Effects of Vanadium Microalloying and Intercritical Annealing on Yield Strength-Ductility Trade-Offs of Medium-Manganese Steels.

In this paper, we investigate the effects of vanadium on the strength and ductility of medium-manganese steels by analyzing the microstructural evolution and strain hardening rates and performing quantitative calculations. Two significantly different contents of vanadium, 0.05 and 0.
