The coupled impact and rolling wear behavior of the medium-manganese austenitic steel (Mn8) were studied by comparison with the traditional Hadfield (Mn13) steel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to analyze the wear and hardening mechanisms. The experimental results show that the impact and rolling wear resistance of hot-rolled medium-manganese steel (Mn8) is better than that of high-manganese steel (Mn13) under conditions of low-impact load. The better work hardening sensitivity effectively improves the wear resistance of medium-manganese steel. Not only the coefficient of friction is low, but the mass loss and wear rate of the wear are lower than that of high-manganese steel. After impact and rolling wear, a hardened layer with a thickness of about 600 μm is formed on the wear surface. The highest microhardness of the subsurface layer for Mn8 is about 594 HV and the corresponding Rockwell hardness is about 55 HRC, showing the remarkable work hardening effect. The wear-resistant strengthening mechanism of medium-manganese steel is compound strengthening, including the deformation-induced martensitic transformation, dislocation strengthening, and twin strengthening. In initial stages of impact and rolling abrasion, dislocation strengthening plays a major role. When the deformation reaches a certain extent, the deformation-induced martensitic transformation and twinning strengthening begin to play a leading role.

In Situ Neutron Diffraction

The effects of athermal martensite on yielding behavior and strain partitioning during deformation is explored using in situ neutron diffraction for a 0.14C–7.14Mn medium manganese steel. Utilizing a novel heat treatment, termed double soaking, samples with similar microstructural composition and varied athermal martensite strength and microstructural characteristics, which composed the bulk of the matrix phase, were characterized. It was found that the addition of either as-quenched or tempered athermal martensite led to an improvement in mechanical properties as compared to a ferrite plus austenite medium manganese steel, although the yielding and work hardening behavior were highly dependent upon the martensite characteristics. Specifically, athermal martensite was found to promote continuous yielding and improve the work hardening rate during deformation. The results of this study are particularly relevant when considering the effect of post-processing thermal heat treatments, such as tempering or elevated temperature service environments, on the mechanical properties of medium manganese steels containing athermal martensite.

Medium Manganese Steel

A medium manganese steel with 7.5 wt.% Mn for automobile application was galvanized in a continuous Hot Dip Galvanizing (HDG) simulator under different galvanizing conditions. It was shown that the effects of dew point, annealing temperature and annealing atmosphere on the surface oxidation of steel could be comprehensively evaluated by the consideration of oxygen partial pressure P(O2). Although Mn2SiO4 was a thermodynamic stable phase when P(O2) varied from 10−28 to 10−21 atm, it was difficult to form Mn–Si–O composite oxide because there was no enrichment of silicon on the steel surface. So, this oxide was generally formed in the Fe substrate and had little effect on the galvanizability. With the increase in P(O2) above 10−25 atm, MnO particles in the form of the thermodynamic stable phase became coarser and tended to aggregate, which hindered the formation of a continuous inhibition layer, resulting in the defects of bare spots on the galvanized surface of the steel. When the oxygen partial pressure greater than 10−22 atm, film-like MnO layer was formed on the surface of steel sample, which obviously deteriorated the galvanizability. The galvanizability of the steel can be improved by the regulation of oxygen partial pressure; based on this, the reasonable zinc plating process parameters can be developed.
