Abstract

A study has been made on a new type of wear resistant/high strength iron-manganse-molybdenum steel. This study includes the influence of composition and heat treatment on the mechanical properties. The exceptional work-hardening rate is due to strain-induced formation of lath martensite which itself also takes part in the work-hardening process. The influence of higher molybdenum contents was evident in preventing brittleness of the solution treated steels. An optimum composition range for this type of steel is indicated.
