Abstract

The phenomenon of delayed fracture in three austenitic manganese-based Twinning-Induced Plasticity steels is investigated by means of video observation and magnetic measurements. Delayed fracture is observed in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction, in coincidence with the highest α′-martensite fraction in a deep-drawn cup. The formation of a small fraction of α′-martensite, irrespective of the chemical composition examined, is indicative of the formation of crack initiation sites. We propose an intermittent crack propagation concept and model for the phenomenon of delayed fracture.
