Conclusions
-
1.
High-temperature deformation is an effective method of improving the mechanical properties of austenitic Fe−Mn steels. Treatment with Tdef=900° and 70% reduction in five passes provides high values of the mechanical properties without additional aging. Steel 60G12Kh9F2 is nonmagnetic after this treatment and has the following mechanical properties: σb = 1650 MPa, σ0.2 = 1100 MPa, δ = 26%, ψ = 36%.

2.
Strengthening by means of hydrostatic extrusion and aging ensures high strength and ductility of Cr−Mn steels, which are not magnetic.
-
3.
Martensite is formed in steels with 10–14% Mn during deformation, which induces embrittlement. Steels with 18–20% Mn have high ductility, since fine strain twins occur in the process of deformation, causing relaxation of local stresses similar to the TRIP effect; no strain martensite is observed.
