Abstract
In the present work, the dynamic recrystallization and microstructural evolution of the family of advanced high-strength steels Fe18MnxAl0.74C are studied, varying the aluminum content in 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt pct subjected to hot-forging treatments through three consecutive heating-deformation cycles. For characterization, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer absorption spectroscopy (MAS), and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) were used. It was determined that for the steels under study, dynamic recrystallization occurs due to strain-induced boundary migration (SIBM) and is strongly influenced by the aluminum content of the alloy and its stacking failure energy (SFE), increasing that the aluminum content will generate greater nucleation sites, favoring the refinement of grains in the material and achieving a crystalline structure of random crystallographic orientation. The results are discussed throughout the article, allowing us to determine potential processing routes for advanced high-strength steels with predominantly plastic deformation mechanisms such as transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP), and microband-induced plasticity (MBIP).
