Dynamic recrystallization by rapid heating followed by compression for a 17Ni–0.2C martensite steel

A 17Ni–0.2C martensite steel was rapidly heated below the austenite formation temperature and deformed in compression. Continuous dynamic recrystallization was observed. The behavior is similar to that in a ferrite–pearlite steel but the onset strain is much smaller. Sub-micron ferrite grains were obtained through the dynamic recrystallization.

Comparative topographic study of surface micro‐relief of primary martensite plates in shape memory alloys with different crystalline structures

The surface micro‐reliefs of primary martensite plates, representative for two shape memory alloys (SMAs) with different crystalline structures were compared from qualitative and quantitative point of view by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively. Qualitative evaluations revealed larger widths and heights of the primary plates of ε hexagonal close packed (hcp) martensite, in an Fe‐Mn‐Si‐Cr‐Ni SMA than those of β₂′ orthorhombic (9R) martensite, in a Cu‐Zn‐Al SMA. Quantitative evaluations were based on systematic dimensional measurements of the width and height of primary plate profiles. The measurements were performed on one hundred and twenty five profiles, five on each martensite plate belonging to five typical groups of primary plates, with length above 50 micrometers, of both ε hcp and β₂′ 9R martensites. In order to compare the topographies of the two types of plates a statistical evaluation of the dimensional intervals of width and height of measured plates was performed.     

Influence of phase transformation due to temperature on cyclic plastic deformation in 304LN stainless steel

Strain controlled fatigue experiments are conducted for 304LN at room and elevated temperature of 285 °C in ambient air. Varying cyclic plasticity characterizing parameters such as cyclic hardening/softening and Masing behavior are studied. It is found that hardening along with non-Masing behavior is demonstrated at both temperatures. However the response stresses required to cause deformation are substantially higher at room temperature. Additionally the extent of deviation from masing varied considerably with temperature. Furthermore it is shown that there is a continuous distribution of yield levels at both temperatures. All alterations observed in the cyclic plastic behavior are being accounted by the absence or presence of martensite.     

Analysis of deformation induced martensitic transformation in stainless steels

Abstract

Many studies monitoring the formation of martensite during the tensile deformation of austenite report data which are, in principle, affected by both the applied stress and the resulting plastic strain. It is not clear in these circumstances whether the transformation is stress induced (i.e. the stress provides a mechanical driving force) or whether the generation of defects during deformation helps nucleate martensite in a scenario better described as strain induced transformation. The authors demonstrate in the present work that a large amount of published data relating the fraction of martensite to plastic strain can in fact be described in terms of the pure thermodynamic effect of applied stress.     

Compression Stability of Reversed Austenite in 9Ni Steel

The effect of compressive stress on the stability of reversed austenite in 9Ni steel was investigated by uniaxial and hydrostatic compression.It was found that the uniaxial compressive pressure promoted the γ→α transformation,while the hydrostatic pressure suppressed the γ→α transformation.The pressure dependent transformation behavior can be explained according to thermodynamic analysis.     

Variation in electric resistivity in metastable alloys during thermomechanical loading: Effects of temperature,elasticity, plasticity and phase transformation

301L metastable stainless steel is a ductile material in which there is strong coupling between plasticity and phase transformation, leading to strongly non-linear thermomechanical behaviour. To determine phase transformation kinetics, isothermal tensile tests at different temperatures were carried out and in situ voltage (electric resistance) was measured. We then chose an appropriate post-processing method based on observed voltage using strain and temperature. It was thus possible to determine the effect of temperature, elasticity, plasticity and phase transformation on the electric resistivity of the studied material. After identifying the effect of each strain mechanism, a volume phase fraction determination method based on electric resistivity variation was developed and used to determine the kinetics of phase transformation. Finally, we compared our results with those of two classic methods: the neutron diffraction method and the magnetic method.     

Review: Low transformation temperature weld filler for tensile residual stress reduction

An attractive, alternative approach for the reduction of harmful residual stresses in weld zones is reviewed, which utilises low temperature, solid-state, displacive phase transformations in steel. The theory, latest concepts and practice for the design of such low transformation temperature (LTT) filler alloys are considered. By engineering the phase transformation temperature of the weld metal so as to take advantage of transformation expansion, the residual stress state within the weld zone can be significantly altered, most particularly where the weld thermally contracts with any movement of base parts constrained. To date, the technique has been shown to increase fatigue strength for some common weld geometries, which may enable engineering design codes to be favourably re-drafted where such LTT filler alloys are used.
