      abstract     = {Heterogeneous materials are extensively used in daily life.
                      As a typical example of heterogeneous materials, advanced
                      high-strength steels (AHSS) normally consist of various
                      constituents with distinct properties to achieve enhanced
                      combination of strength and ductility. However, a
                      comprehensive description of heterogeneities in AHSS is
                      currently absent. In this study, the correlation among the
                      compositional, microstructural and property heterogeneities
                      is explored by employing four commercial grade dual-phase
                      (DP) and complex-phase (CP) steels. A correlative
                      characterization approach combining various electron
                      microscopic techniques and nanoindentation is developed and
                      utilized to characterize these heterogeneities. Based on the
                      results, Mn is alternately enriched and depleted in bands
                      parallel to the rolling direction, while the local C content
                      is closely associated with the spatial phase distribution.
                      The comparison between DP800 and CP800, which were
                      fabricated from the same cast but differently heat treated
                      in the intercritical annealing regime indicates Mn
                      segregation impacts the phase transformation and C
                      distribution throughout the whole manufacturing process. In
                      DP800, the heterogeneity of C distribution was more
                      pronounced and martensite inherited from the Mn banding due
                      to the lower intercritical annealing temperature, which led
                      to the smaller fraction of austenite and intensive C
                      partitioning. On the other hand, CP800, heat treated at
                      higher intercritical annealing temperature, exhibited a more
                      homogenous C distribution and resulted in a more homogenous
                      distribution of martensite. The Mn segregation bands and
                      their impact on martensite morphology and location is
                      reflected by the local hardness distribution. In addition to
                      their varying partitioning in present phases, C and Mn
                      distribute heterogeneously in some individual grains/area,
                      which cause variation in local properties. The hardness
                      distributions of investigated materials were characterized
                      through nanoindentation. The results indicate the
                      conventional hardness difference between phases is not
                      applicable to correlate the heterogeneous microstructure
                      with the stretch-flangeability of the material. Therefore, a
                      new approach combining the Shannon entropy of hardness
                      distribution and spread of local hardness with respect to
                      microstructure is developed, which successfully links the
                      microstructure and hardness heterogeneity with material’s
                      local formability. The present work deepens and expands the
                      current understanding and knowledge of the heterogeneous
                      microstructure and hopefully the derived conclusions provide
                      guideline for future material design by fabricating the
                      heterogeneities of microstructure to achieve desired
                      properties.},
