An EBSD Analysis of the Origins of Ridging in AISI 430 Steel Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work the characterisation of both the microstructure and the microtexture of two ferritic stainless steel sheets - AISI 430 (Fe17% Cr) and AISI 434 (17% Cr, 1% Mo) - known to display different ridging behaviours, was carried out by optical metallography, EBSD and OIM techniques. It was concluded that severe ridging is a consequence of: (a) presence of {111} and {001} colonies of grains alternating throughout the sheet plane; (b) through thickness texture inhomogeneity with layers of {001}<110> oriented large grains of low Rvalues sandwiched between layers of higher R-value textured material.
