Precipitation Processes in High-Manganese Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The highly interesting properties of high manganese steels can be further improved by microalloying. The introduction of carbon-nitride precipitates improves the yield strength and the microstructural control during the production process. Due to the high manganese content in these austenitic steels significant changes in the precipitation behaviour have to be expected in comparison to conventional carbon-manganese steels. However, although crucial for steel design, this has not been systematically described before. Preliminary results showing the effect of Nb and V are presented. Namely the softening behaviour is related to the precipitation state. In summary this allows describing the precipitation-time-temperature evolution and provides the necessary background for the alloy and process design.
