Effects of reduced (– 40 °C), ambient (20 °C), and elevated (200 °C) deformation temperatures on the microstructure evolution and strain hardening behavior of two low-C thermomechanically processed high-manganese steels were studied. The microstructure was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The temperature-dependent tendency of austenite to strain-induced ε/α′-martensitic transformation and mechanical twinning was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed using the EBSD technique. The steel containing 26 wt% of Mn showed the beneficial strength–ductility balance at reduced deformation temperature -40 °C due to the intense Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect which resulted in the formation of significant ε- and α′-martensite fractions during tensile deformation. The mechanical properties of steel containing 27 wt% of Mn were more beneficial at elevated deformation temperature 200 °C due to the occurrence of intense Twinning-Induced Plasticity (TWIP) effect expressed by the presence of significant fraction of mechanical twins. Moreover, at the highest deformation temperature 200 °C, the evidence of thermally activated processes affecting the mechanical behavior of the higher Mn steel was identified and described.

The thermal and mechanical stabilities of retained austenite in aluminum-containing medium-Mn 0.16C–4.7Mn–1.6Al–0.2Si sheet steel were investigated. The strain-induced martensitic transformation in Mn TRIP steel was studied at different temperatures. Static tensile tests were carried out at the temperature ranging from − 60 to 200 °C. The tests allowed to study the influence of the temperature on austenite-to-martensite transformation kinetics. The interrupted tensile tests and corresponding X-ray measurements of retained austenite amount were performed to determine the mechanical stability of retained austenite using the Sugimoto model. The microstructure changes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Observed results reflected the effects of deformation temperature on the mechanical stability of retained austenite and the corresponding response of this phase to martensitic transformation. It was found that an increase in the deformation temperature resulted in the reduced intensity of the TRIP effect due to the higher mechanical stability of retained austenite. At the highest deformation temperature (200 °C), the evidence of thermally activated processes affecting the mechanical behavior was identified.
