Effect of Titanium Alloying on the Microstructure and Properties of High Manganese Steel

Abstract

The test used casting process to alloy the traditional high manganese steel with adding Ti. The surface morphology of the high manganese steel sample was observed by the scanning electron microscopy.At the same time, the hardness, the tensile strength and the wear resistance of the sample were tested. Compared with the high manganese steel without alloying, it studied the micro-structure and properties of modified high manganese steel. The results show that the grain of high manganese steel alloyed by titanium alloy is refined, the inclusions is dispersed and their size is reduced. The hardness of high manganese steel is increased by 87 %~263 %, but the tensile strength is reduced. Compared with the sample without added titanium element, the wear resistance of the alloyed high manganese steel is significantly improved.
