Dynamic Recrystallisation during Isothermal Hot Deformation in a Titanium Modified Austenitic Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper discusses the microstructural evolution during dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) of a titanium-modified austenitic stainless steel (alloy D9). Isothermal hot compression tests were conducted in a Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator in the temperature range 1173-1373K to various strains at a constant strain rate of 0.1 and 1 s-1. The extent of DRX increased with increase in strain and temperature. Nucleation of new DRX grains was found to occur by bulging of parent grain boundary. A continuous sub-grain rotation around the original grain boundaries, which would lead to the formation of DRX nucleus in sub-grain structures, could not be confirmed from the present study. Fractions of Σ3 boundaries increased almost linearly with increase in area fraction of DRX. The generation of this Σ3 boundary was accounted for in the formation of annealing twins during DRX. The possible role of annealing twins on DRX in alloy D9 is also discussed.
