Austenite reversion and nano-precipitation during a compact two-step heat treatment of medium-Mn steel containing Cu and Ni

Breaking the strength-ductility paradox of very-low (≤0.05 wt.%)-C medium (3–12 wt.%)-Mn steels (MMnS) has been a hard-wired topic, since in these steels multi-step heat treatments are usually required to obtain austenite for improved ductility and precipitates for higher strength. In this study, a...
