In this paper, the effects of Cr content and impact load on the microstructure and properties of High Manganese Steel (HMS) were investigated. The results show that the hardness of HMS was increasing when the Cr content increased, but the hardness was not much changing when the Cr contents changed from 2% to 2,5% of weight. Under the impact load, the microstructure and the hardness were changed also. The Cr content effected on the depth of transition layer on surface under the impact load and the twinning occurred during impacting load.

This article studies the mechanism of work hardening of austenitic high manganese steel alloyed with chromium and vanadium. The steel was annealed at 650°C before austenitizing at 1100°C, and then was quenched with water. We have observed that after the heat treatment, the size of austenite grain was small (1,950μm2 - level 6). The hardness of the steel was 223HB and the toughness was 115J/cm2. After impact loading, there was no martensite but twinning and sliding in the microstructure of the steel. The nano austenite was found in the microstructure. The steel was also hardened by small austenite grain and the carbide particles were finely dispersed in the microstructure.

This paper presents the effect of deformation on the change of microstructure of Cu-15Ni-8Sn and Cu-9Ni-6Sn alloy during heat treatment. The samples were homogenized, quenched, cold-rolled at different thickness reduction, and aged. The effects of deformation on microstructures were observed by optical microscope and SEM. The spinodal decomposition after homogenized solid solution, deformation and aging of these alloys was observed. The results have shown that during aging, from the rich-tin zones formed by spinodal decomposition, produced phase γ. The microstructure included of α +γ. The deformation accelerated the aging process and rapid increased the diameter of formed phase γ.
