Summary:A new model on predicting the density of hot-rolled multi-phased medium-Mn steel has been presented on the basis of thermodynamic calculations.This is an integrated model,which includes one for calculating the retained austenite(RA)fraction and the other for volume expansion during the austenite-to-martensite transformation,because both of them are key parameters for calculating the density of steel at ambient temperature.The existing empirical equations for calculating M s temperature and lattice constants of both martensite and austenite have been all reassessed by the XRD measurements on the microstructures of seven hot-rolled medium-Mn steels.Finally,the densities of seven steels were calculated merely from compositions and compared with the measured ones.The difference between them is no more than 1%,suggesting that the presented model should be of good value in designing the low-density steels.
