Stainless steels (SSs) having a stable and metastable austenitic phase were studied to see the influence of strain-induced
phase transformation in the metastable austenitic stainless steel on the evolution of texture during cold rolling and aging.
AISI 304L and 316L SS plates were unidirectionally cold rolled up to a 90 pct reduction and aged at different aging temperatures.
The strain-induced transformation of austenite to α′-martensite phase and the evolution of texture in both the phases were studied as a function of rolling reduction as well
as aging temperature in the metastable 304L austenitic stainless steel. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was employed
to quantify the volume fractions and characterize the texture of austenite and martensite phases in the rolled and aged conditions.
Results are compared with the texture evolution in the stable austenitic 316L SS. 相似文献

The residual microstructure and mechanical response of shock-loaded stainless steel (AISI-304) of four different grain sizes-23,
55, 85 and 187 Μm-was investigated. In addition to mechanical twinning and planar dislocation arrays, transformation to both
e and α martensite occurred in all shock-loaded specimens but became more extensive with decreasing grain size. In comparison
to the Hall-Petch behavior of yield and early flow stress observed for the material after 5.2 pct cold rolling, the strengthening
efficiency of shock loading decreased with increasing grain size. Shock loading enhanced the strain-induced transformation
to α martensite during subsequent tensile deformation. 相似文献

Deformation-induced martensite in type 304 stainless steel during micro-tension testing was characterized. The stress-strain
behavior of uncharged and hydrogen-charged specimens revealed that hydrogen hastened the onset of hardening but decreased
the strain-hardening rate, leading to premature plastic instability. In both specimens, a set of twin-related α′-martensite
variants with Kurdjumov–Sachs relationships was prevalent. The Nishiyama–Wasserman relationship variant was also formed, but
it was suppressed by hydrogen. This may be attributed to differences in the underlying deformation microstructure. 相似文献

The effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT) and annealing on hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of a type 304 stainless steel was studied
by metallographic characterization and tensile test after hydrogen gas charging. A volume fraction of ~78 pct of the austenite
transformed to α′ martensite by the HPT processing at an equivalent strain of ~30. Annealing the HPT-processed specimen at a temperature of
873 K (600 °C) for 0.5 hours decreased the α′ martensite to ~31 pct with the average grain size reduced to ~0.43 μm through the reverse austenitic transformation. Hydrogen charge into the HPT-processed and the HPT+annealed specimens in
the hydrogen content of ~10 to 20 ppm led to no severe HE but appeared in the solution-treated specimen. Especially the 873 K
(600 °C) annealed specimen had the ~1.4 GPa tensile strength and the ~50 pct reduction of area (RA) despite the hydrogenation. 相似文献

The electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique has been used to assess crystallographic features of the residual
γ phase and the strain-induced ε/α′ martensites in a 304 stainless steel, tensile tested to 10 pct strain at T=−60 °C. The martensitic transformation rate varies according to the γ-grain orientation against the applied stress and the γ-grain size. The α′-transformation textures as well as the γ-misorientation spreads observed in specific γ-grain orientations have been analyzed. Large misorientation spreads are observed in the less-transformed γ grains. This reveals an important crystallographic slip activity, even if less strain-induced martensite has been formed.
A strong γ → α′ variant selection was detected in the cube- and Goss-oriented γ grains for which the transformation is less developed. For the {110} 〈1–11〉 and copper-oriented γ grains, the amount of α′ martensite is significantly higher and the γ → α′ variant selection is less pronounced. This variant selection is then analyzed on at a local scale and is related to the presence
of {111}
γ
localized deformation bands on which further ε/α′ martensites have nucleated. 相似文献

This study compares the dynamic plastic deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of 304L stainless steel with and
without metal-forming prestrain, using the compressive split Hopkinson pressure-bar technique and transmission electron microscopy
(TEM) under strain rates ranging from 8 × 102 to 5 × 103 s−1 at room temperature, with true strains varying from yield to 0.3. Results show that the flow stress of unprestrained and
prestrained 304L stainless steel is sensitive to applied strain rate, but the prestrained material exhibits greater strength.
A higher work-hardening rate and higher strain-rate sensitivity are also found in the prestrained material, while an inverse
tendency exists for the activation volume. A constitutive equation with our experimentally determined specific material parameters
successfully describes both unprestrained and prestrained dynamic behavior. Microstructural observations reveal that the morphologies
of dislocation substructure, mechanical twins, microshear bands, and α′ martensite formation are strongly influenced by prestrain, strain, and strain rate. The density of dislocations increases
with increasing strain and strain rate for both materials. The dislocation cell size decreases with increasing strain, strain
rate, and prestrain. An elongated cell structure appears in the prestrained material as heavy deformation is applied. Mechanical
twins are found only in the prestrained material. Microshear bands and α′ martensite are more evident at large strains and strain rates, especially for the prestrained material. Quantitative analysis
indicates that the amount of dislocations, mechanical twins, and α′ martensite varies as a function of work-hardening stress (σ−σ
y), reflecting different strengthening effects and degrees of microhardness. 相似文献

