Analysis of Recrystallization and Strain-Induced Precipitation on High Nb- and N-Bearing Austenitic Stainless Steel

Abstract:

The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of stainless steels are due to the combined effect of chemical composition and thermomechanical processing. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction precipitation-recrystallization of an austenitic steel with high additions of nitrogen and niobium through continuous-cooling multiple deformation hot-torsion tests. Samples were heated up to a soaking temperature of 1250 ^oC and kept at this temperature for 5 minutes, and then deformed during cooling. The deformation pass was 0.3 with a strain rate of 1 s^-1 and interpass times of 20 or 50 s. The evolution of the microstructure was investigated by optical, EBSD and transmission electron microscopy, using thin foils and carbon extraction replica samples. The results showed that some precipitates were not dissolved after reheating and the presence of niobium-and chromium-rich particles after processing was confirmed. The strain accumulation with the interpass time of 20 s yielded finer precipitation and improved grain refinement than observed after 50 s. Some interaction of the precipitates with dislocations and grain boundary could be evidenced.
