Abstract
This paper presents a study of two lightweight steels, Fe-15Mn-10Al-0.8C-5Ni and Fe-15Mn-10Al-0.8C where strength is dependent upon the microstructure of 2nd phase precipitates. We investigate the effects of annealing temperature from 500 °C to 1050 °C on the precipitation of ordered phases size and morphology through phase-field modelling and experimental studies based on laboratory scale annealing and characterization. The chemical composition of carbides and B2 compounds as a function of isothermal annealing temperature and the matrix within which they formed are elucidated in this study. It is found that nano-sized disk-shaped B2 particles form at higher annealing temperatures (e.g. 900 °C and 1050 °C). The simulation results on carbides demonstrated the effects of energetic competition between interfacial energy and elastic strain energy on the morphological evolution of carbides. In addition to that, different ordering behaviours observed depending on the Ni content into the steel. The results demonstrate processing route designed through the phase-field simulations led to a better combination of strength and ductility. The tensile testing results indicate an increase in the strength and elongation when B2 precipitate morphology changes from micro-size faceted shape to nano-size disk-like particles.