The microstructures and textures of strain-induced martensite and deformed austenite contained within metastable austenitic
steel were investigated under unidirectional rolling and cross-rolling conditions. Under unidirectional rolling, the laths
of α′ martensite that were produced were uniformly thinner with increasing thickness reduction. On the other hand, under cross-rolling,
the resulting martensite laths varied in width, were irregularly bent, or were changed into polygonal cells. Deformed austenite
possessed a similar texture showing an α
fcc-fiber regardless of the rolling conditions. However, for α′ martensite, the {001}〈110〉
α
orientation was strongly developed in cross-rolled specimens, while {115}〈110〉
α
and {335}〈110〉

Plane-strain compression testing was carried out above, around, and below the A
r3 temperature with the deformation temperature, T
def, varying between 1323 K and 973 K (1050 °C and 700 °C), using Gleeble 3500, to develop uniform distribution of ultra-fine
ferrite (UFF) grains. Prior austenite (γ) grain structure, developed after soaking at 1473 K (1200 °C), was mixed in nature, comprising both coarse- and fine-γ-grain sizes. Applying heavy deformation in a single pass, just above the austenite-to-ferrite (α) transformation temperature (A
r3), and cooling to room temperature resulted in the formation of UFF grain sizes (average α-grain size ~2 to 3 μm), with the largest grain sizes extending up to ~10 to 12 μm. Water quenching just after deformation prevented the coarsening of UFF grains and restricted the largest grain sizes to
under 6 μm. Although the ferrite grain structures appeared homogeneous in slowly cooled samples (cooling rate (CR) 1 K/s), careful
observation revealed the presence of alternate bands of coarse- (5 to 10 μm) and fine-α grains (<1 to 3 μm). The final α-grain size distributions were explained in view of the starting γ-grain size variation, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of γ, dynamic strain-induced γ-to-α transformation (DSIT), and DRX of α and grain growth during slow cooling. Electron backscattered diffraction analysis (EBSD) revealed the presence of a large
fraction (70 to 80 pct) of high-angle boundaries, having misorientation ≥15 deg. Compared to the use of the single, heavy
deformation pass, the application of a number of lighter passes between A
e3 and A
r3 temperatures is more suitable in industrial rolling conditions, and also has the potential of developing UFF grains with
high-angle boundaries. 相似文献

The martensitic transformations in a dual-phase α/β Cu−Zn shape-memory alloy, containing 15 pct by volume of α particles,
were studied during subcooling and deformation. The crystal structure and characteristics of the martensitic transformation
of a dual-phase Cu−Zn alloy were found to be similar to those of a single-phase alloy. Both the thermal martensite formed
by subcooling and the stress-induced martensite (SIM) formed by loading possessed an M9R long-period stacking-order (LPSO)
structure, with internal stacking faults on the (001) basal plane. Upon subcooling, the α particles were deformed in order
to accommodate the shape strain accompanying the martensitic transformation. Although most of them are deformed by slip, deformation
twins have, nevertheless, been found in a few α particles.
Upon loading, the SIM with an M9R structure nucleates and grows at a given temperature; subsequently, another martensite phase
(αS) possessing an fct structure is formed, with a shear developing on the basal plane of the initial M9R SIM during further
loading. However, during unloading, both the αS and SIM are transformed and follow the reverse sequence back to the parent phase. However, some residual SIM and αS were found at zero load, due to a constraint effect of the deformed α particles and grain boundaries. The αS martensite may be formed by two intersecting plates of SIM or by advanced deformation on a single plate of SIM. In addition
to the residual SIM and αS martensite, an αS lamellar martensite was found in the deformed specimen. 相似文献

