Microstructure,texture and grain boundaries character distribution evolution of ferritic stainless steel during rolling process

In order to better understand the texture, microstructure and grain boundaries character distribution evolution of ferritic stainless steel, the texture, microstructure and grain boundaries character distribution of ferritic stainless steel (hot rolled sheet, cold rolled sheet and annealing sheet) with 11 wt%Cr content were studied using X-ray diffraction and electron back scattered diffraction technique. The texture of the hot and cold rolled sheets has a through-thickness texture gradient. In the center layer of the hot and cold rolling sheet, α-fiber texture was observed which was attributed to ideal plane strain deformation. Close to the surface a Gross orientation was detected which was attributed to shear deformation. During annealing, the γ-fiber was formed attributed to recrystallization process. The microstructure of the hot and cold rolled sheets was non-homogeneous through the sheet thickness, while, the microstructure of annealing sheets was homogeneous through the sheet thickness. Grain boundaries character distribution results show that there are many low angle grain boundaries in hot and cold rolled sheets and many high angle grain boundaries and coincidence site lattice after annealing. The above results indicated that the changes in texture are closely related to the grain boundaries type.     

Improvement of Surface Ridging Resistance of an Ultra-purified Ferritic Stainless Steel by Optimizing Hot Rolling Condition

The effects of the finisher entry temperatures(FETs) on the surface ridging behavior for an ultra-purified21%Cr ferritic stainless steel have been investigated. The results indicate that decreasing the FET facilitates the formation of in-grain shear bands in the hot rolled slab. The in-grain shear bands supplied recrystallization nucleation sites in grains during subsequent annealing through coalescence of subgrains, which is beneficial to refine the microstructures and intensify the {111}//ND textures. This effect will evolve to the final cold rolled and annealed sheet. The micro-texture analysis indicates that the formation of grain colony in the final sheet is weakened by decreasing the FET. Then, the surface ridging resistance of FSS is enhanced due to the optimizing of micro-texture distribution.     

Effect of Hot Band Annealing on Forming Limit Diagrams of Ultra-Pure Ferritic Stainless Steel

In order to better understand the texture evolution, coincidence site lattice (CSL) and forming limit diagrams (FLDs) of ferritic stainless steels with and without hot band annealing, the texture evolution and CSL of ferritic stainless steels with 15% Cr content were studied by using x-ray diffraction and electron back-scattered diffraction technique. The strain hardening exponent n value, the strength coefficient K value, and Plastic strain ratio r value are the key parameters for the FLD. It was found out that the FLD_o of plane strain condition and the stretchability were mainly influenced by their n value and K value, respectively. The higher n value and K value, better was the stretchability of investigated steels. The intensity of the γ-fiber dominated by {111} 〈112〉 was improved significantly in the cold rolled and annealed sheets because of a hot band annealing treatment and the sharp increase of Σ13b CSL boundaries. The increase of the formability is attributed to the significantly increase of the r value.     

电工钢中黄铜织构行为及其对Goss织构的影响

本文通过EBSD取向成像技术检测追踪了取向硅钢热轧、脱碳退火及二次再结晶过程中黄铜取向晶粒的形成规律.结果表明,黄铜取向的形成是热轧时Goss取向在剪切力作用下向铜型取向转动受阻而绕法向转动的结果.与Goss晶粒和{111}〈112〉取向晶粒类似,黄铜取向和{111}〈110〉取向晶粒之间存在形变与再结晶相互转化的密切关系;二次再结晶时若抑制剂钉扎控制不当,在次表层的Goss晶粒快速长入中心层之前,黄铜取向晶粒已长成大尺寸并接触样品表面,随后的Goss大晶粒就很难吞并黄铜取向晶粒.     

