Microstructure has been extensively studied • Microstructure understood: most aspects can be calculated • Mechanical properties cannot be calculated • Mechanical properties badly related to microstructure

Summary • Assistance from TRIP is less than 1.4% of total strain • Emphasis could be shifted from retained austenite to studies of composite deformation • Low silicon steels can perform well (Jacques)