A study has been made of the HE and SCC of a type 304 and a type 310 austenitic stainless steel, and the results correlated
with the presence or absence of α′ martensite, determined by means of a ferrite detector. Hydrogen induced slow crack growth
(SCG) was observed at room temperature when type 304 was stressed i) in 1 psig (∼105 N/m2) gaseous hydrogen, ii) after high temperature charging, and iii) while undergoing cathodic charging. The fracture surfaces
corresponding to SCG were primarily transgranular and cleavage-like, and were found to be associated with α′. Conditions i)
to iii) did not produce SCG in the type 310 steel, in which α′ martensite was not detected, nor did SCG occur when type 304
was stressed in gaseous hydrogen above the MD temperature (∼110°C). These observations indicated that the formation of the martensitic phase was a prerequisite for SCG
under these test conditions. Stressing of type 310 while it was undergoing cathodic charging at room temperature was found
to produce shallow, nonpropagating cracks, confirming earlier reports that austenite can be embrittled by hydrogen in the
absence of α′. SCC occurred in both alloys in boiling aqueous MgCl2 (154°C) with no evidence for α′ formation. The results are discussed in terms of the mechanisms of HE and SCC.

A thermomechanical process for grain refinement in precipitation hardening aluminum alloys is reported. The process includes
severe overaging, deformation, and recrystallization steps. Microstructural studies by optical and transmission electron microscopy
of grain refinement in 7075 aluminum have revealed that precipitates formed during the overaging step create preferential
nucleation sites for recrystallizing grains. The relationship between precipitate density following severe overaging and recrystallized
grain density has been investigated; the results show that the localized deformation zones associated with particles larger
than about 0.75 μ m can act at preferential nucleation sites for recrystallizing grains. The density of particles capable
of producing nucleation sites for new grains is approximately ten times greater than the density of recrystallized grains.
A close relationship between dislocation cell size after the deformation step and recrystallized grain density has also been
established. Both quantities saturate for rolling reductions larger than approximately 85 pct. The grain size produced in
2.5 mm thick sheet by the optimum processing schedule is approximately 10 μm in longitudinal and long transverse directions
and 6 μm in the short transverse direction. 相似文献

A high-Mn austenitic steel was deformed in cold rolling to study the martensitic transformation and microstructure using X-ray
diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. Despite heavy deformation of 70 pct reduction (1.2 true strain), α′-martensite could not be induced in this alloy, but about 90 pct of the austenite transformed to ε-martensite. However, a small fraction (~4 pct) of α′-martensite could be observed when the same alloy was subjected to low strain compression tests in a Gleeble simulator. The
stability of ε-martensite was attributed to the increase in stacking fault energy of the steel, expected to be more than 20 mJ/m2 because of the increase in temperature during the cold rolling deformation. 相似文献

This article uses a split-Hopkinson pressure bar to investigate the effects of strain rate in the range of 103 s−1 to 8 × 103 s−1 and welding current mode upon the dynamic impact behavior of plasma-arc-welded (PAW) 304L stainless steel (SS) weldments.
Stress-strain curves are plotted for different strain rates and welding parameters, and optical microscopy (OM), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques are used to analyze the microstructure and
fracture characteristics of the weldments. The results confirm that the strain rate and the welding current mode have a significant
influence upon the dynamic impact behavior and microstructure evolution of 304L SS weldments. It is shown that for a constant
strain, the flow stress increases with strain rate for both welding current modes, and that the pulsed current (PC) mode results
in a higher weldment strength than the continuous current (CC) mode. Weldments fabricated using the PC mode exhibit an improved
resistance to thermal softening, a greater strain-rate sensitivity, and a lower activation volume. The OM and SEM observations
reveals that an adiabatic shear band dominates the fracture characteristics of both weldment types under impact loading. Microstructural
analysis reveals that for both welding current modes, the dislocation density and volume fraction of α′ martensite increase
with an increasing strain rate, while the twin formations reduce under the same conditions. Comparing the evolution of the
microstructure in the base metal and the fusion zone, it is found that for both welding current modes, a higher dislocation
density exists in the fusion zone, and that a larger volume fraction of α′ martensite and a greater twin density are present
in the base metal. Furthermore, the dislocation density and volume fraction of α′ martensite is greater in PC weldments than
in their CC counterparts. Finally, the present results indicate that the PC welding mode produces a weldment with superior
dynamic impact response and improved weldment fracture characteristics. 相似文献

As-received hot-rolled commercial grade AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel plates were solution treated at 1060 °C to achieve
chemical homogeneity. Microstructural characterization of the solution-treated material revealed polygonal grains of about
85-μm size along with annealing twins. The solution-treated plates were heavily cold rolled to about 90 pct of reduction in thickness.
Cold-rolled specimens were then subjected to thermal cycles at various temperatures between 750 °C and 925 °C. X-ray diffraction
showed about 24.2 pct of strain-induced martensite formation due to cold rolling of austenitic stainless steel. Strain-induced
martensite formed during cold rolling reverted to austenite by the cyclic thermal process. The microstructural study by transmission
electron microscope of the material after the cyclic thermal process showed formation of nanostructure or ultrafine grain
austenite. The tensile testing of the ultrafine-grained austenitic stainless steel showed a yield strength 4 to 6 times higher
in comparison to its coarse-grained counterpart. However, it demonstrated very poor ductility due to inadequate strain hardenability.
The poor strain hardenability was correlated with the formation of strain-induced martensite in this steel grade. 相似文献

