- Abstract
The effect of V addition and inter-critical temperature quenching on the microstructure and properties of medium manganese steel were studied. As the quenching temperature of V-free medium manganese steel increased from 850 ℃ to 900 ℃, the tensile strength of the steel increased from 980 MPa to 1220 MPa and the total elongation decreased from 30% to 15%. When the quenching temperature was increased to 950 ℃, the tensile strength did not increase significantly, but the total elongation decreased to about 9.9%, which was due to the presence of coarse ferrite. The tensile strength of medium manganese steel quenched at 950 ℃ could reach 1500 MPa and the total elongation could reach 10.7% by V microalloying. Coarse banded ferrite in V-containing steel was greatly reduced and the morphology and distribution of ferrite between martensite in V-containing steel were optimized, which further improved the tensile strength of the medium-manganese steel without losing plasticity.
