Automobile industry is continuously striving to obtain light body-in-white structures to meet tightened regulations on flue-gas emissions/crash-testing parameters. ‘Advanced high strength steels (AHSS)’ find increased applications in the automotive industry because of improved crashworthiness/formability at reasonably low costs. AHSS category mainly includes transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels, twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels, dual phase (DP) steels, complex-phase (CP) steels, and quenching-partitioning (Q&P) steels. AHSSs provide superior strength-ductility combination than conventional high-strength steels by virtue of their multi-phase microstructures. Mechanical properties of AHSSs are greatly influenced by processing routes/derived microstructures. Furthermore, mechanical properties/tensile deformation behavior are also strain rate dependent. During an automobile crash, deformation occurs at strain rates which are exceedingly higher than quasi-static conditions. So, investigation of AHSS properties under both quasi-static as well as high strain rates conditions is important to check applicability for superior crash-resistance. The present work critically reviews details of processing routes, room temperature microstructures, mechanical properties, and finally strain rate dependence of tensile deformation behaviour of AHSSs. Finally, main gaps in existing literature/scope for future research with regards to high strain rate deformation dependent properties of this steel category are presented.

Purpose: The paper presents the issues of designing the maintenance of materials and products in accordance with the idea of Industry 4.0. The author's views on the need for augmentation of the Industry 4.0 model were also presented, as well as the author's original concept that hybrid activities in predictive maintenance and condition-based maintenance should be preceded by designing material, maintenance & manufacturing 3MD at the stage of the product's material designing and technological designing. The 3MD approach significantly reduces the frequency of assumed actions, procedures and resources necessary to remain the condition of this product for the longest possible time, enabling it to perform the designed working functions. Examples of own advanced research on several selected, newly developed materials, used in very different areas of application, confirmed the validity of the scientific hypothesis and the relationship between the studied phenomena and structural effects and the working functions of products and their maintenance and indicated that material design is one of the most important elements guaranteeing progress production at the stage of Industry 4.0 of the industrial revolution. Design/methodology/approach: The author's considerations are based on an extensive literature study and the results of the author's previous study and empirical work. Each of the examples given required the use of a full set of research methods available to modern material engineering, including HRTEM high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Findings: The most interesting intellectual achievements contained in the paper include presentations of the author's original concepts regarding the augmentation of the Industry 4.0 model, which has been distributed so far, which not only requires augmentation but is actually only one of the 4 elements of the technology platform of the extended holistic model of current industrial development, concerning cyber-IT production aided system. The author also presents his own concept for designing material, maintenance and manufacturing 3MD already at the stage of material and technological design of the product, eliminating many problems related to product maintenance, even before they are manufactured and put into exploitation. Detailed results of detailed structural researches of several selected avant-garde engineering materials and discussion of structural changes that accompanying their manufacturing and/or processing are also included. Originality/value: The originality of the paper is associated with the novelty of the approach to analysing maintenance problems of materials and products, taking into account the requirements of the contemporary stage of Industry 4.0 development. The value of the paper is mainly associated with the presentation of original issues referred to as findings, including the concept of augmentation of the Industry 4.0 model and the introduction and experimental confirmation of the idea by designing material, maintenance and manufacturing 3MD.

Purpose: The article deals with the possibility of experimental melting, casting and forging of these kinds of steel in laboratory induction melting furnace Design/methodology/approach: The metallographic tests and Rastegaev compression test were made to describe microstructural properties and flow stress behaviour at different forging temperatures. Findings: Results of this test show the true stress - true plastic strain diagrams which can be used as a data input to the numerical simulation of forging for example in DEFORM 3D simulation software. Research limitations/implications: Microstructure analysis proved successful handling during all forging operations - no cracks and similar defects were observed in the microstructure. Practical implications: Transportation industry demands high strength steels with the possibility to absorb high energy in case of a sudden collision. In recent years, so-called TWIP steels are in the focus of research of materials with high strength suitable for car bodies. Originality/value: TFeMn TWIP is a high-strength steel concept with superior formability, which may be close to being produced industrially. High manganese TWIP steels are highly ductile, high strength Mn austenitic steels characterized by a high rate of work hardening resulting from the generation of deformation-nucleated twins.

Purpose: The work consisted in investigation of newly elaborated high-manganese austenitic steels with Nb and Ti microadditions in variable conditions of hot-working. Design/methodology/approach: The force-energetic parameters of hot-working were determined in continuous and multi-stage compression test performed in temperature range of 850 to 1100°C using the Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator. Evaluation of processes controlling work-hardening were identified by microstructure observations of the specimens compresses to the various amount of deformation (4x0.29, 4x0.23 and 4x0.19). The microstructure evolution in successive stages of deformation was determined in metallographic investigations using light, scanning and electron microscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. Findings: The investigated steels are characterized by high values of flow stresses from 230 to 450 MPa. The flow stresses are much higher in comparison with austenitic Cr-Ni and Cr-Mn steels and slightly higher compared to Fe-(15-25)Mn alloys. Increase of flow stress along with decrease of compression temperature is accompanied by translation of εmax strain in the direction of higher deformation. Results of the multi-stage compression proved that applying the true strain 4x0.29 gives the possibility to refine the austenite microstructure as a result of dynamic recrystallization. In case of applying the lower deformations 4x0.23 and 4x0.19, the process controlling work hardening is dynamic recovery and a deciding influence on a gradual microstructure refinement has statical recrystallization. The steel 27Mn-4Si-2Al-Nb-Ti has austenite microstructure with annealing twins and some fraction of ε martensite plates in the initial state. After the grain refinement due to recrystallization, the steel is characterized by uniform structure of γ phase without ε martensite plates. 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 relationships can be useful in the determination of power-force parameters of hot-rolling and to design a rolling schedule for high-manganese steel sheets with fine-grained austenitic structures. Originality/value: The hot-deformation resistance and microstructure evolution in various conditions of hot-working for the new-developed high-manganese austenitic steels were investigated.
