Achieving a significant enhancement of strength in Fe-24Mn-8Al-1C austenitic lightweight steels by aging treatment
Achieving an excellent combination of strength and ductility is a long-term topic for high strength steels, which is also important for the newly emerged austenitic lightweight steels. Here, we report a hetero-structured Fe-24Mn-8Al-1C austenitic lightweight steel with heterogeneous grain size. This type of heterogeneous microstructure was intentionally introduced into the lightweight steel through a short time annealing at 750 °C for 5 min. After short time aging treatment, we achieved a dramatic improvement (about 230 MPa) of yield strength in the aged hetero-structured samples, which is almost 5 times higher than the conventional aged homogeneous samples (about 50 MPa). In addition, the work hardening ability of the hetero-structured samples exhibits no loss after aging treatment. Eventually, a good combination of tensile strength (1135 MPa) and elongation (36 %) was achieved in the investigated hetero-structured samples. The key point of this work is utilizing κ carbides to amplify the incompatibility between different zones of heterogeneous microstructures. The amplified incompatibility within the microstructures enhanced the hetero deformation induced (HDI) hardening which can dramatically strengthen the mechanical properties.
