## Abstract

A steel with nominal composition Fe-28Mn-8Al-1.0C in mass percent was hot rolled at two temperatures, 1100 \\degree C and 850 \\degree C and subsequently aged at 550 \\degree C for 24 h. The lower temperature rolling resulted in a yield strength increment of 299 MPa while still retaining an elongation to failure of over 30\\%. The large improvement in strength was attributed to an increase in residual dislocation density which was retained even after the ageing heat treatment. A homogeneous precipitation of $\\kappa$-carbides in both samples also showed that the high residual dislocation density did not adversely affect precipitation kinetics. These findings demonstrate that the tensile properties of this class of steel can yet be improved by optimising hot rolling process parameters.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
