Continuous annealing of medium-Mn steels: Plasticity controlled by SIMT kinetics through grain size distribution and Mn concentration in retained austenite

Intercritical annealing, a process widely employed to achieve a high fraction of retained austenite in medium-Mn steels, typically requires several hours, resulting in low economic efficiency. Alternatively, flash annealing, characterized by high heating rates, relies on induction heating, which int...
