| Popis: | An intercritical annealing process was applied to a medium manganese steel plate (Fe-0.01C-5.3Mn-1.53Si) after the thermo-mechanical controlled processing (TMCP) and ultrafast cooling (UFC). The microstructures were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The retained austenite was measured by XRD and mechanical properties were measured by uniaxial tensile and impact tests. The influence of different annealing temperature was compared and the relationship between microstructures and mechanical properties was investigated. Results showed that the microstructures of the medium manganese steel plate were characterized by ultrafine grained lath-like ferrite and retained austenite and the excellent mechanical properties could be obtained at the annealing temperature of 640°C for 5 h. The volume fraction of the retained austenite reached up to 21%, which could significantly increase the elongation compared with the traditional steel plate. The mechanical property results revealed that the steel possessed adequate ultimate tensile strength of 865MPa and excellent impact energy of 121J (-20°C). The outstanding combination of strength and toughness indicates that the steel has a bright application prospect. |
