The paper presents stress-strain characteristics recorded during the four-step compression of axisymmetric samples in the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. The hot deformability of three steels with Mn concentrations of 3%, 4% and 5% was compared. The analysis of the influence of plastic deformation and Mn content on the microstructure of alloys, and in particular, on a fraction and morphological features of the retained austenite, was performed. The proportion of the retained austenite was determined by the X-ray diffraction method. It was found that the content of Mn in the range from 3% to 5% does not have a significant impact on the high-temperature resistance of the steel during compression tests, but it has a significant influence on the microstructure of the steel and the fraction of retained austenite. The optimal conditions for maximizing the proportion of retained austenite were obtained at the temperature of 400 °C, and it decreased with increasing Mn concentration in the steel. It has been shown that it is related to the redistribution of carbon from the remaining austenite fraction with an increase in the manganese content. The mechanical properties were determined on the basis of hardness measurements.

A method for evaluating the characteristics of a sequential multiphase technological process in printing production is proposed. This method uses a simulation model based on the mathematical apparatus of queuing systems, which allows us to study the flow of production processes taking into account the employment of time resources and the availability of the necessary amount of material resources. The article considers two cost models of queuing, which are aimed at achieving a compromise between the profit received from the implementation of the planned production volume, and the loss of profit caused by delays in the production process and possible restrictions on the volume of production.

Purpose: The aim of the research presented in the paper is to design the cooling routes after plastic deformation ensuring the multiphase structure with a high fraction of retained austenite on the basis of DCCT diagram for a new-developed Si-Al microalloyed TRIP steel. Design/methodology/approach: The CCT and DCCT diagrams were developed. Eight variants of the thermomechanical processing were designed on the basis of the DCCT diagram. The thermomechanical processing consisted of a multi-stage compression and various cooling strategies in the γ→α transformation range and isothermal holding temperature at a bainitic transformation region. Findings: The usefulness of DCCT diagram for designing the thermomechanical processing conditions for TRIP steels was demonstrated. The fraction of ferrite and retained austenite are highly dependent on a cooling path applied in the γ→α transformation region and a fraction of retained austenite especially on the isothermal holding temperature. The highest fraction of retained austenite as irregular grains located in a ferritic matrix and fine islands or interlath regions in bainitic regions were obtained at temperature of 400 and 450°C. Research limitations/implications: To determine precisely a fraction of retained austenite, the X-ray investigations has to be applied additionally to the image analysis. Practical implications: The designed cooling conditions are of great importance for the thermomechanical strategy for manufacturing the advanced high strength TRIP steels. Originality/value: The thermomechanical processing was carried out for a new group of TRIP steels with Si partially replaced by Al and containing microadditions of Nb and Ti.

Praca dotyczy identyfikacji składników strukturalnych oraz ich cech morfologicznych w stali o strukturze wielofazowej typu C-Mn-Si-Al z mikrododatkami Nb i Ti. Próbki pobrane z odcinków blach po obróbce cieplno-plastycznej poddano jednoosiowemu rozciąganiu zgodnie z kierunkiem walcowania. Odkształcenie realizowano do wydłużenia 5, 10 i 15% oraz do zerwania próbki. Analizowano rozwój struktury wielofazowej w miarę wzrostu odkształcenia na zimno, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem austenitu szczątkowego i martenzytu indukowanego odkształceniem. Stwierdzono, że austenit cechuje duża stabilność mechaniczna, będąca efektem dużego rozdrobnienia ziaren fazy ? w wyniku zastosowanej obróbki cieplno-plastycznej, a także postępującej stopniowo fragmentacji austenitu szczątkowego. W początkowym etapie odkształcenia przemianie ulegają duże ziarna, zlokalizowane w osnowie ferrytycznej o znacznej gęstości dyslokacji. W miarę wzrostu odkształcenia przemianie ulega austenit, stanowiący graniczne obszary wysp bainitycznych. Częściowa przemiana austenitu szczątkowego w bainicie ziarnistym oraz w środkowej części warstwowych obszarów tej fazy, ulokowanych pomiędzy płytkami ferrytu bainitycznego, rozpoczyna się przy odkształceniu około 15%. Duża stabilność austenitu występującego pomiędzy płytkami ferrytu bainitycznego wynika z ciśnienia hydrostatycznego wprowadzanego przez twarde płytki tej fazy, podobnie jak wywieranego przez indukowany odkształceniem martenzyt drobnopłytkowy. Po zerwaniu próbki stabilne pozostają rozdrobnione, warstwowe obszary austenitu oraz drobne ziarenka w bainicie ziarnistym.

The work concerns the identification of structural constituents and their morphological features of C-Mn-Si-Al steel with Nb and Ti microalloying additions. The test samples taken from the sheets after the thermomechanical processing (Tab. 1) were subjected to single-axis tension along a rolling direction. Deformation was realized to elongation of 5, 10 and 15% as well as to specimens rupture. In this way, the analysis of the evolution of multiphase structure as a function of cold plastic deformation with a special attention to retained austenite and strain-induced martensite was conducted. It was found that retained austenite was high mechanically stable, retained austenite. Large grains located in a ferritic matrix of high dislocation density are transformed in an initial stage of deformation (Fig. 2, 3). As the strain increases, the retained austenite at the boundary regions of bainitic islands transforms (Fig. 2, 4). A partially transformation of retained austenite in granular bainite and in a middle part of layer regions of this phase, located between bainitic ferrite plates, begins at the strain value of about 15% (Fig. 5). The high stability of austenite occurring between bainitic ferrite plates is due to hydrostatic pressure exerting by hard plates of this phase, similarly as caused by strain-induced fine-plate martensite. After the rupture of specimens, the high mechanical stability of layer regions of austenite and fine granules in granular bainite is maintained (Fig. 6).

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to determine the influence of isothermal bainitic transformation temperature on morphological features and a fraction of retained austenite in a new-developed thermo-mechanically processed C-Mn-Si-Al-Nb-Ti multiphase steel. Design/methodology/approach: The thermo-mechanical processing was realized in a multi-stage compression test by the use of the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. The steel was isothermally held for 600 s in a bainitic transformation temperature range of 250 to 500°C. A fraction and stereological parameters of retained austenite were determined by a computer image analyser using an optical microscope. The details of the retained austenite morphology were revealed in a scanning electron microscope and using EBSD technique. Findings: The maximum fraction of retained austenite (above 14%) was obtained for the temperatures of isothermal bainitic transformation from 400 to 450°C. Below 350°C, the largest grains of retained austenite located in a ferritic matrix transform to martensite and its fraction estimated by the use of computer image analysis is too high compared to X-ray investigations. Blocky, irregular grains located in a ferritic matrix are a main structural constituent of retained austenite in a temperature range up to 350°C. Increasing the isothermal holding temperature to a range of 400-450°C results in increasing a fraction of fine blocky and layer regions of the ă phase. Research limitations/implications: To describe in detail morphological features of retained austenite in fine-grained multiphase structures, a combination of different methods characterized by various resolution is necessary. Practical implications: The revealed morphological features of retained austenite are of great importance for mechanical stability of this phase during cold straining, affecting mechanical properties of advanced TRIP-assisted steels. Originality/value: Combined colour etching, scanning electron microscopy and EBSD (Electron Backscattered Diffraction) methods were applied to characterize retained austenite in a modern group of thermomechanically processed TRIP steels with Nb and Ti microadditions.
