Abstract The fracture toughness and hardness of 50Mn steel containing 0.10% (mass fraction) vanadium were tested. The microstructure was observed by using the quantitative metallography, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the correlation of fracture toughness with microstructure was established. The results indicate that cleavage fracture toughness is negatively correlated with prior austenite grain size, the refinement and homogenization of the grains can improve significantly the fracture toughness, which can be used as an important microstructural parameter unit to control the strength and toughness of microalloyed medium carbon steel. The fine and uniform grains and insoluble secondary phases also increase the nucleation sites for ferrite, thus increasing the volume fraction of proeutectoid ferrite, and further enhancing the cracks propagation resistance.
