Abstract Scope |
Lightweight steels of Fe-Mn-Al-C system are drawing great attention due to superior mechanical properties. The combination of strength and elongation of Fe-Mn-Al-C steels can be controlled by nano-sized κ-carbide precipitation, which is significantly affected by Si and Mo addition. In this study, a novel structural material with hardness gradient was fabricated by solid-state bonding of two Fe-Mn-Al-C-based lightweight steels containing Mo and Si, respectively, using electrically assisted pressure joining (EAPJ). It was confirmed that the EAPJed material had excellent bonding strength through tensile test. Through EPMA observation, it was observed that Si and Mo diffusion occurred actively into two base materials during EAPJ. Since the addition of Si promotes the precipitation kinetics of κ-carbide whereas Mo retards it, a significant gradient of precipitate distribution was found. As a result, it was possible to fabricate a new structural material with a hardness gradient of about 100 HV in 0.5 mm. |
