Development of Ultrafine Grained Austenitic Stainless Steels by Large Strain Deformation and Annealing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development of ultrafine grained structures in 316L and 304-type austenitic stainless steels subjected to large strain cold working and subsequent annealing and their effect on mechanical properties were studied. The cold rolling was accompanied by a mechanical twinning and a partial martensitic transformation and resulted in the development of elongated austenite/ferrite grains with the transverse size of about 50 nm at a strain of 4. The grain refinement by large strain cold working resulted in an increase of tensile strength above 2000 MPa in the both steels. Annealing at temperatures above 500°C resulted in ferrite-austenite reversion. However, the transverse grain/subgrain size remained on the level of about 100-150 nm after annealing at temperatures up to 700°C.
