Abstract
Provided is a high-Mn steel having excellent low-temperature toughness and excellent surface characteristics. A high-Mn steel comprises: a chemical composition containing, in mass %, C: 0.100 to 0.700%, Si: 0.05 to 1.00%, Mn: 20.0 to 35.0%, P: ≤0.030%, S: ≤0.0070%, Al: 0.010 to 0.070%, Cr: 0.50 to 5.00%, N: 0.0050 to 0.0500%, O: ≤0.0050%, Ti: ≤0.005%, and Nb: ≤0.005%, with a balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities; and a microstructure having austenite as a matrix, wherein in the microstructure, a Mn concentration of a Mn-concentrated portion is 38.0% or less, and an average KAM value is 0.3 or more, yield stress is 400 MPa or more, absorbed energy vE−196 in a Charpy impact test at −196° C. is 100 J or more, and percent brittle fracture is less than 10%.
