Effect of deformation twinning on the evolution of texture in TWIP steels during cold-rolling

Texture evolution of high-manganese twining-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels (Fe-16Mn-0.6C) during cold-rolling is studied by means of quantitative orientation distribution function (ODF)analysis.Thickness reductions of the specimens during cold-rolling are 10%,20%,30%,50% and 65%,respectively.Evolution of texture is of the Brass type,which is typical for low-stacking fault energy (SFE) materials.The contribution of deformation twinning to the development of texture is clearly illustrated by the monotonic increase of the twinned Cu component.In the present study,the deformation twinning was identified as significantly contributing to deformation up to the maximum reduction applied.These results are useful for the prediction and control of the texture in TWIP steels.     

Study on the Strain Hardening Behaviors of TWIP/TRIP Steels

Due to the complex coupling of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP), transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), and dislocation glide in TWIP/TRIP steels, it is difficult as well as essential to build a comprehensive strain hardening model to describe the interactions between different deformation mechanisms (i.e., deformation twinning, martensitic transformation, and dislocation glide) and the resulted strain hardening behaviors. To address this issue, a micromechanical model is established in this paper to predict the deformation process of TWIP/TRIP steels considering both TWIP and TRIP effects. In the proposed model, the generation of deformation twinning and martensitic transformation is controlled by the stacking fault energy (SFE) of the material. In the thermodynamic calculation of SFE, deformation temperature, chemical compositions, microstrain, and temperature rise during deformation are taken into account. Varied by experimental results, the developed model can predict the stress–strain response and strain hardening behaviors of TWIP/TRIP steels precisely. In addition, the improved strength and enhanced strain hardening in Fe-Mn-C TWIP/TRIP steels due to the increased carbon content is also analyzed, which consists with literature.     

Constitutive Modeling of the Stacking Fault Energy-Dependent Deformation Behavior of Fe-Mn-C-(Al) TWIP Steels

The present article proposes a constitutive model that includes the stacking fault energy (SFE)-dependence of the deformation behavior of Fe-Mn-C-(Al) TWIP steels. The different kinetics of the SFE-dependent strain hardening of twinned and twin-free grains are accounted for. The high flow stress of TWIP steels investigated is attributed to the combined effect of a large fraction of twinned grains and a low dynamic recovery rate—both effects being associated with its lowest SFE.     

Enhanced Strength and Ductility in an Ultrafine-Grained Fe-22Mn-0.6C Austenitic Steel Having Fully Recrystallized Structure

Fe-22 wt pct Mn-0.6 wt pct C twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel having fully recrystallized ultrafine-grained structure was obtained through a simple thermomechanical process repeating cold rolling and annealing. The minimum average grain size of 550 nm was successfully obtained. The ultrafine-grained steel exhibited good mechanical properties superior to those previously reported in Fe-Mn-Al-Si TWIP steels, and the origin was discussed based on the difference of stacking fault energies.

ϡ��Ԫ��Ce��TWIP�ֵ���ƣ����Ϊ��Ӱ��

The low cycle fatigue behaviors of Fe- Mn- C TWIP steels with different Ce contents were studied. The research was done with a total strain amplitude of ??0. 8% during cyclic loading. Microstructure evolutions of TWIP steels after fatigue fracture were observed by SEM and TEM. The experimental results indicate that TWIP steels with Ce and without Ce have the same characteristics of cyclic hardening, cyclic saturating, cyclic softening and final failure. The density of inclusions in the TWIP steel is increased by the addition of rare earth element Ce, which results in the absorption capability of fatigue energy of the TWIP steel is reduced. Therefore, Ce plays a negative role in deformation fatigue of TWIP steel.     

Fe-Mn-Si-Al系和Fe-Mn-C系TWIP钢加工硬化行为

研究了在不同应变量下Fe-Mn-Si-Al系和Fe-Mn-C系孪晶诱导塑性(TWIP)钢的力学性能以及微观组织,分析了TWIP效应在两种不同系列TWIP钢中发挥的作用,阐明了TWIP钢的强化机制.两种系列的TWIP钢都具有高加工硬化能力,但层错能较低的Fe-Mn-C系TWIP钢加工硬化能力更强.两种系列的TWIP钢加工硬化表现为多加工硬化指数行为,这是由多种强化机理在不同阶段起主导作用的结果.微观组织形态与加工硬化强度之间存在着较强的关联性.位错的增殖和形变孪晶的产生对两个系列TWIP钢硬化曲线形态有着明显的影响.在高应变阶段,Fe-Mn-C系TWIP钢大量的第一位向形变孪晶T1和第二位向形变孪晶T2,以及附着在孪晶界旁的高密度位错区域是造成其具有高加工硬化能力的原因,而Fe-Mn-Si-Al系TWIP钢细密的第一位向形变条纹和孪晶片层间的位错是其高加工硬化原因,且其微观组织更为均匀细致.      

