Abstract
In the present work, the effect of different silicon percentages that were
added to Hadfield manganese steel on the microstructure, phases and hardness
are investigated. The results show that silicon has the crucial role in changing the
hardness and Fe3C phase morphology from acicular to chunky through different
stages. X-ray diffraction line profile analysis shows that two phases are presented
in the matrix of Hadfield manganese steels; these phases are austenite and Fe3C.
