Abstract:

The evolution of plasticizing mechanism and mechanical properties of the Fe-11Mn-4Al-0.2C medium-Mn steel during deformation were compared in this paper. With the increase of strain rate (0.002~200 s-1), the trends of changes in yield strength and tensile strength for the medium-Mn steel are completely opposite. The yield strength increases from 507 MPa to 649 MPa, while the tensile strength decreases from 1 089 MPa to 876 MPa. The plasticizing mechanism of quasi?static loading is dominated by the strong TRIP (transformation?induced plasticity) effect. The plasticizing mechanism is dominated by the weak TRIP effect in the initial stage of dynamic loading, and the TRIP effect disappears and the plasticizing mechanism changes into the temperature rise softening effect and the TWIP (twinning?induced plasticity) effect in the later stage of dynamic loading. The dislocation motion rate in the initial stage of dynamic loading is much higher than that of quasi?static loading, which results in the higher yield strength of dynamic loading than that of quasi?static loading. With the increase of strain, the cumulative adiabatic temperature rise inhibits the martensitic transformation and reduces the work?hardening capacity under dynamic loading, while the high hardness martensite is produced continuously under quasi?static loading, which results in the tensile strength of quasi?static loading higher than that of dynamic loading.