Effects of Al on Microstructure and High-Temperature Wear Properties of Austenitic Heat-Resistant Steel

 Microstructure and high-temperature dry sliding wear at 600 ℃ in ambient air of austenitic heat-resistant steel ZG40Cr25Ni20 with different contents (mass percent) of Al (0 to 710%) have been investigated. The results show that microstructures of 468% and 710% Al addition content consist of the matrix and reinforcement of intermetallic compound γ′ and carbide, while microstructures of ZG40Cr25Ni20 without Al and with Al of 168% are absent of γ′. Higher wear resistance than the original ZG40Cr25Ni20 alloy is achieved in alloys with higher content of Al under the same high-temperature wear test condition. The wear rates of Fe-25Cr-20Ni-710Al and Fe-25Cr-20Ni-468Al are only 2083% and 4583% of that of Fe-25Cr-20Ni, respectively. Heat-resistant steels with higher contents of Al (472% and 710%) have higher hardness than those with lower contents of Al (168% and 0). Wear mechanisms of ZG40Cr25Ni20 are considered as severe plough plastic deformation and slight adhesive. However, wear mechanisms of Fe-25Cr-20Ni-468Al are light micro-cutting and oxidation-wear, while that of Fe-25Cr-20Ni-710Al are severe adhesive transfer and oxidation-wear.     

Serrated Flow and Dynamic Strain Aging in Fe-Mn-C TWIP Steel

The tensile behavior, serrated flow, and dynamic strain aging of Fe-(20 to 24)Mn-(0.4 to 0.6)C twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel have been investigated. A mathematical approach to analyze the DSA and PLC band parameters has been developed. For Fe-(20 to 24)Mn-(0.4 to 0.6)C TWIP steel with a theoretical ordering index (TOI) between 0.1 and 0.3, DSA can occur at the very beginning of plastic deformation and provide serrations during work hardening, while for TOI less than 0.1 the occurrence of DSA is delayed and twinning-dominant work hardening remains relatively smooth. The critical strain for the onset of DSA and PLC bands in Fe-Mn-C TWIP steels decreases as C content increases, while the numbers of serrations and bands increase. As Mn content increases, the critical strain for DSA and PLC band varies irregularly, but the numbers of serrations and bands increase. For Fe-(20 to 24)Mn-(0.4 to 0.6)C TWIP steel with grain size of about 10 to 20 μm, the twinning-induced work hardening rate is about 2.5 to 3.0 GPa, while the DSA-dominant hardening rate is about 2.0 GPa on average. With increasing engineering strain from 0.01 to 0.55 at an applied strain rate of 0.001s^?1, the cycle time for PLC bands in Fe-Mn-C TWIP steel increases from 6.5 to 162 seconds, while the band velocity decreases from 4.5 to 0.5 mm s^?1, and the band strain increases from 0.005 to 0.08. Increasing applied strain rate leads to a linear increase of band velocity despite composition differences. In addition, the influence of the Mn and C content on the tensile properties of Fe-Mn-C TWIP steel has been also studied. As C content increases, the yield strength and tensile strength of Fe-Mn-C TWIP steel increase, but the total elongation variation against C content is dependent on Mn content. As Mn content increases, the yield strength and tensile strength decrease, while the total elongation increases, despite C content. Taking both tensile properties and serrated flow behavior into consideration, Fe-22Mn-0.4C TWIP steel shows excellent mechanical performance with a high product of tensile strength and total elongation and a slightly serrated stress–strain response. To suppress the negative effect of DSA in Fe-Mn-C TWIP steels on the stability of tensile behavior, a TOI lower than 0.1 is strongly suggested.     

