Selective Oxidation and Sub-Surface Phase Transformation during Austenitic Annealing of TWIP Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The selective oxidation of Al-free and Al-added Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels during full austenitic annealing at 800°C in N2+10%H2 atmosphere at a dew point of -17°C was investigated by means of HR-TEM of FIB cross-sectional samples. For Al-free TWIP steel, a dense MnO layer was formed on the surface. Crystalline c-xMnO.SiO2(x2) particles and amorphous a-xMnO.SiO2(x<0.9) particles were found at the MnO layer/steel matrix interface. In the subsurface, Mn depletion resulted in the transformation of the austenite to the ferrite phase in a narrow zone. For Al-added TWIP steel, a continuous outer MnO layer and a transition layer consisting of amorphous a-xMnO.SiO2(x<0.9) and crystalline c-MnO.Al2O3(0.8
