The effect of retained and reversed austenite on the damping capacity in high manganese stainless steel with two phases of martensite and austenite was studied. The two phase structure of martensite and retained austenite was obtained by deformation for various degrees of deformation, and a two phase structure of martensite and reverse austenite was obtained by reverse annealing treatment for various temperatures after 70 % cold rolling. With the increase in the degree of deformation, the retained austenite and damping capacity rapidly decreased, with an increase in the reverse annealing temperature, the reversed austenite and damping capacity rapidly increased. With the volume fraction of the retained and reverse austenite, the damping capacity increased rapidly. At same volume of retained and reversed austenite, the damping capacity of the reversed austenite was higher than the retained austenite. Thus, the damping capacity was affected greatly by the reversed austenite.

The effects of Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) and Annealed Martensite (AM) heat treatment on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated for 0.24C-0.5Si-1.5Mn-1Al steels. The Q&P steels were annealed at a single phase (γ) or a dual phase (γ+α), followed by quenching to a temperature between Ms and Mf. Then, enriching carbon was conducted to stabilize the austenite through the partitioning, followed by water quenching. The AM steels were intercritically annealed at a dual phase (γ+α) temperature and austempered at Ms and Ms±50˚C, followed by cooling in oil quenching. The dual phase Q&P steels showed lower tensile strength and yieldyield strength than those of the single phase Q&P steels, and tThe elongation for the dual phase Q&P steel was partitioning 100s higher than that of that for the single phase Q&P steels as the partitioning time was less than 100s up to partitioning 100s. For AM steels, the tensile/yield strength decreased and the total elongation increased as the austempering temperature increased. The stability of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for Q&P steels and the volume fraction of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for AM steels.

고크롬주철에 있어서 기지 및 탄화물의 조직제어는 내마모성의 향상을 위해 필수적이다. 특히 기지조직내의 잔류오스테나이트함량은 최적 내마모성을 얻기위해 반드시 조절되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 3% C-18%(or 25%)Cr-Mo-Ni-Mn 고크롬주철을 800˚C, 900˚C, 1000˚C 및 1100˚C의 질소분위기 하에서 각각 20분 불안정화열처리를 행한 후 공냉시켰다. 잔류오스테나이트의 함량은 Xtjs 회절시험을 통해 측정하였으며 회절 peak는 α200, α220, γ220그리고 γ311을 이용하였다. 화학조성, 불안정화열처리의 온도 및 시간, 그리고 잔류오스테니이트함량강의 관계식을 도출하였다.
