Abstract: | Mechanical and thermal-mechanical treatments of 304 stainless steel enables yield strengths of over 200,000 psi to be obtained
with elongations better than 10 pct. Electron microscopy, X-ray, and magnetic techniques show that during deformation, strain
induced γ → ∈ → α transformation occurs with further thermal nucleation of α achieved by aging up to 400°C. The yield strength
is linearly proportional to the amount of ° irrespective of the treatment used to form α. The yield strength is given by αy = 225f + 48.65 ksi, where ƒ is the volume fraction of martensite. Softening occurs by aging at 500°C and above due to a decrease
in percent α which may occur by renucleation of γ. The system is an unusual form of composite strengthening; hard martensite
particles are formed within the austenite, and the percent α (and thereby the mechanical properties), can be controlled by
the mechanical/thermal-mechanical processing.
