Abstract
The influence of alloying elements such as chromium, titanium, vanadium and tungsten on the mechanical properties of 3wt% Mn dual-phase steels was examined as a function of heat-treatments. These elements produce an important strengthening effect and it is possible to obtain, by relatively simple heat-treatments, materials presenting excellent mechanical properties, high strength and good ductility. It was confirmed that these steels show a remarkable increase of yield strength by strain ageing and are easily weldable in spite of their high manganese content.
