Abstract

An aspect of the present invention relates to a high-strength and high-manganese steel having excellent low-temperature toughness, the high-strength and high-manganese steel comprising, in terms of wt %, 4.3-5.7% of manganese (Mn), 0.015-0.055% of carbon (C), 0.015-0.05% silicon (Si), 0.6-1.7% of aluminum (Al), 0.01-0.1% of niobium (Nb), 0.015-0.055% of titanium (Ti), 0.001-0.005% of boron (B), 0.03% or less of phosphor (P), 0.02% or less of sulfur (S), and the balance iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein the microstructure thereof comprises, in terms of percent by volume, 40-60% of martensite and 40-60% of tempered martensite.

Claims (9)

1. A high-manganese steel comprising:

in terms of weight percentage (wt %), 4.3 to 5.7% of manganese (Mn), 0.015 to 0.055% of carbon (C), 0.015 to 0.05% of silicon (Si), 0.6 to 1.7% of aluminum (Al), 0.01 to 0.1% of niobium (Nb), 0.015 to 0.055% of titanium (Ti), 0.001 to 0.005% of boron (B), 0.03% or less of phosphor (P), 0.02% or less of sulfur (S), and a balance iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities,

wherein a microstructure of the high-manganese steel consists of, in terms of volume percentage, 40 to 60% of martensite and 40 to 60% of tempered martensite, and

wherein the martensite has an average grain size of 15 micrometers or less.

2. The high-manganese steel of claim 1 , further comprises:

tungsten (W): 0.5% or less (excluding 0%).

3. The high-manganese steel of claim 1 , which has yield strength of 550 megapascals (MPa) and tensile strength of 650 MPa or more.

4. The high-manganese steel of claim 1 , which has a ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of −60 degrees Celsius or less.

5. The high-manganese steel of claim 1 , which has elongation of 12 percent or more.
