Twip Steels

The low yield strength (~300 MPa) of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels greatly limits their structural applications in the industrial field. Conventional strengthening mechanisms usually cause an enhancement of yield strength but also a severe loss of ductility. In this research, gradient substructures were introduced in the Fe-22Mn-0.6C TWIP steels by different pre-torsional deformation in order to overcome the above limitations. The substructure evolution, mechanical properties, and their origins in gradient-substructured (GS) TWIP steels were measured and compared by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), monotonous and loading-unloading-reloading (LUR) tensile tests. It was found that a simple torsional treatment could prepare gradient twins and dislocations in coarse-grained TWIP steel samples depending on torsional strain. The uniaxial tensile tests indicated that a superior combination of high yield strength, high ultimate strength, and considerable ductility was simultaneously obtained in the GS samples. The high yield strength and high ultimate tensile strength were attributed to synergetic strengthening mechanisms, viz., dislocation strengthening, due to the accumulation of high density of dislocations, and very high back stress strengthening due to gradient substructure distribution, which was accommodated through pile-ups of extra geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) across the sample-scale. Additionally, high ductility originated from gradient substructure-induced back stress hardening. The present study is also beneficial to the design efforts of high strength and high ductility of other heterogeneous-structured TWIP alloy systems.

The nanostructure was obtained in a duplex stainless steel (DSS) by means of equal channel angular pressing. The mechanical properties were characterized by uniaxial tensile tests, while the microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was shown that the yield strength in a deformed nanostructure increased significantly from 402 MPa to 1461 MPa as compared to its coarse-grained counterpart. In contrast, the uniform elongation decreased significant to only 2% together with elongation to failure of 9.8%, much lower than those of 25.4% and 42.6%. After annealing at 700°C for 10 minute, however, uniform elongation increases to 5.3% with the yield strength of 1200 MPa. TEM observation exhibited that deformation twins prevail in the austenite phase whereas the dislocations of high density present in ferrite. The plastic behavior in both phases was analyzed based on the deformation twinning and the presence of dislocation. Finally, the effect of the microstructure on mechanical properties was discussed.