高纯Cr17钢板厚方向织构演变、成形性能及表面皱折

以高纯Cr17铁素体不锈钢为实验材料,对比研究了热轧不退火、退火两种工艺对其板厚方向织构演变、成形性及表面皱折的影响。采用金相显微镜、X射线衍射技术及背散射电子衍射技术观察两种工艺条件下的组织和织构演变。结果表明:成品板各层织构特征存在显著差异,这是由于低温轧制过程中沿板厚方向不同应变状态导致的热轧织构梯度遗传所致。与热轧不退火相比,热轧退火有利于成品板各层γ纤维再结晶织构增强,偏离{111}<112>组分的程度减弱,α纤维织构弱化;有利于弱化成品板的带状晶粒簇,促使晶粒簇分布均匀分散。

Rolling of 316L Stainless Steel with Rough Rolls to Potentially Obtain Superficial Nanograins

316L stainless steel plates of 5-mm thickness, normalized at 900 °C, were cold rolled with different reductions and number of passes using rolls with three different surface roughnesses: grain heights of 0.17 and 0.33 mm and rhomboid-shaped grains of 1.5-mm height. Subsequently, the rolled samples were annealed at 275 °C for 1 h in an effort to achieve superficial nanograins. The plates laminated using low-roughness rolls had continuous superficial microcrystallization when they were rolled for at least 26 passes. For samples made with rougher rolls, the recrystallized superficial grains formed on the surface (sized ~10-15 μm) were smaller than those below the surface; this behavior was caused by the major deformation induced by repeated indentations. The superficial recrystallization of the sample also tended to be more continuous for higher number of passes; micrographs of the penetration profiles of indentation in the samples rolled with high-roughness rolls revealed that a sample rolled 24 times had not yet reached the steady surface topology. As a conclusion, in order to successfully form superficial nanograins, very low-roughness rolls must be used as well as a small absolute reduction per pass, followed by annealing. These rolling conditions generate a continuous field of highly superficial deformations, which act as nucleation centers for nanograins during annealing.

Formation mechanisms of recrystallization textures in aluminum sheets based on theories of oriented nucleation and oriented growth

The recrystallization textures in 95% rolled aluminum sheets with different purities and initial textures were investigated. The effects of recovery levels and the dragging effects induced by impurities on the effective driving force and corresponding behaviors of oriented nucleation and oriented growth during annealing were analyzed. The oriented nucleation is a common behavior in the initial stage of primary recrystallization if the effective driving force in deformed matrix is not too high to reduce the necessity of nucleation period. Oriented growth might appear if the temperature is not too high and the grains, of which the misorientation to matrix is about 40°〈111〉, have enough time and space to expand growth advantages, while certain reduction of effective driving force is also necessary. The recrystallization textures could be changed by controlling initial textures and effective driving forces which can be regulated by recovery levels and dragging effects.     

Microstructure and crystallographic texture of an ultrafine grained C–Mn steel and their evolution during warm deformation and annealing

The evolution of microstructure and texture of a 0.2%C–Mn steel during large strain warm deformation and subsequent annealing has been investigated. The process of grain subdivision during warm deformation is essential for the formation of ultrafine grains in such a material. The study reveals that pronounced recovery instead of primary recrystallization is required to obtain a large fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) as a prerequisite for the development of ultrafine grains in the course of warm deformation. The prevalence of primary recrystallization instead of recovery is not generally beneficial in this context since it reduces significantly the dislocation density and removes the substructure which is important for the gradual formation of subgrains and, finally, of ultrafine grains which are surrounded by HAGBs. Consistently, the texture of the ultrafine grained 0.2%C–Mn steel observed after large strain warm deformation and subsequent annealing, consists primarily of the α-(〈1 1 0〉∥RD) texture fiber which indicates strong recovery. The γ-(〈1 1 1〉∥ND) texture fiber which is typical of recrystallized rolled ferritic steels does not appear. The process occurring during the deformation and subsequent annealing can, therefore, be interpreted as a pronounced recovery process during which new grains are created without preceding nucleation.     

