Kinetics of Grain Refinement by Warm Deformation of 304-Type Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dynamic process of grain evolution in an S304H-type austenitic stainless steel was studied in multiple forging tests at temperatures of 500°C, 600°C and 700°C. The deformation microstructure with a grain size of about 100 to 400 nm resulted from continuous dynamic recrystallization. The size of new grains and the recrystallization kinetics decreased with decreasing the deformation temperature. The dynamically equilibrium grain size evolved at large strains followed a power law function of the flow stress with a grain size exponent of about-0.2. The formation of new fine grains was assisted by dynamic recovery, which leads to an apparent steady state flow at large total strains.
