martensitic transformation. And the last includes HTTMT and LTTMT plus bainitic transformation to obtain super strong and ductile materials. It is shown in the paper that listed technologies are enough intensive to obtain very strong and ductile materials using plain high carbon steels. A detailed consideration of all processes in the paper will motivate engineers to perform mentioned technologies in forging shops to receive super strong and ductile materials without costly alloying that saves energy and alloying elements. The paper discusses the opportunity of preventing martensite transformation to receive fine and nano–bainitic microstructure during intensive quenching. A hypothesis is forwarded that explains possible technology used in 8th and 9th centuries in the Middle East to manufacture Damascus steel. The secret of Damascus steel could be the duration of transient nucleate boiling process needed for preventing martensite transformation during forging of steel.

Keywords: boiling process, thermomechanical treatment, martensitic and bainitic transformation, super strong materials
