Elevated Temperature Tensile Behavior of a Nb-Mo Microalloyed Medium Mn Alloy under Quasistatic Loads

The elevated temperature tensile behavior of a Nb-Mo microalloyed medium steel was investigated over the −50 to 150 °C temperature range. The ultimate tensile strength was significantly reduced with increasing deformation temperature, but both YS (yield strength) and EI (total elongation) values cha...

description The elevated temperature tensile behavior of a Nb-Mo microalloyed medium steel was investigated over the −50 to 150 °C temperature range. The ultimate tensile strength was significantly reduced with increasing deformation temperature, but both YS (yield strength) and EI (total elongation) values changed slightly. The best product of UTS (ultimate tensile strength) and EI (~59.5 GPa·%) can be achieved at the deformation temperature of 50 °C, implying an excellent combination of strength and ductility. Furthermore, the change in strain hardening rate as a function of deformation temperature was further explained by the following two aspects: the dependence of mechanical stability of retained austenite on deformation temperature as well as the dependence of deformation mechanism on deformation temperature. Theoretical models and experimental observations demonstrate that the dominant deformation mechanism of the present medium Mn steel changed from the single transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect at −50 to 50 °C to the multiple TRIP + TWIP (twinning-induced plasticity) effect at 50–150 °C.
