Abstract In the last decade, transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) aided steels and twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) aided steels have attracted a great deal of attention due to their high strength and exceptional ductility at room temperature. In the present work, a TRIP/TWIP austenite steel with the composition as Fe-20Mn-3Al-3Si has been investigated by means of surface mechanical grinding treatment (SMGT) since it is an alloy with low stacking fault energy. The e-M and/or a-M transformations can easily occur in the steel when deformed at room temperature. It is shown that a gradient phase-transformation-strengthened (PTS) surface layer can be formed on bulk Fe-20Mn-3Al-3Si steel by SMGT at room temperature, due to the martensitic transformation of γ→ε→α on its surface. The formation of martensitic phases is dependent on the strain applied and the orientation of grains. The more the {111} or the {110} planes of grains are parallel to the specimen surface plane, the easier the martensitic laths are to be formed in the gains. The total thickness of the PTS surface layer, which formed in the process of turning at room temperature, can be more than 400 μm, but its microstructure and hardness change with depth. The top PTS layer consists of nanometer sized grains while the sublayer contains a great many of martensite laths mixed with deformation twins. With increasing of the depth, the numbers of laths decrease. Correspondingly, the micro-hardness continuously decreases with the depth from 450 HV to about 220 HV (the hardness of the matrix). The formed PTS layer has a good thermodynamic stability, so that its microstructure and hardness almost do not change after annealed at 400 ℃ for 1 h.
