abstract = {Two MnCr stainless steels (0.17C-10Mn-18Cr-xSi-1V-0.25N,
$wt.\%)$ with varying Si contents (x=0.4 and 2.2 wt. $\%)$
were designed with a stacking fault energy of 35 mJ/m2 to
activate the TWIP effect. The high-temperature deformation
behavior and room-temperature (RT) tensile properties were
investigated to explore the impact of Si in both high and RT
regimes. The high-temperature behavior of the steels was
assessed using hot-rolled plates through compression tests
at temperatures ranging from 950 to 1100 ◦C and strain
rates from 0.01 to 10 s 1. Hot deformation processing
maps were established to identify the safe and unstable
deformation zones. The RT tensile properties were evaluated
through uniaxial tensile tests of fast-heating (FH) annealed
cold-rolled sheets at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1200
◦C for 3 min. Microstructural analysis of the hot-rolled
and FH annealed structures was conducted using electron
backscatter diffraction and laser scanning confocal
microscopy, and precipitation was characterized by
transmission electron microscopy. The findings demonstrated
that MnCr-V steel with higher Si content (2.2 $wt.\%)$ had
reduced hot-deformation resistance and lower activation
energy for deformation (477 kJ/mol) compared to its lower Si
counterpart (507 kJ/mol). This can be attributed to the soft
ferrite phase within the austenite during elevated
temperature tests. Conversely, the RT tensile properties
exhibited an opposite trend, with the high Si steel showing
increased yield strength (YS) and Ultimate tensile strength
(UTS) compared to the low Si steel. This improvement is due
to solid solution strengthening from Si, precipitation
strengthening from V(C,N) particles, and a fine-grained
recrystallized structure resulting from short annealing. For
instance, after a FH process at 1000 ◦C for 3 min, the YS,
UTS, and total elongation values were 665 MPa, 980 MPa, and
40 $\%,$ respectively, for the low Si steel, while the high
Si steel achieved values of 715 MPa, 1045 MPa, and 30 $\%,$
respectively. Mechanical twinning was evident in both
materials.},
