The flow stress of Hadfield steel is attributed to lattice friction, dynamic strain aging (DSA), mechanical twinning, and forest hardening. However, it has not been clarified yet which mechanism quantitatively contributes most the work Here, an austenitic containing 1.1 wt.% C 12.5 Mn was studied, tensile tests at a rate 1 s−1 were performed neglect DSA effect. friction estimated by Hall–Petch ...
