The structure and mechanical properties under tension and impact bending of eleven batches of high-strength manganese-containing steels (Mn-steels) containing 0.09 to 0.14 wt.% Ti subjected to thermomechanical rolling were studied in the temperature range from –60 to +20 °С. It was found that the values of the coefficient of impact toughness anisotropy in the range of Ka = 2.0–4.9 increase at higher titanium content and decrease at higher aluminum content. The difference between ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures T50 and T34 for longitudinal and transverse KCV samples increases at higher contents of titanium, aluminum, sulfur, and carbon. This effect is caused by an earlier nucleation and growth of large dimples of ductile fracture around sizable inclusions preferentially located in the direction of rolling.
