Abstract

A novel severe plastic deformation is carried out on a medium Mn advanced high strength steel (AHSS) at both room and cryogenic temperatures which is called surface mechanical impact treatment (SMIT). After characterization, utilizing the design of experiment (DOE) program, it is obtained that how the SMIT parameters including time, voltage, and, shot diameter affect the tensile test results of SMITed samples at room temperature (RT-SMITed). Microhardness profiles of SMITed samples at cryogenic temperature (CT-SMITed) show more increase in microhardness than RT-SMITed ones up to the center of specimens. Additionally, the yield strength of CT-SMITed and RT-SMITed samples increases by 84% and 28% on average, respectively. The formation of mechanical twins, slip bands and, rhombic blocks improve both the microhardness and yield strength of treated samples. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of all treated specimens decreases sharply (35% in RT-SMITed and 32% in CT-SMITed samples). According to DOE results, UTS has a negative correlation with voltage and based on fracture surface images, brittle fracture configurations increases with increasing voltage. The reason for this observation could be the precracks formed due to the deformation of detected MnS precipitates and the possibility of the martensite phase cracking during the SMIT process.
