Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The microstructure of Fe-Mn-Al-C alloys is largely influenced by heat treatment, which leads to different mechanical properties. The current work investigated the microstructure evolution in the austenite zone in a low density steel Fe-10Mn-5.5Al-0.25C at the heat treatment temperature range of 850 degrees C-1000 degrees C. The microstructure features have been characterized by SEM, TEM. The results indicate that the soaking temperature has great influence on the room-temperature mechanical properties, even promotes austenite-to-martensite transformation at 1000 degrees C heat treatment. The increased temperature and austenite zone fraction degrade the stability of austenite, whilst the small B2 phase shows no detrimental effect on mechanical properties. The product of tensile strength and elongation increases from 28 to 50 GPa% is due to multiple deformation mechanisms with austenite zone fraction increased. And the transformed martensite at 1000 degrees C significantly decreases the mechanical properties. So, the improved mechanical properties maybe attributed to the coordination function of dislocations pileup and cut through the B2 phase, and strengthened TWIP effect as heat treatment temperature below 1000 degrees C.
