FeMnAlC alloy steel is a lightweight steel developed by increasing the content of Al and C on the basis of high manganese steel, which has the advantages of low density, high strength, high plasticity, corrosion resistance, etc. It has good fatigue performance and good high-temperature oxidation resistance, and at the same time has strong corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high hardness. FeMnAlC alloy steel has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties (yield strength 0.4-1.0 GPa, tensile strength 0.6-1.3 GPa) and significant weight reduction effect. At the same time, FeMnAlC alloy steel also has other excellent properties such as high strength and high toughness at room temperature and low temperature, good fatigue performance and high-temperature oxidation resistance, etc. In addition, the age hardening and energy absorption capacity during collision of FeMnAlC alloy steel make it a high-strength automobile steel with great potential. However, due to the high content of carbon, manganese and aluminum in FeMnAlC alloy steel, plastic deformation is difficult during forming, and the workpiece is prone to cracking, especially thin-walled complex parts are difficult to form.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) This invention utilizes injection molding technology and selects to prepare Al powder by gas atomization and micro carbon manganese iron alloy powder by crushing.
