被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:48.82(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)A unique impact fracture behavior is found in a high-Mn austenitic steel (24Mn-4Cr-0.4C-0.3Cu) in this work. The steel exhibits concurrent twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect and the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. By analyzing the load-deflection curves recorded during Charpy impact testing, the resistance to crack initiation and propagation is quantified from the absorbed energy. The high-Mn steel demonstrates good resistance to crack initiation at 273 K and 77 K. However, as the temperature decreases from 273 K to 77 K, there is an accelerated transition from stable crack growth to unstable crack growth during impact, resulting in the deterioration of resistance to crack propagation. The plastic deformation of the impact-tested samples, especially in the region close to the crack-path profile was quantitatively analyzed using neutron Bragg-edge transmission (BET) imaging. The deformation zones, divided by using the width of the 200 Bragg edge, exhibit good agreement with the impact absorbed energy characteristics obtained from dynamic load-deflection curves. Moreover, the unstable growth transition point was roughly determined on the impact-tested sample. Then, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique is employed to examine the deformation microstructure along the crack-path in the impact-tested samples. The results revealed the dual roles of TRIP effect in impact toughness of the high-Mn steel. On one hand, the TRIP effect plays a positive role in improving resistance to crack initiation and propagation. On the other hand, the excessive accumulation of brittle /'-martensite caused by the enhanced TRIP effect at 77 K leads to quasi-cleavage fracture, thereby playing a negative role. Finally, we discussed the prominent toughening mechanisms associated with the TWIP and TRIP effects, which greatly impact the impact fracture behavior.

For achieving the carbon neutralization through reducing the greenhouse gas emission, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been widely employed as the fuel for electric power plants. As economical cryogenic steel for LNG transport and storage, high-Mn steels have been paid much attention for a high possibility to replace expensive high-Ni martensite steels and high Ni-Cr austenite steels. Its superior cryogenic toughness is thought mostly due to the high thermal stability of austenite even at the LNG storage temperature and the evident mechanical twining effect during the cryogenic deformation. Since four-point bending deformation may induce elastoplastic strain and texture gradient distribution valuable to investigate the twinning effect, it is highly expected to carry out the in-situ/ex-situ cryogenic bending deformation experiment for clarifying the shear-induced twinning mechanism. As a preliminary research, cold-bent samples of high-Mn austenite thick steel plates at room temperature were employed to evaluate the twinning-induced shear band microstructure and confirm the 2D mapping of texture gradient distribution using time-of-flight (TOF) Bragg-edge transmission imaging. Comparably, the quantitative change in triaxial strains and crystallographic texture characteristics at five different regions along the bend radius was evaluated for reference using the angle-dispersive neutron diffraction. The conventional electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) was employed to provide the direct morphologic information of gradient microstructure of cold-bent high-Mn steel plates. The RADEN neutron transmission profiles obtained from the inner surface layer to the 1/2 thickness layer of cold bent sample show an very interesting preferred orientation charactersitics, quite similar with the density distributions of corresponding orienations of complete pole figures obtained from RESA.
