Relations between the Lattice Parameter and the Stability of Austenite against ε Martensite for the Fe-Mn Based Alloys

Abstract

Abstract: The influences of lattice parameter of austenite, the electron concentration, the yield strength of parent phase on γ→ε martensite start temperature MS in the Fe-Mn alloys containing C, Al, Ge and Si have been experimentally investigated. The results show that the lattice parameter of austenite is more important than the electron concentration and the yield strength of parent phase in governing the γ→ε martensitic transformation in Fe-Mn based alloys. A relation between the MS and lattice parameter of austenite in Fe-Mn based alloys is suggested. The elements Mn, C, Al, Ge, which increase the lattice parameter of austenite lower the MS while the element Si, which decreases the lattice parameter increases the MS. The depressing effect of antiferromagnetic transition on the γ→ε martensitic transformation may be related to the increase of lattice parameter due to the positive magnetostriction during the antiferromagnetic transition.
