Superior strength-ductility synergy by hetero-structuring high manganese steel
Lacking of forest hardening makes low ductility in steels long challenge particularly at high yield strength. Here
we report to make good use of hetero-structuring for superior strength-ductility synergy in high manganese steel. The point is to retain original deformed structure of large quantity
along with recrystallized ultrafine-grains and fine grains
jointly for most effective heterogeneous deformation-induced (HDI) hardening especially at high strength. The residual plastic strain of larger than 0.2% and large proportion of HDI stress over 60% indicate the crucial role in ductility by HDI hardening. This renders a significantly upgraded strength-ductility combination within high strength scope.
