Abstract
Impact fracture behavior at low temperatures was investigated in medium manganese steel with bcc-fcc duplex microstructures. The impact energy was above 150 J (−80~20 °C) and the fractography showed dimples for inter-critical annealing at 630 °C (QHA) because of the high retained austenite stability and low martensite dislocation density. The impact energy was from 180 J (20 °C) to 60 J (−80 °C) and the fractography was intergranular for inter-critical annealing at 610 °C (QLA) because of the low stability of RA and carbides precipitated at the prior austenite grain boundaries. The impact energy was below 60 J (−80~20 °C) and the fractography showed cleavage for direct quenching (DQ) because of the high dislocation density of martensite.
