The effects of partitioning temperature and time on the strengthening and plasticising mechanism of a one-step quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steel were investigated. The results show that as the partitioning temperature decreased, the lath martensite became finer with higher dislocation density, while the dislocation density and RA amount decreased with increasing partitioning time. Lower quenching temperature and shorter partitioning time are conducive to achieve the high ultimate tensile strength of 1377 MPa and the better total elongation of 12.3% for low-carbon one-step Q&P steels. Meanwhile, the dislocation strengthening caused by martensite and the solid solution strengthening are main strengthening mechanisms of one-step Q&P steels. In addition, a new martensite transformation kinetic model considering the influence of silicon element was established, and simultaneously, the modified CCE model predicted RA fractions more accurately for high-silicon Q&P steels, especially at lower quenching temperature.
