Abstract:
A new type of high-strength and high-toughness low-alloy Mn steel was designed by multi-element alloying.The static CCT diagram,microstructure,fracture morphology of the steel,as well as the effect of heat treatment on its mechanical properties,were studied.The results show that the stability of under-cooled austenite in the steel is excellent,which makes the steel have high hardenability and tempering stability.After being quenched at 890 to 930℃ and tempered at 200 to 230℃,the steel obtains tempered lath martensite which makes the steel the optimum combination of tensile strength R
m and impact toughness A
kv (R
m ≥ 1 500 MPa,A
kv ≥ 85 J).A good performance-price ratio was determined by properly increasing the content of Mn which is abundant in China.
