The Effect of High Strain Rate on Properties and Microstructure of the Fully Austenitic High Mn Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper, results of impact bending tests of a high-manganese steel of X30MnAlSi26-4-3 grade are presented. The tests were carried out using a flywheel machine, suitable for dynamic tensile tests and impact bending tests in the range of linear velocity of the forcing element from 5 ÷ 40 m/s. The obtained test results were compared with the results of impact resistance of the studied steel determined using Charpy machine. Structural investigations were carried out using light microscope and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Creating a mechanical twins at different strain rates was analyzed. The surfaces of fractures formed in the break point during bending tests were analyzed, and they indicate a presence of mixed transcrystalline fractures with a predominance of plastic fractures. Substructure studies revealed the presence of mechanical twinning induced in a high strain rate for the X30MnAlSi26-4-3 steel.
