Abstract
High Mn austenitic steels are a class of materials for cryogenic applications. Previous studies on Fe-34.5Mn-0.04C austenitic steels have shown that refining grain size can suppress the formation of deformation-induced ε and α’ martensite and improve the tensile strength and ductility at temperatures down to 123 K. Here we report a new observation of simultaneous increase of strength and ductility at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in a fine grained Fe-30Mn-0.11C (wt. %) steel where the addition of 0.11%C stabilizes the austenite. This improvement is attributed to complete suppression of martensitic transformation and enhanced occurrence of deformation twinning.
