摘要

The hot deformation behavior of Fe-25Mn-12Al-1C-3.5Ni low-density steel was investigated through high-temperature compression tests conducted at temperatures of 900–1200 ℃ and strain rates of 0.01–10 s⁻1. The results revealed that flow stress increased with rising strain rate and decreasing temperature. Secondary hardening was induced by the synergistic effects of B2-phase DRX and strain localization in austenite when the strain rate was 0.1 s–1. The calculated hot deformation activation energy was 520.44 kJ/mol, significantly higher than conventional low-density steels. The hot processing map indicated that the optimal hot working parameters for the experimental steel were 1050–1130 ℃ and 0.01–0.1 s⁻1.Two instability regions should be avoided in hot processing. Under high-temperature/high-strain-rate conditions (1100–1200 ℃, 0.5–10 s⁻1), incomplete DRX resulted in micro-voids nucleation and intergranular fracture propagation. When the material was subjected to low-temperature/high-strain-rate combinations (900–950 ℃, 0.36–10 s⁻1), undissolved κ-carbides induced strain localization and surface cracks.
