Abstract The effects of Si on the grain boundary structure and mechanical properties of hypereutectoid Mn steels austenitized at 950℃ and isothemially transformed at 560℃were studied by means of SEM and TEM. The experimental results showed that the impact toughness and elongation can be improved by Si additions. The observation of microstructure revealed that grain boundary cemetite networks can be inhibited and grain boundary ferrite formed in these hypereutectoid steels by Si addition. The formation mechanism of grain boundary ferrite has also been discussed.
