Abstract

A high-strength austenite-based high-manganese steel material and a manufacturing method for the same, the steel material comprising: manganese (Mn): 20 to 23 wt %, carbon (C): 0.3 to 0.5 wt %, silicon (Si): 0.05 to 0.50 wt %, phosphorus (P): 0.03 wt % or less, sulfur (S): 0.005 wt % or less, aluminum (Al): 0.050 wt % or less, chromium (Cr): 2.5 wt % or less, boron (B): 0.0005 to 0.01 wt %, nitrogen (N): 0.03 wt % or less, and a balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein stacked defect energy (SFE) represented by the following relationship 1 is 3.05 mJ/m 2 or more, and a microstructure comprises 95 area % or more (including 100 area %) of austenite, and comprises 6 area % or more of strain grain boundaries in an austenite recrystallized grain, is provided. SFE(mJ/m 2 )=−24.2+0.950*Mn+39.0*C−2.53*Si−5.50*Al−0.765*Cr  [Relationship 1] where Mn, C, Cr, Si, and Al denote weight percent of respective components.

Claims (9)

1. An austenite-based high-manganese steel material, comprising: manganese (Mn): 20 to 23 wt %, carbon (C): 0.3 to 0.5 wt %, silicon (Si): 0.05 to 0.50 wt %, phosphorus (P): 0.03 wt % or less (excluding 0 wt %), sulfur (S): 0.005 wt % or less (excluding 0 wt %), aluminum (Al): 0.050 wt % or less (excluding 0 wt %), chromium (Cr): 2.5 wt % or less (including 0 wt %), boron (B): 0.0005 to 0.01 wt %, nitrogen (N): 0.03 wt % or less (excluding 0 wt %), and a balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities,

wherein stacked defect energy (SFE) represented by the following relationship 1 is 3.05 to 17.02 mJ/m 2 ,

a microstructure comprises 95 area % or more (including 100 area %) of austenite, and comprises 6 to 95 area % of deformed grain boundaries in a recrystallized austenite grain, and

wherein the steel material comprises 429 MPa or more of yield strength, 950 MPa or more of tensile strength and 22% or more of elongation,

SFE(mJ/m 2 )=−24.2+0.950*Mn+39.0*C−2.53*Si−5.50*Al−0.765*Cr  [Relationship 1]

where Mn, C, Cr, Si, and Al denote weight percent of respective components.

2. The austenite-based high-manganese steel material according to claim 1 , wherein the microstructure comprises 5 area % or less of an inclusion and/or 5 area % or less of ε-martensite.

3. The austenite-based high-manganese steel material according to claim 2 , wherein the inclusion is carbide.

4. The austenite-based high-manganese steel material according to claim 2 , wherein the inclusion is included in grain boundaries of the austenite.
