Effect of Carbon Addition on Ultrafine Grained Microstructure Formation by Warm Compression for Fe-18Ni Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The warm-compression microstructures of two nickel-containing tempered martensite steels with and without carbon were investigated. The EBSD measurement and TEM observation/Kikuchi pattern analysis confirm that the ultrafine microstructures contain ferriteaustenite dual phases with more than 18% austenite. The difference in the austenite amount before and after warm compression proves that the dynamic austenite precipitation occurs during warm deformation and the carbon addition is beneficial to the austenite precipitation. It is also found that the ultrafine austenite grains as a hard phase promote the dynamic recrystallization of ferrite during warm deformation.
