Purpose: The aim of the paper is to determine the influence of hot-working conditions on microstructure evolution and phase composition of new-developed high-manganese austenitic TRIP-type steels. Design/methodology/approach: The hot-working behaviour was determined in continuous and multistage compression tests performed in a temperature range of 850 to 1100°C by the use of the Gleeble 3800 thermo-mechanical simulator. The processes controlling work hardening and removing it were identified by microstructure evolution observations in different stages of compression with the amount of true strain 4x0.23. Phase composition of steels was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Findings: It was found that they have austenite microstructure with numerous annealing twins in the initial state. Continuous compression tests realized in the temperature range from 850 to 1050°C with the strain rate of 0.1, 1 and 10 s^-1 enabled determination of yield stress values and values of ε_max deformations - corresponding to maximum flow stress. The investigated steels are characterized by high values of flow stress from 120 to 380 MPa. Results of the multi-stage compression proved that applying the true strain 4x0.23 gives the possibility to refine the austenite microstructure. Research limitations/implications: To determine in detail the microstructure evolution during industrial rolling, the hot-working schedule should take into account real number of passes and higher strain rates. Practical implications: The obtained microstructure - hot-working conditions relationships and stress-strain curves can be useful in determination of power-force parameters of hot-rolling for sheets with fine-grained austenitic structures. Originality/value: The hot-working behaviour and microstructure evolution in various conditions of plastic deformation for new-developed high-manganese austenitic TRIP-type steels with Nb and Ti microadditions were investigated.
