Abstract

This study investigates the influence of strain rate on the tensile properties, misorientation distribution, and texture evolution of annealed Fe-3.46Al-7.52Mn-0.92Si-0.22C (wt.%) steel. Tensile tests are performed on the annealed sample at room temperature with strain rates of 3.3 × 10-4 (SR-1), 1.65 × 10-3 (SR-2), and 3.3 × 10-3 s−1 (SR-3). At higher strain rates, a higher amount of austenite is retained and higher weighted average kernel average misorientation (KAM) is observed. SR-1 exhibits a superior ductility (40 %) compared to SR-2 and SR-3 (28 and 18 %, respectively) due to the combined effect of a higher amount of austenite (29.2 %) transformed to martensite, a higher fraction of low-angle grain boundaries, and strong Ms-brass {011} < 211 > texture. However, SR-2 and SR-3 show better tensile strength compared to SR-1 due to higher fraction of high-angle grain boundaries and evolution of higher intensity α-fiber RD // <110 >.