热轧工艺对超纯Cr17铁素体不锈钢成形性能的影响

对一种铌、钛双稳定化的超纯Cr17铁素体不锈钢分别进行常规热轧和低温热轧,再依次进行相同的退火、冷轧及最终再结晶退火处理。对比研究两种热轧工艺对组织、织构演变及成形性能的影响规律。结果表明,与常规热轧相比,低温热轧能显著细化热轧组织、弱化α纤维织构并强化γ纤维织构,最终使冷轧退火板的γ纤维再结晶织构明显增强、偏离{111}<121>组分的程度显著降低,使珋r值增大、△r值减小。低温热轧是改善超纯Cr17铁素体不锈钢成形性能的有效途径。     

Nb和Cr对冷轧低碳低硅双相钢组织性能的影响

研究了在不同双相处理工艺条件下加Nb(0.033%)和加Cr(0.44%)两种低碳低硅冷轧双相钢的组织演变规律和性能特点。分析了合金元素Cr和Nb对双相组织中马氏体体积分数、马氏体形态和铁素体晶粒尺寸的影响。结果表明,Nb的作用主要是通过NbC粒子的析出阻碍再结晶晶粒的长大,从而在同样较低温度热处理工艺条件下,加Nb双相钢中的铁素体晶粒较细。随着处理温度的升高,当相变先于再结晶发生时,NbC对细化晶粒的作用不明显,因而加Nb和加Cr钢具有相近的铁素体晶粒尺寸。Cr提高奥氏体形成温度,导致双相处理时奥氏体的体积分数以及淬火后马氏体的体积分数的减少。力学性能分析表明,在同样的双相处理条件下,加Nb钢具有较高的强度和较低的屈强比;而加Cr钢则表现出较好的塑性。     

A study on the formation mechanisms of the cube recrystallization texture in cold rolled Fe–36%Ni alloys

The formation of sharp cube recrystallization texture after high cold rolling reductions in Fe–36%Ni has been studied by means of X-ray texture measurements and extensive transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, including orientation measurements even in highly deformed materials. In contrast to Cu and Al, this material shows only little recovery during cold deformation; therefore, the deformation structure can be studied in detail. After high cold rolling the cube grains present at the hot rolled state show the formation of cells and the development of a large orientation gradient inside cube bands. During recrystallization nucleation of cube grains proceeds at a high rate inside these structures. For low deformations cube grain nucleation seems to be inhibited due to the insufficient orientation gradient across the cells. Regions of other orientations show a much lower nucleation rate owing to their inappropriate microstructure. Thus, other recrystallization textures only develop if the cube nucleation is inhibited.     

Comparative Study of Hardening Mechanisms During Aging of a 304 Stainless Steel Containing α′-Martensite

Strain aging and hardening behaviors of a 304 stainless steel containing deformation-induced martensite were investigated by examining mechanical properties and microstructural evolution for different aging temperature and time. Introduced age hardening mechanisms of a cold rolled 304 stainless steel were the additional formation of ????-martensite, hardening of ????-martensite, and hardening of deformed austenite. The increased amount of ????-martensite at an aging temperature of 450?°C confirmed the additional formation of ????-martensite as a hardening mechanism in a cold rolled 304 stainless steel. Additionally, the increased hardness in both ????-martensite and austenite phases with aging temperature proved that hardening of both ????-martensite and austenite phases would be effective as hardening mechanisms in cold rolled and aged 304 stainless steels. The results suggested that among hardening mechanisms, hardening of an ????-martensite phase, including the diffusion of interstitial solute carbon atoms to dislocations and the precipitation of fine carbide particles would become a major hardening mechanism during aging of cold rolled 304 stainless steels.

