Abstract
AbstractHigh-Mn austenitic steels undergo characteristic plasticity mechanisms of the γ-austenite with an FCC structure, such as extended dislocation glide, mechanical twinning, and mechanical martensitic transformation into ε-martensite with an HCP structure and/or α’-martensite with a BCC/BCT structure. Distortions of polyhedron models are used to describe these plasticity mechanisms. These are the smallest volumetric units occupying the lattices and reflect the crystallographic characteristics of the lattices. The complicated crossing shears are correlated to the fine crystal phases formed at the intersection of the ε-martensite variants. The unidirectionality of the {1 1 1} < 1 1 2 > γ twinning shear provides reversibility to the dislocation motion under cyclic loading. Based on this knowledge, the design concept of high-Mn steels is described considering microstructural, thermodynamic, and crystallographic characteristics.
