Abstract
Nonequilibrium segregation kinetics of alloying elements and a ductile-brittle-ductile transition behavior have been investigated in an Fe-8.4Mn-7.4Ni-l.7Ti alloy. The alloy experienced a ductilebrittle-ductile (DBD) transition during isothermal aging. In the brittle region, the alloy showed a decrease in intergranular fracture strength and a subsequent increase with aging time. This is due to the segregation of titanium to the grain boundaries and its desegregation into the matrix. The intergranular fracture strength was higher on the zero tensile elongation finish curve than on the start curve. This is because the grain-boundary segregation level of titanium is relatively lower on the finish curve. The lowest intergranular fracture strength increased with increasing aging temperature, which was attributed to a lower grain-boundary segregation level of titanium at higher temperature. Manganese caused an overall reduction in intergranular fracture strength and, as a result, the delayed occurrence of the zero tensile elongation (ZTE) finish curve in a temperature and log-time plot.