A New Series of Mo-free 215Cr-35Ni-xW-02N Economical Duplex Stainless Steels

A new series of economical Mo-free duplex stainless steels 21.5Cr-3.5Ni-xW-0.2N(x=1.8-3.0,mass%) have been developed.The effects of W on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance were investigated,and the microstructures were analyzed by optical microscopy,X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction.The designed steels have a balanced ferrite-austenite relation and are free of sigma phase after solution treatment at 750-1 300℃for 30min followed by water-quenching,whereas a small number of Cr23 C6 precipitates were found after solution treatment at 750℃.After solution treatment at 1 050℃,the steel with 1.8%(mass percent)W exhibits the highest room temperature tensile strength due to the strongest work hardening effect, while the steel with 3.0%(mass percent)W exhibits the highest fracture elongation owing to the transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)effect.The ductile-brittle transition(DBT)and martensite transformation are respectively found in the ferrite and austenite,which deteriorates the impact properties of the steels with the increase of W content.The corrosion resistance of the designed steels is improved with the increase of W content.The pitting resistance of austenite is obviously better than that of ferrite for the designed alloys.Among the designed steels,the steel with 1.8%(mass percent)W is found to be an optimum steel with excellent comprehensive properties and lowest production cost.     

铝、铜、铬合金元素对Fe 21Mn 04C TWIP/TRIP钢层错能和力学性能的影响

  参考文献建立了Fe Mn C合金层错能的热力学模型,用模型计算了铝、铜、铬元素对Fe 21Mn 04C合金层错能的影响规律;在Fe 21Mn 04C合金中添加合金元素,研究其对层错能的影响。研究结果表明：铝和铜增加合金的层错能,而铬则降低合金的层错能;当层错能低于107mJ/m2时,Fe 21Mn 04C合金相组成为γ+ε,当层错能为10~1902mJ/m2时,合金的相组成为γ+ε+a,当层错能高于1902mJ/m2时,合金的相组成为单相的γ;层错能的变化和添加了合金元素铝、铜、铬的Fe 21Mn 04C合金性能变化没有相一致的关系,说明影响Fe 21Mn 04C合金力学性能的因素很多,需要进一步的研究。     

Partial Inverse Grain Size Dependence of Strength in High Mn Steels Microalloyed With Nb

 Two steels without and with Nb addition were chosen to investigate the effects of Nb on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of Fe-Mn-Al-Si steels. The results revealed that Nb refined the grains markedly and both TRIP and TWIP effects occurred during deformation process. The Nb containing steel possesses higher yield strength and much lower tensile strength, the latter being explained by the suppression of TRIP effect due to the increase of stacking fault energy. This indicates grain refining is secondary for strengthening of steels when TRIP or TWIP effect exists during the deformation of low carbon and high Mn steels.     

Derivation and Variation in Composition-Dependent Stacking Fault Energy Maps Based on Subregular Solution Model in High-Manganese Steels

A subregular solution thermodynamic model was used to calculate the stacking fault energies (SFEs) of high-manganese (10 to 35 wt pct) steels with carbon contents of 0 to 1.2 wt pct. Based on these calculations, composition-dependent diagrams were developed showing the regions of different SFE values for the mentioned composition range. These diagrams were called SFE maps. In addition, variations in the SFE maps were observed through increasing the temperature, aluminum content, and austenite grain size. These changes were seen either as an increasing trend of SFE caused by raising the temperature and aluminum content, or as a decreasing behavior caused by increasing the grain size. The SFE value of 20 mJ/m² within these diagrams was introduced as the upper limit for the strain-induced martensite formation. The variations in this limit caused by increasing the temperature and aluminum content were mathematically evaluated to find out the minimum amount of manganese that was required to avoid the martensitic transformation. By introducing the isocarbon and isomanganese diagrams of the SFE, it was seen that both temperature and aluminum had a greater effect on the SFE when added to the steels with the lower manganese contents. Moreover, by adding more aluminum to the composition of the high-manganese steels, its influence on the SFE decreased continuously.     

汽车用高锰TWIP钢的研究现状

高锰TWIP钢的塑性机制与其堆垛层错能有关。采用试验法和热力学计算法确定TWIP钢层错能的研究结果存在差异,TWIP效应与层错能的对应关系也未达成一致。高锰TWIP钢凝固温区宽,凝固时容易形成疏松、偏析等铸态缺陷。铸态TWIP钢高温时的断面收缩率均低于40%,可能导致连铸弯矫时开裂。水平连铸和双辊薄带连铸在TWIP钢生产上具有突出优势。TWIP钢的热轧温度区间窄,与其固相线温度低和高温塑性差有关。冷轧后连续退火温度和退火时间也尚在摸索之中。Fe-Mn-Si-Al系TWIP钢的强化机制以孪晶形成动态细化晶粒为主,而Fe-Mn-C-(-Al)系TWIP钢中动态应变时效可能是主导作用。TWIP钢的延迟断裂敏感性可通过Al合金化来改善,其主要机制是在试样表层下形成的α-Al2O3层阻止氢的渗入。     

