Abstract

The manganese concentration of steels which rely on transformation-induced plasticity is generally less than 2 wt pct. Recent work has highlighted the potential for strong and ductile alloys containing some 6 wt pct of manganese, but with aluminum additions in order to permit heat treatments which are amenable to rapid production. However, large concentrations of aluminum also cause difficulties during continuous casting. Alloy design calculations have been carried out in an effort to balance these conflicting requirements, while maintaining the amount of retained austenite and transformation kinetics. The results indicate that it is possible by adjusting the carbon and manganese concentrations to reduce the aluminum concentration, without compromising the mechanical properties or transformation kinetics. The deformation-induced transformation of retained austenite is explained quantitatively, for a range of alloys, in terms of a driving force which takes into account the very fine state of the retained austenite.
