■ Mn<br />

The γ => ε transformation temperatures decrease with increasing Mn content.<br />

■ Si<br />

Silicon improves strength by solid solution strengthening.<br />

ilicon addition is effective for refining ε martensite plates and increasing<br />

fracture strength, although it does not improve ductility.<br />

■ Al<br />

The high aluminum content in high manganese steels increases the stacking<br />

fault energy of austenite. The formation of ε-martensite is suppressed by<br />

aluminum addition. An aluminum addition is also very effective for improving<br />

of low temperature toughness. Aluminum can segregate on the grain<br />

boundaries during solidification, and produce a low melting point intermetalic<br />

compound such as Fe 2 Al 5 having a melting point about 1170°C on the grain<br />

boundaries, which cause a weakness in the casting structure.<br />
