Influence of additional elements (Mo, Nb, Ta and B) on the mechanical properties of high-manganese dual-phase steels

The influence of a small amount of alloying elements such as Mo, Nb, Ta and boron to the 3 wt.% Mn ferritic dual-phase steels was examined. These elements give a microstructure in which the fine martensite phase is well dispersed in the ferrite matrix, which leads to a remarkable reinforcement effec...

Description
Summary:The influence of a small amount of alloying elements such as Mo, Nb, Ta and boron to the 3 wt.% Mn ferritic dual-phase steels was examined. These elements give a microstructure in which the fine martensite phase is well dispersed in the ferrite matrix, which leads to a remarkable reinforcement effect on mechanical properties. It is possible to obtain a tensile strength, sigma sub R , approaching 700 MPa with a fracture elongation, A sub R , of > 40%, or sigma sub R approx 1000 MPa with A sub R = plus/minus 20% with relatively simple heat treatment. 14 ref.--AA
