The texture and microstructure in Cu/Nb added ultra low carbon steels through the different thickness layer were studied after hot rolling. It was found that the two ultra low carbon steels all show the inhomogeneity of hot rolling texture and the Cu-added ultra low carbon steel was far more inhomogeneous than Nb-added one. In the center layer, the strong α fibre, γ fibre textures and the shear textures including {001}<110>, {111}<112> were founded. Near the surface, the α fibre texture and the orientation texture caused by a typical plane-strain deformation condition of bcc metals were observed.

Abstract. Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight high strength steel, adding more Mn, Al and C elements into conventional AHSS, shows amazing mechanical properties, corrosion resistant and weight reduction than conventional AHSS. The mechanical properties and microstructure of Fe-15Mn-6.8Al-0.9C-0.2Ti steel after annealing process were investigated. The results show that the microstructures consisted of secondary phases TiC precipitate and ferrite in the austenite matrix. The tensile strength and elongation of the steel are 985MPa and 36%, respectively. The density is 6.86g/cm3. Continuous strain hardening behavior provides Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight steel with perfect combination of strength and ductility.
