- Abstract
- The microstructural evolution with varying intercritical-annealing temperatures of medium-Mn (alpha + gamma) duplex lightweight steels and its effects on tensile properties were investigated in relation to the stability of austenite. The size and volume fraction of austenite grains increased as the annealing temperature increased from 1123 K to 1173 K (850 A degrees C to 900 A degrees C), which corresponded with the thermodynamic calculation data. When the annealing temperature increased further to 1223 K (950 A degrees C), the size and volume fraction were reduced by the formation of athermal alpha'-martensite during the cooling because the thermal stability of austenite deteriorated as a result of the decrease in C and Mn contents. In order to obtain the best combination of strength and ductility by a transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) mechanism, an appropriate mechanical stability of austenite was needed and could be achieved when fine austenite grains (size: 1.4 mu m, volume fraction: 0.26) were homogenously distributed in the ferrite matrix, as in the 1123 K (850 A degrees C)-annealed steel. This best combination was attributed to the requirement of sufficient deformation for TRIP and the formation of many deformation bands at ferrite grains in both austenite and ferri
