On the Mn–C Short-Range Ordering in a High-Strength High-Ductility Steel: Small Angle Neutron Scattering and Ab Initio Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of Mn–C short-range ordering (SRO) has a great influence on the mechanical properties of high-Mn steels. In the present work, the formation of Mn–C SRO during recrystallization of an X60Mn18 steel was investigated by means of a combined study employing small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and ab initio ground-state energy calculations based on density-functional theory. The SANS measurements prove the presence of Mn–C SRO in the recrystallization annealed X60Mn18 steel and indicate the evolution of the SRO during recrystallization. The results show that with the increase in annealing time, the mean size of the Mn–C SRO decreases, whereas the number density increases. The ab initio calculations well describe the energetically favored condition of Mn–C SRO and provide the theoretical explanation of the clustering formation and evolution in the X60Mn18 steel. The stress-strain curve of the X60Mn18 steel exhibits a high strain-hardening rate and the plastic deformation is characterized with a series of serrations during a uniaxial tensile test. In the end, the correlation between Mn–C SRO and the serrated flow of high-Mn steels is further discussed.

Mechanical Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Strength Concrete with Graded Fibers
Brittleness, which was the inherent weakness in High Strength Concrete (HSC), can be avoided by reinforcing the concrete with discontinuous fibers. Reinforcing HSC with more than one fiber is advantageous in an overall improvement of the mechanical performance of the composite. In this experimental study, Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Strength Concrete (HyFR-HSC) mixes were formed by blending si...

In recent years, great attention has been paid to the development of high manganese austenitic TWIP steels exhibiting high tensile strength and exceptional total elongation. Due to low stacking fault energy (SFE), cross slip becomes more difficult in these steels and mechanical twinning is then the favored deformation mode besides dislocation gliding. Chemical composition along with processing ...
