In the paper, results of impact bending tests of a high-manganese steel of X30MnAlSi26-4-3 grade are presented. The tests were carried out using a flywheel machine, suitable for dynamic tensile tests and impact bending tests in the range of linear velocity of the forcing element from 5 ÷ 40 m/s. The obtained test results were compared with the results of impact resistance of the studied steel determined using Charpy machine. Structural investigations were carried out using light microscope and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Creating a mechanical twins at different strain rates was analyzed. The surfaces of fractures formed in the break point during bending tests were analyzed, and they indicate a presence of mixed transcrystalline fractures with a predominance of plastic fractures. Substructure studies revealed the presence of mechanical twinning induced in a high strain rate for the X30MnAlSi26-4-3 steel.
The paper presents results of dynamic tensile investigations of high-manganese Fe -20 wt.% Mn -3 wt.% Al -3 wt.% Si -0.2 wt.% steel. The research was carried out on a flywheel machine, which enables to perform dynamic tensile tests and impact bending with a linear velocity of the enforcing element in the range of 5÷40 m/s. It was found that the studied steel was characterized by very good mechanical properties. Strength of the tested materials was determined in the static tensile test and dynamic deformation test, while its hardness was measured with the Vickers hardness test method. The surface of fractures that were created in the areas where the sample was torn were analyzed. These fractures indicate the presence of transcrystalline ductile fractures. Fractographic tests were performed with the use of a scanning electron microscope. The structure was analyzed by light optical microscopy. Substructure studies revealed occurrence of mechanical twinning induced by high strain rates. A detailed analysis of the structure was performed with the use of a transmission scanning electron microscope STEM.Keywords: high-manganese steel, dynamic deformation test, strain rate, impact strength, mechanical twinning, structure W pracy przedstawiono wyniki wstępnych badań dynamicznego rozciągania wysokomanganowej stali gatunku X20MnAlSi16-3-3. Badania przeprowadzono na młocie rotacyjnym, który posiada możliwość realizacji prób dynamicznego rozciągania i udarowego zginania w zakresie prędkości liniowej elementu wymuszającego od 5÷40 m/s. Badana stal charakteryzuje się bardzo dobrymi właściwościami mechanicznymi. Wyniki badań uzyskano na podstawie statycznej próby rozciągania, próby dynamicznego rozciągania na młocie rotacyjnym oraz pomiaru twardości metodą Vickersa. Przeanalizowano powierzchnie przełomów powstałych w miejscu zerwania podczas prób rozciągania, które wskazują na obecność przełomów transkrystalicznych ciągliwych. Badania strukturalne wykonano z wykorzystaniem techniki mikroskopii świetlnej, skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej i skaningowej transmisyjnej mikroskopii elektronowej. Przeprowadzone badania substruktury ujawniły obecność mechanizmu bliźniakowania mechanicznego, indukowanego w warunkach dużych prędkości odkształcenia.
In last ten years, leading research centers have been directed to the development of high-Mn steels for manufacturing of parts for automotive industry. The discussed steels with different values of Mn, Al, and Si addition have a medium value of EBU. They usually demonstrate a dominant stress mechanism like twinning induced plasticity TWIP. During the plastic deformation, they may demonstrate a two stress mechanisms like sliding and twinning. The paper presents the results of an analysis of the substructure of high manganese steel after deformation by cold rolling in the context of dominant stress mechanism. The substructure was analyzed by scanning transmission electron microscopy. In the steels, close weaves of dislocations, dislocations tangles, twins and microtwins were observed. It was revealed that the detailed analysis of substructure of the investigated steels after cold deformation could be helpful in determination of the dominant stress mechanism. The obtained results may be used for development of these steels and their plastic deformation models.
In this work, the results of a dilatometric study of alloys on the base of the Al-Fe system were presented. Thermal expansion investigations of the alloys of the Al-Fe system with concentration of Al equal to - 38, 48, 58 at.% were also presented. The alloys were obtained by classical casting technique. The thermal expansion studies of the alloys were carried out by dilatometric analysis method using a Setsys thermal analyzer made by Setaram. A linear thermal expansion coefficient α was calculated using standard methods. A temperature dependence of the α coefficient was noted. The results are an important supplement of knowledge on the alloys of the Al-Fe system.
