An Fe-0.15C-1.2Si-5Mn-0.09Nb-0.08V-0.07Mo (wt.%) medium manganese steel that was subjected to a novel austenite reverted transformation (ART) annealing process. This paper is based on the conventional ART annealing process, and a deformation and ART annealing process is proposed. The influence of the deformation degree on the microstructure and grain size of the medium manganese steel was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the deformation had a great effect on the microstructure evolution and grain size. The microstructure of the medium manganese steel after the deformation and ART annealing process was consistent with the theory of austenite reverse transformation, i.e., the martensite reverse transformation into austenite occurred during the deformation and ART annealing process. The final microstructure was a mixture of martensite and austenite. As the deformation degree increases, the martensite gradually refines, and carbides precipitate in the lath martensite. The retained austenite is gradually transformed from very large to small and is distributed between the martensite laths. The results show that when deformation occurs in the austenite region, a small deformation can obtain more retained austenite.
