| Sumario: | The research presented in this paper is part of a larger project concerning deformation behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties of high-manganese steels with different chemical compositions and processed under various conditions. The current investigation deals with the development of microstructure and crystallographic texture of Fe-21.2Mn-2.73Al-2.99Si steel deformed in tension until fracture at ambient temperature. The deformation process of the examined steel turned out to be complex and included not only dislocation slip and twinning but also strain induced phase transformations (γ → ε) and (γ → α′). The formation of ε-martensite with hexagonal structure was observed within the microstructure of the steel starting from the range of lower strains. With increasing deformation degree, the α′-martensite showing a cubic structure gradually began to form. Attempts have been made to explain the circumstances or conditions for the occurrence of the deformation mechanisms mentioned above and their impact on the mechanical properties. The obtained results indicate that the strength and plastic properties of the steel substantially exceed those of plain carbon steels. Since both, mechanical twinning and the strain-induced phase transformations took place during deformation, it seems that both types of deformation mechanisms contributed to an increase in the mechanical properties of the examined manganese steel. |