An investigation on the formation of α″ martensite and its influence on Young’s modulus and mechanical properties of forged Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (wt pct) alloy is
reported in this article. For ice-water-quenched specimens after solution treatment at 1023, 1123, and 1223 K in the single
β-phase field for 1.8, 3.6, 14.4, and 28.8 ks, X-ray diffraction and internal friction measurements showed that the volume
fraction of the α″ martensite changes with both solution temperature and time. This effect has been attributed mainly to the influence of grain
size of the β-parent phase on the stability of the β phase and, consequently, on the martensitic start (M
s) temperature. A critical grain size of 40 μm was identified for the β phase, below which the martensitic transformation is largely suppressed because of low M
S temperature. With the β grain size increasing above this critical value, the volume fraction of the α″ martensite increases significantly at first and then decreases gradually with further grain growth. The α″ martensite was shown to possess good ductility and, compared to the β phase, lower strength and hardness but nearly identical Young’s modulus in the studied alloy. 相似文献

An investigation of phase transformations in hydrogen-charged metastable austenitic stainless steels was carried out. Solution-annealed,
high-purity, ultralow-carbon Fel8Crl2Ni (305) and laboratory-heat Fel8Cr9Ni (304) stainless steels were examined. The steels
were cathodically charged with hydrogen at 1, 10, and 100 mA/cm2, at room temperature for 5 minutes to 32 hours, in an lN H2SO4 solution with 0.25 g/L of NaAsO2 added as a hydrogen recombination poison. Changes in microstructure and hydrogen damage that resulted from charging and subsequent
room-temperature aging were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hydrides from hydrogen
charging (hep ε* in 305 SS and fcc γ* and hcp ε* in 304 SS) were observed. The evidence suggests the following mechanisms
for hydride formation during charging: (1)γ → ε → ε* hydride and (2) γ → γ* hydride. These hydrides were found to be unstable and decomposed during room-temperature aging
in air by the following suggested mechanisms: (1)ε* hydride (hcp) → expanded ε (hcp) phase →α′ (bcc) phase and (2) γ* hydride →γ phase. The transformation from ε* toα′, however, was incomplete, and a substantial fraction of ε was retained. A kinetics model for hydride decomposition and the
accompanying phase transformation during aging is proposed. 相似文献

A mathematical model has been developed to compute the changes in the austenite grain size during rolling in a hot-strip mill.
The heat-transfer model described in the first of this series of papers has been employed to calculate the temperature distribution
through the thickness which serves as a basis for the microstructure model. Single-and double-hit compression tests have been
conducted at temperatures of 900 °C, 850°C, 950 °C, and 875 °C on 0.34 and 0.05 pct carbon steels to determine the degree
of recrystallization by metallographic evaluation of quenched samples and by measuring the magnitude of fractional softening.
The Institut de Recherches de la Sidérurgie Francaise, (IRSID) Saint Germain-en-Laye, France equation has been found to yield
the best characterization of the observed recrystallization kinetics. The equations representing static recrystallization
kinetics, recrystallized grain size, and grain growth kinetics have been incorporated in the model. The principle of additivity
has been invoked to permit application of the isothermal recrystallization data to the nonisothermal cooling conditions. The
model has been validated by comparing predicted austenite grain sizes with measurements made on samples quenched after one
to four passes of rolling on the CANMET pilot mill. The austenite grain size evolution during rolling of a 0.34 pct carbon
steel on Stelco’s Lake Erie Works (LEW) hot-strip mill has been computed with the aid of the model. The grain size decreased
from an initial value of 180μm to 35μm in the first pass due to the high reduction of 46 pct. The changes in austenite grain size in subsequent passes were found
to be small in comparison because of the lower per pass reductions. It has been shown that the equation employed to represent
grain growth kinetics in the interstand region has a significant influence on the computed final grain size. Altering the
rolling schedule had a negligible influence on the final grain size for a given finished gage. A 200°C increase in entry temperature
to the mill resulted in a 20μm increase in final grain size, which is significant. This can be attributed to increased grain growth at the higher temperature.
