In this study, medium Mn transformation-induced plasticity steel with the composition Fe-0.08 pct C-6.15 pct Mn-1.5 pct Si-2.0 pct Al-0.08 pct V was investigated. After intercritical annealing at 1013 K (740 A degrees C), the steel contained coarse-grained ferrite and two ultrafine-grained (UFG) phases: ferrite and retained austenite. The material did not deform by localized Luders band propagation: it did not suffer from this major problem as most UFG steels do. Localization of plastic flow was shown to be suppressed because of a combination of factors, including a bimodal grain size distribution, a multiphase microstructure, the presence of nanosized vanadium carbide precipitates, and the occurrence of the deformation-induced martensitic transformation of retained austenite. A constitutive model incorporating these effects was developed. The model was used to identify the factors which can lead to a further improvement of the mechanical properties of the UFG medium Mn TRIP steels.
