Nanosized κ-Carbide and B2 Boosting Strength Without Sacrificing Ductility in a Low-Density Fe-32Mn-11Al Steel by Changwei He, Yongfeng Shen, Wenying Xue, Zhijian Fan, Yiran Zhou

“…It is encouraging to notice that the yield strength increased without scarifying ductility, compared to the ST steel. The key reason is that the high strain hardening rate is activated by combined factors, including the blockage of numerous twins and nanoscale B2 to the dislocation movements, and dynamic slip band refinement. …”