铝含量对TWIP钢中夹杂物特征及AlN析出行为的影响

采用扫描电镜、X射线能谱仪以及扫描电镜配置的夹杂物自动扫描统计软件(INCAFeature)表征了Fe-Mn-C(-Al)系TWIP钢中夹杂物的成分、形貌和数量,考察了Al质量分数在0.002%~1.590%的四种TWIP钢中夹杂物的特征和Al含量对AlN析出行为的影响.并在此基础上,采用了适合TWIP钢中高锰高铝特点的热力学参数对AlN夹杂物进行了系统的热力学分析.研究表明,在含有相似N质量分数(0.0078%~0.0100%)的TWIP钢中,当钢中Al质量分数升高至0.75%时,AlN夹杂物开始在钢中析出,并在MnS(Se)-Al₂ O₃上局部析出形成MnS(Se)-Al₂ O₃-AlN复合夹杂;当Al质量分数升高至1.07%时,热力学计算表明AlN已经可以在TWIP钢液相中形成,经不断长大后在MnS(Se)夹杂物表面局部析出形成MnS(Se)-AlN复合夹杂物;在Al质量分数为1.59%的TWIP钢中,AlN的平衡析出温度比其液相线温度高出42℃,在液相中形成的AlN可以作为异质核心,MnS(Se)夹杂在其表面包裹形成MnS(Se)-AlN复合夹杂物.另外,在Fe-18.21% Mn-0.64% C-1.59% Al体系的TWIP钢中,AlN在液相中析出所需的最低氮的质量分数仅为0.0043%.因此,在TWIP钢的冶炼过程中,应尽可能的降低钢中的氮含量,避免生成过量的AlN夹杂.      

On the Stacking Fault Energy of Fe-18 Pct Mn-0.6 Pct C-1.5 Pct Al Twinning-Induced Plasticity Steel

The stacking fault energy (SFE) of Fe-18 pct Mn-0.6 pct C-1.5 pct Al twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel was measured using weak-beam dark-field imaging of dissociated dislocations observed in transmission electron microscopy. The SFE was found to be 30 mJ/m². A relatively wide scatter was observed in the experimentally measured partial dislocation separation of screw dislocations. It is argued that the anomalously wide partial dislocation separation is due to the interaction of point-defect pairs involving interstitial C atoms with the strain field of the partial dislocations. Internal friction (IF) experiments were carried out to detect the presence of point-defect pairs that might affect the dislocation separation, and a clear Finkelshtein–Rosin (FR) peak related to point-defect pairs involving interstitial C atoms was observed in the IF spectrum.     

Development and characterization of high strength impact resistant Fe-Mn-(Al-, Si) TRIP/TWIP steels

Iron manganese steels with Mn mass contents of 15 to 30 % exhibit microstructural related superior ductility and extraordinary strengthening behaviour during plastic deformation, which strongly depends on the Mn content. This influences the austenite stability and stacking fault energy γ_fcc and shows a great impact on the microstructure to be developed under certain stress state or during severe plastic deformation. At medium Mn mass contents (15 to 20 %) the martensitic γ-ε-ά phase transformation plays an important role in the deformation mechanisms of the TRIP effect in addition to dislocation glide. With Increasing Mn mass content large elongation is favoured by intensive twinning formation. The mechanical properties of plain iron manganese alloys are strongly influenced by the alloying elements, Al and Si. Alloying with Al Increases the stacking fault energy and therefore strongly suppresses the martensitic γ-ε transformation, while Si sustains the γ-ε transformation by decreasing the stacking fault energy γ_fcc. The γ-ε phase transformation takes place in Fe-Mn-X alloys with γ_fcc ≤ 20 mJm⁻². The developed light weight high manganese TRIP and TWIP (twinning induced plasticity) steels exhibit high ultimate tensile strength (600 to 1100 MPa) and extremely large elongation of 60 to 95 % even at high strain rates of έ = 10³ s⁻¹. Particularly due to the advanced specific energy absorption of TRIP and TWIP steels compared to conventional deep drawing steels high dynamic tensile and compression tests were carried out in order to investigate the change in the microstructure under near crash conditions. Tensile and compression tests of iron manganese alloys with varying Mn content were performed at different temperatures and strain rates. The resulting formation of γ twins, ά- and ε martensite by plastic deformation was analysed by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The deep drawing and stretch forming behaviour at varying deformation rates were determined by performing cupping tests and digitalised stress-strain-analysis.
