A Fe-0.15C-5Mn-0.5Si-0.05Nb medium Mn steel annealed at 660℃ and 685℃ both exhibited inhomogeneous deformation with Lüders extremely high work hardening rates, but different strain behavior. In-situ neutron diffraction measurements during tensile test were performed to investigate changes in the phase stresses contributed strength of constituent phases, crystal orientation austenite. The role e...
