In the paper, the influence of heat treatment parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of high manganese type X57MnAl27-5 austenitic steel was investigated. The as-forged bar with diameter of 15 mm were underwent a saturation process at six different temperatures. The microstructural changes of austenite and the influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties were conside...

SEPTEMBER 2006 -s 200 ABSTRACT. The relationship between alloying content, microstructure, and properties has been clarified for highstrength steel weld metals with 7 to 9 wt-% nickel. Neural network modeling suggested that manganese reductions and nickel additions in a controlled manner with respect to manganese lead to increased impact toughness. Carbon additions were predicted to enhance yie...

The relationship between alloying content, microstructure and properties has been studied for high strength steel weld metals with 7 to 9 wt. % nickel. Neural network modelling suggested that manganese reductions lead to large impact toughness increases and that nickel must be added in a controlled manner with respect to manganese in order toincrease impact toughness. Carbon additions were pred...

High-manganese austenitic steel has been developed as a new cryogenic for application in liquified natural gas (LNG) storage and fuel tanks, with improved fracture toughness safety at temperatures. Generally, the decreases lower temperatures; therefore, requires high to prevent unstable fractures. This study conducted ductile tests 30-mm-thick high-manganese evaluated its applicability LNG tank...

In the rail industry, sections of high strength Manganese steel are employed at critical locations in railroad networks. Ultrasonic inspections of Manganese steel microstructures are difficult to inspect with conventional means, as the propagation medium is highly attenuative, coarse-grained, anisotropic and nonhomogeneous in nature. Current in-service inspection methods are ineffective while p...

Equipment of ŽĎAS, a. s. electric steel plant enables to make commercial high-grade steels with guaranteed high internal purity. Making of super clean steels means essential enhancement in qualitative requirements that requests new technological elements as well as operative management of steel making and treatment process. In order to verify the possibility to make these steels under ŽĎAS, a.s...

In this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with TRIP/TWIP or fully TWIP characteristics are studied. High strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. All the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). Bu...