Detailed Microstructural Characterization and Restoration Mechanisms of Duplex and Superduplex Stainless Steel Friction-Stir-Welded Joints

Duplex stainless steels are successfully used in a wide variety of applications in areas such as the food industry, petrochemical installations, and sea water desalination plants, where high corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength are required. However, during fusion welding operations, there can be changes to the favorable microstructure of these materials that compromise their performance. Friction stir welding with a non-consumable pin enables welded joints to be obtained in the solid state, which avoids typical problems associated with solidification of the molten pool, such as segregation of alloying elements and the formation of solidification and liquefaction cracks. In the case of superduplex stainless steels, use of the technique can avoid unbalanced proportions of ferrite and austenite, formation of deleterious second phases, or growth of ferritic grains in the heat-affected zone. Consolidated joints with full penetration were obtained for 6-mm-thick plates of UNS S32101 and S32205 duplex stainless steels, and S32750 and S32760 superduplex steels. The welding heat cycles employed avoided the conditions required for formation of deleterious phases, except in the case of the welded joint of the S32760 steel, where SEM images indicated the formation of secondary phases, as corroborated by decreased mechanical performance. Analysis using EBSD and transmission electron microscopy revealed continuous dynamic recrystallization by the formation of cellular arrays of dislocations in the ferrite and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization in the austenite. Microtexture evaluation indicated the presence of fibers typical of shear in the thermomechanically affected zone. These fibers were not obviously present in the stir zone, probably due to the intensity of microstructural reformulation to which this region was subjected.     

Effect of initial textures on texture formation in AA 3004 sheets during continuous confined strip shearing and subsequent annealing

The effect of initial textures on the texture formation during continuous confined strip shearing (CCSS) and subsequent annealing was investigated in AA 3004 sheets. The CCSS tools were designed to provide a constant shear strain of the order of 0.5 per pass while preserving the original sheet shape. During the CCSS deformation, the initial texture disappeared, and shear texture components developed. However, the intensity of the shear texture components did not further develop with an increasing number of CCSS passes. The softer initial sample depicting the cube texture displayed the evolution of {111}//ND fiber orientations. Upon recrystallization annealing, the textures developed during CCSS were randomized through the suppression of oriented nucleation and selected growth which generally dominate the evolution of recrystallization texture in cold rolled aluminum alloy sheets.     

Investigation on the Recrystallization Mechanism in Warm-Rolled Ti-IF Steel

The nuclei orientation, the nucleation site at the early stage of recrystallization, and the growth mechanism of the nuclei have been studied by EBSD analysis in Ti-IF steel during direct annealing after warm rolling. It is concluded that the formation of the recrystallization texture is dominated by the oriented nucleation mechanism. The recrystallized nuclei with γ-orientation emerged preferentially at the beginning of recrystallization and preferred to form in the deformed bands with γ-orientation and on the boundaries between γ- and α-orientations. The recrystallized grains first consumed their neighboring γ-oriented matrix; and then consumed the α-oriented deformed bands at the late stage of recrystallization, leading to strong γ-fiber.     

Thermal Stability Study of Ultrafine Grained 304L Stainless Steel Produced by Martensitic Process

An ultrafine grain 304L stainless steel with average grain size of about 650 nm was produced by martensitic process. 10 mm as-received sheets were 80% cold rolled in the temperature of ?15 °C and then annealed at 700 °C for 300 min to obtain ultrafine grained microstructure. The results showed that the ultrafine grained 304L steel has yield strength of 720 MPa, tensile strength of about 920 MPa, and total elongation of 47% which is about twice that of coarse grain structure. The effect of annealing temperature (750-900 °C) on the grain growth kinetics was modeled by isothermal kinetics equation which resulted in the grain growth exponent (n) and activation energy for grain growth of 4.8 and 455 KJ/mol, respectively. This activation energy was also compared with those for other austenitic steels to better understanding of the nature of grain growth and atoms mobility during annealing. It was found that activation energy for grain growth is about twice higher than self-diffusion activation energy of austenite that is related to the Zener pinning effects of the second phase particles.
